Used to be ok - now won’t install

The app was ok, pretty intermittent as to if it would run the script according to the conditions, but concentrating to an 18 pro max I cannot even install the app now.

Automated workflows meets Web development

You can build classic workflow automations where a script asks you for some input and then does something smart for you, including interacting with files and the clipboard, but you can also essentially build a Web app inside Scriptable, so your scripts can accomplish almost anything.
