Fooocus

lllyasviel

The Midjourney-like local UI on Stable Diffusion: off-screen sampling, sensible defaults, almost no sliders — Comfy power with a prompt box, if you bring the GPU.

Product preview

Overview

Fooocus is lllyasviel's argument that SD did not need fifty sliders: hide the craft, keep the quality, look like Midjourney, run on the GPU you own. Invoke is the studio; Automatic1111 is the lab; Fooocus is the prompt box that still uses the same weights.

You will install Python and a model. There is no company behind a SLA. For personal local pretty pictures it is one of the highest-leverage UIs ever shipped; for a team that needs seats and support, it is a GitHub repo.
