ComfyUI Nixie Timer

ComfyUI Nixie Timer 🕰️

A Nixie-tube (辉光管) styled world clock + inference timer node for ComfyUI.

Drag the node into your workflow and it starts working immediately — no configuration needed.

Features

• Nixie-tube glow style — classic orange vacuum-tube digits with electrode details, built in pure CSS
• World clock — live date & time in YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS format
• Inference timer — press Queue / Queue Front to start counting, stops automatically when the queue finishes (or on error)
• Multi-language — labels follow ComfyUI's UI language automatically (zh / en / ja / ko / ru / de / fr / es / pt / it)
  • Time is kept after completion (not reset) until you Queue again
• Canvas-anchored — the panel lives inside the node, moves/scales with the canvas like any normal node
• Auto scale — drag the node's border to scale the whole panel proportionally (text + background together)
• Multiple instances — add several nodes, each shows its own panel; timers stay in sync

Installation

Option 1: Clone (recommended)

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/wul7chaos/Comfyui-nixie-timer.git

Option 2: Manual copy

Copy the Comfyui-nixie-timer folder into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/.

Then restart ComfyUI (the extension is registered server-side on startup) and refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R).

Usage

1. In ComfyUI, double-click the canvas and search for NixieTimer (or 辉光管) — category utils
2. Add it to the canvas — the panel appears automatically
3. Press Queue — the timer starts counting
4. When the run finishes, the timer stops and keeps the elapsed time
5. Delete the node to remove the panel

Notes

• Requires a modern browser (Chromium / Firefox / Edge) — uses ResizeObserver, pointer events, CSS transform
• The node itself performs no computation (returns nothing); it is a pure UI element
