Kenning's take

What it does

Stability Matrix is an open-source desktop app that installs, updates and launches local image generation packages such as ComfyUI, Forge, Fooocus and SwarmUI with one click. It keeps one shared folder of models for all of them and can download models from CivitAI and Hugging Face. It also has its own built-in interface for generating images.

  • One-click install and update for Stable Diffusion packages
  • Shared model folder across all packages
  • Model browser for CivitAI and Hugging Face
  • Built-in Inference interface
  • Embedded Git and Python, fully portable

Who it suits. Hobbyists and developers who run open image models on their own computer.
