Civitai Updater for ComfyUI

Civitai Updater Banner

ComfyUI custom node extension focused on update visibility for local Civitai models.

Civitai Updater Sidebar Panel

Core UX

  • Check for Updates scans files and compares local model versions with latest Civitai releases.
  • Scan Metadata Only scans files and refreshes sidecar metadata only.
  • Results are paginated (25/50/100), filterable, and can hide specific remote versions.
  • Long jobs support Pause/Resume and Stop.

Version means a specific Civitai release of a model. New is now date-based: a remote version is shown only when its publishedAt date, or createdAt when publishedAt is missing, is newer than the newest installed local version date for that model.

Installation

  1. Put this repo under ComfyUI custom_nodes (or create a junction/symlink).
  2. Restart ComfyUI.
  3. Open Civitai in the sidebar.
