👁 Show (Int)

Half of debugging a ComfyUI graph is answering "wait, what number is actually flowing down this wire?" Show Int answers exactly that. Drag it onto an INT output and it displays the value, live, every run. That's the whole node - and when a loop or a math node or a seed manager is quietly handing you the wrong number, this is the fastest way to catch it.

Why a display node earns its place

ComfyUI passes data along wires you can't see into. A KSampler wants an integer step count; a batch node wants a count; a loop emits a running index. When something's off, the value is usually right there in the graph, invisible. Dropping a display node onto the wire turns that hidden number into something on screen. It's the node equivalent of a print() statement - cheap, disposable, and the thing that saves you twenty minutes of poking at the wrong node.

The Bjornulf pack leans into this with a small family of type-specific display nodes: one for strings, one for floats, one for JSON, and this one for integers. They're color-coded so you don't mix them up - the INT display is blue, floats are orange, strings green. The author's stated reason for splitting them by type is convenience: because Show Int only accepts an INT, ComfyUI will recommend it automatically when you drag off an integer output, so you're not hunting through a menu. It's a tiny quality-of-life thing that adds up when you're wiring fast.

The one input

There's exactly one: INT, the integer to show (default 0). No outputs - it's a terminal display node, a leaf you hang off a wire to read it. You don't route anything onward from it; if you need the value to keep flowing and be visible, tap it off with the display in parallel rather than in series.

Typical spots you'll want it: on the output of a Loop Integer or Loop Sequential node to confirm the counter is stepping the way you think; on a seed so you can copy the exact number that produced a good result; on a batch-size or step count you're feeding into a sampler; anywhere a number is computed rather than typed and you want to verify it before it causes a silent mistake downstream.

Installing the pack

Show Int ships in the single Bjornulf_custom_nodes pack alongside ~170 others. ComfyUI Manager → Install Custom Nodes → search Bjornulf_custom_nodes → install → restart. Or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/justUmen/Bjornulf_custom_nodes

Restart and it's under the Bjornulf category. No dependencies, no models - a display node works the instant the pack loads.

Common issues

There isn't much to break here, which is the point. Two things worth knowing. First, it only takes an INT - if you try to feed it a float or a string it won't accept the connection; reach for the matching Show Float or Show Text node instead (that type-strictness is deliberate, so the right display auto-suggests on drag). Second, the value updates when the node actually runs, so if ComfyUI caches an unchanged branch you might see a stale-looking number until something upstream forces a re-execute - nudge the seed or the input and it refreshes. Beyond that, it's about as reliable as a node gets: drop it, read the number, move on.
