Flow-Like: Your Next Generation Typed Workflow OS.

Any flow you like.

🚀 With Typed Workflows, Flow-Like is ready for projects of any size.

🔀 Flow-Like is an enterprise-grade workflow operating system.

✨ It comes with a modular frontend for apps, a rich set of events, a node catalog, a powerful no-code workflow IDE, and an extensive suite to manage teams, templates and projects within your organization.

🤖 Flow-Like lives in a seamless, unopinionated integration of LLM, ML-based, and deterministic decision making instances to automate any process.

⚡️ We build Flow-Like upon Rust 🦀 for uncompromising performance, efficiency and code safety.

🤝 It is Open Source.

Typed Workflows 📑

In Flow-Like, workflows are fully typed — they don’t just describe what happens, but also what data flows where. 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 ⬇️ and run the latest stable build of our standalone desktop app, or
• Skip the setup and try our hosted version in the cloud ☁️ (to be available soon), or
• Build the desktop app 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:

Studio

Our innovative, no-code workflow builder IDE. Connect, collapse, and annotate. Get automated predictions for matching nodes. Trace execution logs and triggering events:

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 📄.

Templates

Reuse and share your workflows as templates:

AI Models

Download and run LLMs, VLMs, Deep Learning Models, and Embeddings locally or in the cloud. Boost your workflows with intelligent nodes:

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.
