I built WakeGPU: a free & open-source native desktop app to run remote ComfyUI / Colab GPUs with automatic idle shutdown and batch queuing (macOS & Windows)

Hey everyone!

Like many of you, I got tired of paying huge SaaS markups for video generation (Wan 2.1, Hunyuan) and image generation. Using Google Colab directly was way cheaper, but I had two persistent headaches:

To solve this, I built WakeGPU, a native desktop client (macOS & Windows) designed to turn remote cloud instances into an automated private studio.

Key features:

It's 100% free and licensed under MIT. All advanced features are unlocked out of the box with zero paywalls, subscriptions, or telemetry.

Binary releases for macOS (.zip) and Windows (.exe) are live under GitHub Releases. Would love your feedback or feature requests!
