Open-Source Tool for Organizing ComfyUI Model Libraries

No-Percentage6406 · reddit · 2026-07-19

To solve the common headache of messy ComfyUI model libraries, the author built a free tool called **combuddy**, positioning it as a "ComfyUI model librarian." ### What it does - Finds **byte-level duplicate models** and estimates reclaimable space - Flags models **not referenced by any workflow** as cleanup candidates - Reads file headers to identify model type/precision, then pulls real names, preview images, and trigger words from Civitai - Generates a packaging report when exporting workflows, telling others which models are already owned, which have mismatched versions, and which are missing ### How to use The tool emphasizes **local execution** and **safe cleanup**: deletions only move files to a recoverable recycle bin rather than hard-deleting them. Civitai queries are optional and only send file hashes. The author also provides `uvx combuddy demo` to try it directly on sample data.
