DT JSON Helper – Organize your JSON files
The missing tool for Draw Things users
FAQ | Screenshots | Download
DT JSON Helper is a macOS tool for managing JSON files from Draw Things. The app allows you to:
- Reorder: Organize entries via drag & drop in your desired order to keep your Draw Things menus neatly sorted
- Rename: Quickly and easily rename entries
- Show Details: View the complete JSON code of individual entries
- Delete: Remove entries you no longer need
- Cleanup: Find and remove entries that reference files that no longer exist. It can happen that JSON entries are still present even though the associated files (e.g., LoRAs, ControlNets) have already been deleted. The cleanup function automatically detects these orphaned entries.
Supported files: custom_lora.json, custom_configs.json, custom_prompt_style.json, custom_controlnet.json, and other Draw Things JSON files.
Important: Use this app at your own risk. Always work with copies of your JSON files to avoid accidental data loss. Close Draw Things before saving to prevent conflicts.
