Dev open-sources tool using local VLMs to catalog and auto-suggest his 5,600-LoRA collection
EricRollei · reddit · 2026-10-12
Reddit user EricRollei released Eric LoRA Catalog (on Comfy Registry), an open-source tool born from an unmanageable hoard of 5,600 LoRAs that filenames could no longer organize.
Key features:
- Local vision-LLM cards: runs via LM Studio/Ollama (e.g. Qwen3-VL 8B, ≤12GB VRAM) on example images plus Civitai metadata to auto-write each LoRA's role (style, lighting, detailer, subject), look, trigger words, weight range and NSFW level — fully offline, 8-10s per LoRA.
- Card editor & file manager: quick review, star ratings, artist:/trigger: search syntax, duplicate finder, move/rename with undo.
- Civitai audience data: per-base-model rankings, weights people actually use (from image metadata), and top-liked test prompts.
- LoRA Suggester node: builds a LoRA stack per role with weights from your prompt, with a suggest-only preview mode.
Requires Python 3.12; cataloging 1,000 LoRAs takes roughly an evening. Also works standalone with Forge/A1111. Currently v0.9 testing release.
