Key features

Every action has a hotkey

Swap the model, keep the prompt

<img src="docs/media/swap-image-models.webp" alt="Nano Banana 2 swapped to other image models, the prompt carried over" width="100%">

Subgraphs with a model inside swap the same way: an API model to a local pipeline (your own subgraphs, or ComfyUI's ready-made ones), and back.

Swap a whole batch at once

<img src="docs/media/swap-many-models.webp" alt="Three templates selected with Ctrl+A, the model swapped in all of them at once, each keeping its own prompt" width="100%">

Save any chain as a button

<img src="docs/media/save-as-button.webp" alt="Group with G, name it, X saves it as a button, one click brings it back" width="100%">

Buttons snap together

<img src="docs/media/modular-buttons.webp" alt="Saved buttons chained one after another onto a Load Image" width="100%">

Saved buttons can live in a shared folder too (a studio drive, one per show), so a team builds one library together.

Make it yours
