AnimaForgeFree, local, one-click LoRA trainer built only for Anima. Point it at a folder. Name it. Forge.Training a LoRA shouldn't mean an evening lost in Kohya's wall of knobs. AnimaForge is a free Windows app that does the whole run from one screen: pick your image folder, name the LoRA, hit Train. It auto-captions (WD14 tags + JoyCaption descriptions), calculates sane step counts for your dataset size, and trains with settings hand-tuned for one model — Anima. That focus is the whole point.You watch it learn. Preview images render every epoch while training runs. Flip on Compare epochs to see them side by side, spot the earliest epoch that already nails your character, and stop right there — no over-training guesswork, no re-runs. Stopped too soon or crashed? Resume from the last checkpoint.It has opinions, so you don't need any. Pick a preset — Person, Object / Concept, or Style — and the subject handling, optimizer, network size, and step budget are set. Power users can save their own presets, switch optimizers (Prodigy auto-LR or classic AdamW8bit), and preview the exact training config before launch. Guard rails catch the classics before they burn a run: empty captions (one-click fix), low VRAM, even duplicate images hiding in your dataset.It finishes the job. One click copies the trained LoRA into your Forge or ComfyUI models folder — with the trigger word baked into the filename, so anyone you share it with knows exactly what to type. A batch queue runs multiple LoRAs unattended and survives a restart.Runs on your machine. Your images, captions, and LoRAs never leave your computer. No subscriptions, no queues, no uploads.WHAT'S NEW — v1.9• Training presets: one-click intents (Person / Object / Style) + save your own in Setup• Compare epochs: side-by-side previews per epoch — stop at the earliest best• Deliver to ComfyUI + trigger word in the delivered filename• Duplicate catcher: same-name images flagged in the gallery, one-click delete• Cleaner, more readable UI (proper CJK support), accurate speed/ETA dials, RTX 50-series readyFull history: github.com/SillySilk/AnimaForgeWHAT YOU'LL NEED• Windows + NVIDIA GPU (CUDA) — includes RTX 50-series.
