Skye DeskBeta

Public beta · macOS

From dataset to samples, in one Mac app.

Organise images, edit captions, set up training, plan generations and compare checkpoints — one project from start to finish.

Built for products, clothing, characters, styles and effects — with a preset and caption rules for each type (presets coming soon).

Dataset and caption tools work today. Training runs on a simulated backend during the beta.

How it works

Five stages, one project

01OrganiseAvailable
  1. ImportBring a folder of images into a LoRA project.Available
  2. FilterFilter and search by file name or caption.Available
  3. CheckFlag missing, empty and orphan captions.Available
  4. MarkSee which images will train and which still need work.Available
02CaptionAvailable
  1. Edit one by oneEdit each caption in text or tag mode; it saves as you type.Available
  2. Batch replaceFind and replace, or add a trigger word, across the whole set.Available
  3. Preview, apply, undoSee every change first; undo keeps captions you edited later.Available
  4. AI round tripExport for an external AI, review its drafts, import them back.Coming soon
03TrainDemo mode
  1. Choose a presetStart from a preset, then set steps, learning rate and resolution.Demo mode
  2. UploadPackage the dataset for the GPU provider.Demo mode
  3. LaunchStart the run with the time and cost estimate in view.Demo mode
  4. Live progressFollow the log, loss and step samples as they arrive.Demo mode

04GenerateAvailable
  1. Prompt per numberGive each image number its own prompt and negative prompt.Available
  2. Copy workflowCopy the project workflow, then generate externally in ComfyUI.Available
  3. Kept / Inbox sorted by image numberImport external results into the matching number’s Inbox. Unmatched filenames are skipped.Available
05CompareDemo mode
  1. Side by sideLine up samples from every saved step.Demo mode
  2. Blind testHide step numbers so they cannot sway you.Demo mode
  3. SelectThe blind-test winner is selected in the results table.Demo mode

01 / Organise

See every image, and what it's missing

Available

Images and captions side by side, with dataset checks built in.

  • Adjustable thumbnails, filters and search across names and captions
  • Checks flag missing, empty and orphan captions
  • Top tags show the share of images that carry each one

02 / Caption

Change captions with a safety net

Available

Every batch change is previewed file by file before anything is written.

  • Find and replace, trigger words and new captions in batches
  • Text or tag mode for single captions, saved as you type
  • Undo that respects your later edits

19 files will change. Apply when it looks right.19 files written. Undo is available.Undid 18 files; 1 was edited later and left alone.

03 / Train

Set up a run without leaving the app

Demo mode

Choose settings, start a run, then follow the log and step samples in one place.

  • Presets, steps, learning rate and save intervals on one page
  • Cost and time estimate before the run starts
  • Idle Pod reminder, so a GPU never bills for nothing

Coming during the beta: live GPU training. Supported base models will be listed once verified.

04 / Generate

Plan generations by image number

Available

Give each image number its own prompt, then generate in your ComfyUI.

  • Prompt and negative prompt per image number, with history
  • Kept / Inbox sorted by image number
  • Copy the project workflow, generate externally, then import results

Images are generated in your own ComfyUI; reference images are for comparison only.

Generate: image numbers, generation prompt, negative prompt, training caption, copy workflow and importGenerate: image numbers, generation prompt, negative prompt, training caption, copy workflow and import

Batch generation with your own ComfyUI workflow

  1. Export your workflow. In ComfyUI, export the workflow you want as JSON.Available
  2. Add it to the Library. Put the JSON in Skye Desk’s Library › Workflows and attach it to the project.Available
  3. Write prompts per image. On Generate, give each image number a prompt and a negative prompt.Available
  4. Fill the workflow. Skye Desk writes each number’s prompts into the workflow for you.Coming soon
  5. Run in ComfyUI. Copy the project workflow, then run it in your external ComfyUI.Available
  6. Batch submit. One click sends every number to your local ComfyUI.Coming soon
  7. Bring results back. Import external results; matching filenames go into the existing image number’s Inbox.Available
  8. Sort by image number. Names such as 01.png and 01_anything.png go to number 01. Unmatched files are skipped; no new numbers are created.Available

ComfyUI is optional and external. Generate does not call it: copy the workflow, generate externally, then import the results.

05 / Compare

Pick the best checkpoint by eye

Demo mode

Samples from every saved step side by side, then one version to keep.

  • One sample grid per run, step by step
  • Blind tests hide step numbers so they cannot sway you
  • The blind-test winner is selected in the results table
Simulated samples from steps 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400Simulated samples from steps 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400

Review → Refine → Repeat. Spot a weak checkpoint, fix the images or captions, run again.

Library

Reference boards that never leak into training

Available

Models, recipes, Comfy workflows, a training archive and reference boards.

  • Reference boards never enter a training set
  • Training archive keeps LoRA versions and generation records
  • Workflow templates ready to copy into a project
