Watchflows

Watchflows runs your repetitive Mac chores the moment something happens. Key features: • Triggers for new files landing in Downloads, hotkey presses, incoming webhooks, and set times like 8:30 on weekdays • Visual canvas for wiring triggers, conditions, and actions together • Plain-English Flow Builder that assembles a flow from a written description • Language model nodes that read, rename, and make decisions mid-flow • Local-first design with no account required • Choice of on-device Apple model, Ollama, Claude, ChatGPT, or your own keys Instead of renaming screenshots, sorting downloads, or summarizing PDFs by hand, you describe the chore once and let Watchflows handle it every time the trigger fires. Each node on the canvas explains itself, so you can see exactly what a flow does and change any step by hand. Flows run on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded unless you choose a cloud option. Watchflows is a one-time purchase at $49 with every v1 update included, and it is also available through Setapp. A 14-day free trial lets you build and test flows before you pay, with no signup and no card required. It requires macOS 14 or later. Perfect for Mac power users, freelancers, researchers, and anyone who relies on Hazel, Shortcuts, or AppleScript but wants a visual builder without writing code. Use it to organize files, clean up the Desktop, process screenshots, and trigger routine tasks from webhooks or hotkeys.
