Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Fooocus.
RuinedFooocus
Fork of Fooocus that keeps prompt-first image generation but adds back more control.

Easy Diffusion
One-click installer and web interface for running Stable Diffusion on your own machine.
Easy Diffusion is an MIT licensed one-click installer with a web interface that also hides most tuning knobs, on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Stable Diffusion web UI
Generate and edit images using a local Stable Diffusion interface.
Stable Diffusion web UI is AGPL-3.0 and exposes configurable generation settings, inpainting and outpainting, but requires Python and model setup.
InvokeAI
A professional web interface for Stable Diffusion models, with a node-based workflow editor and a unified canvas.
InvokeAI is Apache licensed with a unified canvas and node workflow editor, giving the fine control Fooocus lacks at the cost of a learning curve.
ComfyUI
Construct AI generation workflows with a visual node graph.
ComfyUI is a GPL-3.0 node graph tool where you connect models and steps yourself, offering full control rather than automatic tuning.
Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge
Generate images with a Stable Diffusion web interface.
Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge is an AGPL-3.0 web interface with resource-management options and experimental features, exposing settings Fooocus hides.
SD.Next
Generate and refine images through a locally hosted AI interface.
SD.Next is an Apache-2.0 locally hosted interface supporting multiple model families and image-processing workflows with more manual configuration.
