Unofficial client. WorkflowHub is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by n8n GmbH. You need your own n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud) and an API key, or you can try the built-in demo. Know in one glance whether your automations are fine. WorkflowHub connects straight to your n8n server and tells you what failed, why, and what usually fixes it, so you can act from your phone. NOW - One verdict for the whole instance: all running, or how many workflows fail - Open incidents grouped by workflow, with the last 24 hours at a glance - What is running right now and how long it usually takes FIX IT FROM HERE - Every incident shows the failing node, its error message and what usually fixes it - Retry a failed execution or stop one that is running - Unpublish a failing workflow or stop all of its running executions, always after a confirmation, and publish it again to undo - Mute a noisy workflow for an hour or until you unmute it - Copy or share the error to paste it wherever you need EXECUTIONS AND WORKFLOWS - Filter executions: failed, running, waiting or all - Step through the path of each execution, node by node, with its data - Published, unpublished and archived workflows with their recent health - Publish, unpublish or archive, review a pending draft and browse version history STATISTICS AND PERFORMANCE - Statistics for 24 hours, 7 or 30 days: executions, failure rate, runs per day, average and p95 duration, and a ranking of workflows - Time saved, from the minutes each workflow saves you - Performance for each workflow: runs per day, duration of every execution, slowest runs and how each version behaves - Share a weekly summary as an image MORE - Server monitor: /healthz latency and outages - Notifications for new failures, resolved incidents and server outages, with quiet hours. Retry or mute for 1 h right from the notification - With the app closed, iOS decides when WorkflowHub checks in the background: it can take a while and it is not real time - Data tables: browse rows, edit and add them with a preview first - Credentials: list them and test them - Search across workflows and executions - Several instances (production, staging, clients) with their status, and All instances: one verdict and every incident across them BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD - iPad layout with sidebar - Light and dark mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver - English and Spanish PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account, no analytics, no tracking - Direct HTTPS connection from your device to your server - API keys stored only in the iOS Keychain Requirements: iOS 26 or later and an n8n server with the public API enabled. Some features depend on your n8n version, plan and API key scopes (for example Insights, version history or data tables); WorkflowHub tells you when your server does not offer something. n8n is a trademark of n8n GmbH, used here only to describe compatibility.
