# ComfyUI Node Usage Stats
A ComfyUI custom node package that silently tracks which nodes and packages you actually use. Helps identify unused packages that are safe to remove — keeping your ComfyUI install lean.
## Features
- **Silent tracking** — hooks into every prompt submission, zero config needed
- **Per-package classification** — packages are sorted into tiers based on usage recency
- **Smart aging** — packages gradually move from "recently unused" to "safe to remove" over time
- **Uninstall detection** — removed packages are flagged separately, historical data preserved
- **Expandable detail** — click any package to see individual node-level stats
- **Non-blocking** — DB writes happen in a background thread, no impact on workflow execution
## Package Classification
Packages are classified into tiers based on when they were last used:
Used |
Actively used within the last month |
Recently Unused |
Not used yet, but tracking started less than a month ago — too early to judge |
Consider Removing |
Unused for 1–2 months — worth reviewing |
Safe to Remove |
Unused for 2+ months — confident removal candidate |
Uninstalled |
Previously tracked but no longer installed — shown for reference |
## Installation
```bash
cd /path/to/ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/ethanfel/Comfyui-Nodes-Stats.git
```
Restart ComfyUI. Tracking starts immediately and silently.
## Usage
### UI
Click the **Node Stats** button (bar chart icon) in the ComfyUI top menu bar. A dialog shows:
- **Summary bar** with counts for each classification tier
- **Sections** for each tier, sorted from most actionable to least
- **Expandable rows** — click any package to see per-node execution counts and timestamps
### API
| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `/nodes-stats/packages` | GET | Per-package aggregated stats with classification |
| `/nodes-stats/usage` | GET | Raw per-node usage data |
| `/nodes-stats/reset` | POST | Clear all tracked data |
```bash
curl http://localhost:8188/nodes-stats/packages | python3 -m json.tool
```

```
1. Registers a prompt handler via `PromptServer.instance.add_on_prompt_handler()`
2. On every prompt submission, extracts `class_type` from each node in the workflow
3. Offloads recording to a background thread (non-blocking)
4. Maps each class_type to its source package using `RELATIVE_PYTHON_MODULE`
5. Upserts per-node counts and timestamps into SQLite
6. On stats request, merges DB data with current node registry and classifies by recency
## Data Storage
All data is stored in `usage_stats.db` in the package directory.
| Table | Contents |
|-------|----------|
| `node_usage` | Per-node: class_type, package, execution count, first/last seen |
| `prompt_log` | Per-prompt: timestamp, JSON array of all class_types used |
Use `POST /nodes-stats/reset` to clear all data and start fresh.
