What it does
Installs and manages the front-ends people actually use for Stable Diffusion - A1111, ComfyUI, SD.Next and others - so you skip the environment setup that stops most people. It also organises your models in one place. Builds are available for Windows x64, Linux and Apple Silicon Macs. It is a manager rather than a generator: you still choose an interface and download models, which run to several gigabytes.

StabilityMatrix FAQ
- Is StabilityMatrix free?
- Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use StabilityMatrix?
- You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
- Does StabilityMatrix work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use StabilityMatrix commercially?
- The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
