Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/desktop/issues/1146

Frontend Version

ComfyUI creates its own menubar at the top of the window in a non-standard way.

Expected Behavior

The Workflow menu should move into the File menu and the Edit and Help menu items should move into those menus at the top of the menu bar. This saves space and makes the items more discoverable and usable.

Actual Behavior

Workflow, Edit, and Help don't even look like menus.

Steps to Reproduce

Install and run ComfyUI on a Mac

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

No response

Other Information

It's possible this applies on Windows as well, but I don't know what the desktop app looks like there or where Windows users expect to find menu bars.

Hi, @elharo. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary

You requested a more native macOS menu-bar experience for the ComfyUI desktop app.
The main ask was to move Workflow under File and place Edit and Help into the standard top-level menus to better match Mac conventions.
The thread shows repeated stale-bot comments, and you confirmed the issue is still relevant.
No maintainer response or implementation progress is visible in the discussion so far.

Next Steps

If this is still relevant on the latest version of the desktop repository, please comment to keep the discussion open.
Otherwise, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution.
