Local Unlimited Mode

Master Promptus to generate locally, privately, and unlock zero-limit creation.

1. Installing the ComfyUI Server

Promptus includes its own GPU server inside the desktop app. You don't need to manually install CUDA, Python, or other technical dependencies.

Open Profile → Open Manager.
In Promptus Manager (PManager), click Install ComfyUI Server.
Click install —the app handles the download and setup automatically.

2. Running Offline

Generate images, videos, music, 3D, audio and more privately on your hardware without using cloud servers.

Switch the connection toggle from "Online" → "Local."
Ensure models are downloaded while online first so they are available on your machine.
The app will indicate processing is happening locally once the GPU server is active.

3. Adding Models & Cosyflows

Download the models you want to use locally. You can select from Cosyflow workflows and install your own models from Huggingface.

Go to Cosyflows → Select to Install Locally.
Click Download Model (approx. 10–20 min).
Restart the ComfyUI GPU server and refresh by clicking the Promptus logo in the app.

4. Private Generation

Local models only appear when you're in Local Mode. Can create privately and disable Safety Mode.

Go to Settings → Safe Mode and turn it Off.
Select a model from the Cosyflow Selections.
Enjoy total creative freedom with zero cloud-based restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Automatic1111 still worth using in 2026?

A1111 is still a solid tool for prompt-based image generation. But newer model architectures like FLUX and SD 3.5 run better elsewhere. If you want to keep using your A1111 while running ComfyUI workflows — packaged, shareable, and local-first — that's exactly what Promptus is built for.

Why do my Automatic1111 workflows break on other machines?

A1111 ties your workflow to your local Python environment, extension versions, and model paths. Move it to another machine and something almost always breaks — a missing extension, a different CUDA version, a wrong folder structure. Promptus solves this with CosyFlows: packaged workflows that include their inputs, defaults, and dependencies so they run the same way every time, on any supported machine.

What is the difference between Automatic1111 and ComfyUI?

A1111 is prompt-first — you type, adjust sliders, and generate. ComfyUI is node-based — you wire together a full pipeline with granular control over every step. ComfyUI is more powerful but harder to share and run reliably. With Promptus you can imports ComfyUI workflows and wraps them into a clean interface so you get the power of ComfyUI without managing the node graph yourself.

How can I run Stable Diffusion locally for without a monthly subscription?

Promptus you can download and runs entirely on your hardware in Local Mode. Once you install the built-in ComfyUI GPU server and download a model, you generate images, video, audio, and 3D locally with no cloud costs, no usage caps, and no data leaving your machine.

How do I share or reuse my AI image or video workflows with others?

In A1111, sharing a workflow usually means handing someone a folder and hoping they have the same extensions installed. In Promptus, you package your workflow as a CosyFlow — a self-contained bundle with inputs, defaults, and model references baked in. Anyone with Promptus can run it without setup, debugging, or digging through folder paths.
