flow-like

What it does

Build automations by connecting blocks and run them on your laptop, server or phone rather than on someone else's platform, with a traceable record of where data went - the appeal being processes you would rather not hand to a cloud service. Note that any external API or AI step you add does send data out; local execution covers the orchestration, not everything it connects to. Run new flows manually once before letting them repeat.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

flow-like FAQ

Is flow-like free?

flow-like itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use flow-like?

You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.

Does flow-like work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use flow-like commercially?

The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.

How it compares

The conditions that decide whether you can actually use it, side by side.

"Sends data out" means your input is uploaded to someone's server. Pick "No" when the material cannot leave your organisation.
