ComfyUI-Hide-API-Templates

Hides the ComfyUI "partner" / API surface from the UI:

1. Partner workflow templates — removed from the Templates menu.
2. Partner nodes — removed from the Node Library and the create-node menu.
3. ComfyUI Cloud sign-in / login button — hidden from the top bar.
4. "User" (My Account) settings section — hidden from the Settings dialog.
5. "Deploy to Comfy API" promo item — hidden from the workflow tab context menu (right-click a workflow tab).
6. Comfy Org startup banner — the [INFO] ComfyUI is developed by Comfy Org … platform.comfy.org/ascii … console line (and the post-job /ascii-job hints) is suppressed via the upstream COMFYUI_DISABLE_PRODUCT_TIPS environment variable.

Everything is on by default, and every item can be toggled at runtime (without reloading the page) from the Settings dialog — except the startup banner, which takes effect on the next restart (it is printed before the browser ever connects).

Installation

Via ComfyUI Manager

Search for "Hide API Templates" in ComfyUI Manager and install.

Manual

Clone this repository into your custom_nodes directory:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Chroma01/ComfyUI-Hide-API-Templates.git

Then restart ComfyUI.

Settings

The extension registers six boolean settings, in the same place other extensions put theirs: Settings → Other → ComfyUI-Hide-API-Templates. All default to true (hidden). Toggling one applies immediately, no reload needed (SuppressProductTips applies on the next ComfyUI restart).

Setting	Controls
HidePartnerTemplates	Partner (paid) workflow templates in the Templates menu
HidePartnerNodes	Partner nodes in the Node Library + create-node menu
HideSignInButton	The ComfyUI Cloud sign-in button in the top bar
HideUserSettings	The "User" (My Account) section in the Settings dialog
HideDeployToApi	The "Deploy to Comfy API" item in the workflow tab context menu
SuppressProductTips	The Comfy Org startup banner + /ascii-job hints in the server console

What Gets Hidden

Surface	How it's identified
Templates menu	Templates with openSource === false (partner / paid)
Node Library + create-node menu	Nodes whose category starts with partner/ (server partner API nodes) or comfy cloud/ (frontend Comfy Cloud nodes)
Sign-in button	The ComfyUI Cloud login control (data-testid="login-button")
User settings section	The hardcoded "User" nav item (data-nav-id="user") of the Settings dialog
Workflow tab context menu	The menu item whose text matches "Deploy to Comfy API" (role="menuitem", locale key contextMenu.deployToComfyApi)
Server console banner	Upstream app/product_tips.py, silenced via COMFYUI_DISABLE_PRODUCT_TIPS=1 set at import time

Official open-source ComfyUI templates and regular nodes are left untouched.

Offline-Aware (--offline)

The extension reads the server's --offline state (via the extension.hide_api_templates.offline_mode feature flag, set from the server arguments in __init__.py).

• Online (default): partner nodes are present, so the extension filters them out of the Node Library store and the create-node object_info.
• --offline: ComfyUI does not register the partner API nodes at all, so the extension skips the node filtering entirely (no redundant work). Templates, the sign-in button and the User section are still hidden in both modes, because --offline does not hide those on its own.

The active mode is logged on load:

[HideApiTemplates] active (offline_mode=True): hiding partner templates, partner nodes, the ComfyUI Cloud sign-in button, the User settings section, the 'Deploy to Comfy API' tab-menu item and the Comfy Org startup banner (all toggleable in Settings; the banner toggle takes effect on restart).
[HideApiTemplates] --offline active: partner nodes already absent, skipping node filtering.

How It Works

• Templates — hooks api.getCoreWorkflowTemplates and drops templates where openSource === false before they render (unless HidePartnerTemplates is off).
• Nodes (create-node menu) — hooks api.fetchApi so object_info responses have the partner node definitions removed.
• Nodes (Node Library) — the Node Library builds its category tree from the reactive Pinia nodeDef store (nodeDefsByName), which is populated at startup and is not refreshed from the filtered object_info. The extension removes the partner entries from that reactive store (backing them up first, so toggling HidePartnerNodes back on restores them), updating the library tree and search at the data level (no DOM churn).
• Sign-in button — sets the show_signin_button feature flag to false server-side (so the frontend renders the button hidden), plus a client-side guard that keeps it hidden when the setting is on.
• User settings section — "User" is a hardcoded nav item of the Settings dialog (not a registered setting), so it is hidden from the DOM via display: none while the setting is on.
• "Deploy to Comfy API" item — the workflow-tab context menu is a Vue component rebuilt on every right-click, so a MutationObserver catches the freshly inserted menu and hides any role="menuitem" whose text matches "Deploy to Comfy API" (the item ships with a "NEW" badge; both go away together).
• Startup banner — __init__.py reads SuppressProductTips from user/default/comfy.settings.json at import time (custom nodes are imported before the banner would be printed) and sets COMFYUI_DISABLE_PRODUCT_TIPS=1 — the switch upstream itself checks in app/product_tips.py. It also silences the one-off /ascii-job hints logged after finished jobs. A value the user exported manually is kept (setdefault), so COMFYUI_DISABLE_PRODUCT_TIPS=0 brings the tips back.
• Runtime toggling — the client subscribes to the reactive Pinia setting store, so flipping any setting in the dialog applies immediately (an interval fallback covers throttled/background tabs, and a MutationObserver re-applies the rules to freshly inserted elements).
