Compared to tools like *n8n*, Flow-Like explicitly shows: * **Data origins** – e.g., where the email being sent is coming from. * **Transformations** – every step where data is validated, enriched, or reformatted. * **Contracts** – clear input/output definitions for each node, preventing runtime surprises. This typing system is essential for **complex, large-scale workflows** where correctness, maintainability, and scalability matter. You can quickly inspect a flow and understand *both* the logic path *and* the underlying data movement. ## Quick Start 🚀 Try and use Flow-Like: - [Download ⬇️](https://github.com/TM9657/flow-like/releases) and run the latest stable build of our standalone desktop app, *or* - Skip the setup and [try our hosted version in the cloud ☁️](https://flow-like.com/) (to be available soon), *or* - [Build the desktop app from source ⚙️](#build-from-source) (see instructions below). ## Flow-Like’s Ecosystem 🌐 ### Apps Manage your workflows and storages with apps that you can share with others. Create apps offline, online, run them locally or in the cloud: <p align="center"><img width="800" src="https://cdn.flow-like.com/website/CreateApp.webp" alt="Create a Flow-Like App"></p> ### Studio Our innovative, no-code workflow builder IDE. Connect, collapse, and annotate. Get automated predictions for matching nodes. Trace execution logs and triggering events: <p align="center"><img width="800" src="./assets/recording.gif" alt="Recording"></p> ### Node Catalog - Build your workflows from a rich set of execution nodes - from branching, databases to object detection and higher-order agent nodes. - Link your application to frontends, backends, and third party apps, for example to chat interfaces or incoming mails. - Check out the full catalog in our [docs 📄](https://docs.flow-like.com/). ### Templates Reuse and share your workflows as templates: <p align="center"><img width="800" src="https://cdn.flow-like.com/website/Store.webp" alt="Browse Public Apps in the Store"></p> ### AI Models Download and run LLMs, VLMs, Deep Learning Models, and Embeddings locally or in the cloud. Boost your workflows with intelligent nodes: <p align="center"><img width="800" src="https://cdn.flow-like.com/website/SelectYourModel.webp" alt="Select AI Models from the Model Catalog"></p> ## Why Use Flow-Like? 💡 Flow-Like helps *developers and individuals* to efficiently craft highly individualized workflow automations: - Choose from a wide node and event catalog for different computational tasks and triggers - Efficiently synthesize automations via standardized interfaces, data objects using a powerful builder interface - Share and copy workflows as templates and projects to streamline collaboration. - Contribute project or enterprise specific nodes and events to the core catalog Flow-Like helps *business responsibles* to express application logic in a natural way: - Build workflows without coding. Flows act both as documentation and execution. - Collapse lower-level flows into meaningful hierarchical abstractions. - Fine-grained access controls for teams and projects. Flow-Like helps *IT* to manage and operate application stacks: - Bring your applications to a unified set of nodes that eases operations, incidence management, governance, and compliance. - Transition seamlessly from Proof-of-Concepts to productive, production-ready applications - Run your applications efficiently thanks to Rust’s performance guarantees - Built-in version control ## Process Orchestration 🎛️ Flow-Like goes beyond simple task automation — it’s built for **end-to-end process orchestration**. With our **Layer Drill Down** capability, you can: * Show high-level business processes for stakeholders. * Seamlessly reveal the detailed **technical implementation** just one layer below. * Manage **cross-team** and **cross-system** workflows without losing visibility or control. This makes Flow-Like ideal for organizations that need to keep **business logic** and **technical execution** aligned, from strategy to deployment. ## Build From Source ⚙️ For the latest features, you can build the standalone desktop app yourself: 1.
