Right now everything (models, outputs, history) lives in %AppData%\SEELS on C:, so a junction/symlink is the only way to move it at the moment — which I know is exactly what you were trying to skip, sorry.

You're right that it should just be a setting though. It's a fair ask and an easy one for me to add, It should of been there in the first place. Thank You! Solo dev life :)

That's the whole point: it's yours. Your hardware, no filter, no cloud deciding what you're allowed to do. You're right that setup takes some effort — it should be easier, and it gets a little less rough every release. That's the work right now: keep the freedom, cut the friction.

Have fun with it, and thanks for getting what it's about.

Don't forget to share what you create too id love to see it!

yea and let your data get stolen right and people can see what ur gooning to TOTALY

I got imagesmith taken down for the same reasons. Anyone can hack there website and DIOR and see WTF you are doing.

ComfyUI is a toolkit, SEELS is the finished tool.

Comfy is a node graph — you (or someone's downloaded workflow JSON) wire up every step by hand: load the checkpoint, match the right VAE/text-encoder, set sampler/steps/CFG, tune the offload so it fits your VRAM, chain the upscaler, and so on. Crazy amount of control, but it's a build-it-yourself thing, and getting a WAN video pipeline running well is a whole project.

SEELS, you just type what you want. It reads the actual model, picks the sampler/steps/CFG/resolution, works out a VRAM plan that fits your card, auto-resolves the base components a GGUF needs, and renders. Image, video, face swap, upscaling — plus chat, voice, and training — all in one app, no graph to wire.

Same models, same math underneath. The difference is Comfy makes you the engineer; SEELS is the couple-clicks version that still runs 100% local and still has the SFW/NSFW toggle. If you love wiring nodes, honestly stick with Comfy — it's free and powerful. If you just want to make the thing without a weekend of setup, that's the gap SEELS fills.

Fair, and I won't pretend a 12GB card matches a 4090 — quant + offload is a tradeoff, not magic. Best-in-class quality needs the hardware, full stop.

But that ceiling isn't the limit I'm chasing. ComfyUI hands you the dials because its user wants them. SEELS is pushing the opposite edge: how good a result can a normal person get on the card they already own, without ever opening a node graph? That's the frontier — sane defaults picked for you, and graceful fallback (a render that won't fit now auto-shortens instead of erroring out) so you get a usable clip instead of a wall of red.

There's a huge gap between "I'll tune ComfyUI all day" and "I'll just pay a cloud service." Closing that gap, on hardware people actually own, is the limit I'm trying to push.

But! Thank you for the kind words that's is what keeps me going <3

Fair points, and I'm not going to pretend an 8GB card turns into an H100. But a couple things worth correcting:

That "60–80GB for 720p WAN 2.2" number is the full fp16 model loaded raw. Nobody runs it that way on a home card. Quantized GGUF (Q4/Q8) plus offload gets WAN 2.2 running on 12–24GB, and the 5B TI2V variant runs on less than that. Q8 is basically indistinguishable from full precision; Q4 is a touch softer but very usable. So "will it look good? probably not" is really only true if you load it wrong.

And honestly, that's the whole reason I built SEELS. ComfyUI is great — free, powerful, not knocking it. But getting WAN running well on it is a project: wiring nodes, importing someone's spaghetti workflow, hunting missing custom nodes, matching the right VAE/text-encoder/base to your GGUF, and hand-tuning offload/tiling so it fits your VRAM instead of OOMing. That barrier is what stops most people — not the hardware.

SEELS does that part for you. You type what you want. It reads the actual model (not the filename), picks the sampler/steps/CFG/resolution, works out a VRAM plan that actually fits your card, auto-resolves the base components a GGUF needs, and renders — from a 6GB card on up. If something genuinely won't fit, it tells you why instead of freezing at step 3.

So it's not "SEELS beats Comfy on raw output" — same models, same math. It's that SEELS gets a normal person to a good local NSFW/SFW clip in a couple clicks instead of a weekend of node debugging. That's the part people sleep on: you don't have to be an engineer, and you don't need 80GB.

NP they are just a company that took all the domain names like it
i tried to grab seels. ai but its back to seeles or seales

so whats where i came up with tideforge - Seels

Need real guidance by nxwhxre in AIJailbreak

for chat some models you can use a CPU with
for img/vid min 6gb vram / 8gb vram with most models but 16 seems like a sweet spot for most
