About SAUS

SAUS is a streamlined interface for AI image and video generation that uses ComfyUI as its backend engine. Workflows converted into a clean, production-ready application environment.

Why SAUS?

  • Simple: Built for creators who need results without the node-induced headaches.
  • App: A powerful wrapper that extends ComfyUI's capabilities into a standalone-app feel.
  • U See: A clean, expansive "view" of your creative output - not just your backend.

What is SAUS?

ComfyUI is a powerful and flexible tool to use the latest OSS AI image and video generation workflows. However, its flexibility makes it complex and challenging to use.

SAUS simplifies this by converting popular and powerful workflows into 'apps'. These apps provide a clean user interface, allowing you to focus on creativity.

SAUS is a custom node for ComfyUI that works as a robust and simple user interface to run the most interesting workflows of ComfyUI, so you can focus on the generation of images. ComfyUI runs in the background, so you can always access it to understand how the image generation process works, use more advanced features, and create more advanced workflows.

Installation

Requirements - ComfyUI and ComfyUI-Manager

For detailed instructions on how to install ComfyUI and ComfyUI-Manager, please refer to ComfyUI Installation Instructions.

Recommended Custom nodes

SAUS itself needs no extra custom nodes, and the installer scripts install only SAUS.

From ComfyUI Manager

If you already have installed ComfyUI and ComfyUI-Manager, the easiest way is to do it via the Manager.

Search for ComfyUI-SAUS and install it.

Manual Install - git clone

It is required that you have git installed.

  1. Navigate to the custom_nodes folder inside your ComfyUI installation.
  2. Open a terminal (or type cmd in the address bar on Windows).
  3. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dsigmabcn/ComfyUI-SAUS.git

Automatic Install (scripts)

To simplify installation, we provide scripts for Windows and Linux that install SAUS and the recommended custom nodes automatically.

The SAUS installers consider you already have ComfyUI and ComfyUI-Manager already installed.

Windows (Portable Version)

  1. Download the install-saus-windows.bat script from this repository.
  2. Place the file in your ComfyUI_windows_portable directory (the folder containing run_nvidia_gpu.bat and the ComfyUI folder).
  3. Double-click install-saus-windows.bat to run it.

Linux

Git needs to be installed in your system. If you do not have it

sudo apt install git-all
  1. Download the install-saus-linux.sh script from this repository.
  2. Place the file in your ComfyUI root directory (the folder containing custom_nodes).
  3. Open a terminal in that directory.
  4. Make the script executable and run it: 
    chmod +x install-saus-linux.sh
./install-saus-linux.sh

Runpod - pods

Runpod offers GPU rental at a good price for running the latest image and video models, so you do not have to grind and optimise workflows yourself. After signing up, create a Network Disk (large enough for the models) and use the ComfyUI SAUS template.

See the Runpod guide for the port to open and the first-run notes.
