Flow Nodes vs Patchd

Flow Nodes is a visual programming app for building live graphics, video effects, 3D scenes, and custom interfaces — just connect nodes, no code required. Start from ready-made presets in Discover, follow built-in tutorials, or build from scratch. Combine image processing, video, animation, math, networking, and UI with realtime inputs like camera, microphone, motion sensors, body, hand and face tracking, MIDI, OSC, and NDI. Built for realtime creation. Nodes arrange themselves as you connect them. Search and add nodes quickly, edit properties in the inspector, animate with a keyframe timeline, and reuse flows inside other flows. Organize projects in folders, split the canvas into tabs and panes, and navigate with a mini-map and live previews. Import and export images (including HDR), video, and 3D assets, record any output to video, and AirPlay content over Wi-Fi or HDMI. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence helps you understand and edit flows: read node docs, review connections, and use chat to create, connect, and update nodes with natural language. Automate flows with Shortcuts. Node Features - AI nodes for image generation, Image Playground, and chat - Live video: camera, background removal, chroma key, and text detection - Body, hand, and face tracking - Video playback, frame sampling, and recording - Keyframe timeline with bezier curves - OSC, MIDI, NDI, and network requests for realtime control - 3D rendering of geometry, particle fields, and Gaussian splats - Cameras, lights, projectors, and 360° equirectangular and cube map tools - Vector and geometry tools: shapes, clones, extrude, lathe, and transforms - UI nodes: buttons, sliders, labels, text fields, grids, stacks, and overlays - JavaScript and Metal shader nodes for custom logic and effects - Sensors: motion, microphone, location, game controllers, and haptics - Data and state: typed values, lists, maps, math, time, and signals Some nodes require Pro Nodes access. Your flows sync across devices with iCloud. Privacy Policy https://flownodes.app/privacy-policy.html Terms of Use https://flownodes.app/terms-of-use.html

Patchd turns your camera, photos, and video clips into experimental visual media. Explore a growing collection of real-time mini-apps for live camera FX, depth, segmentation, object detection, masks, trails, glitches, pixels, and generative graphics. LIVE CAMERA MINI-APPS Transform camera input as it happens. Explore Blob Cam, Face Depth, Object Find, Pixx, ASCII Edge, Color Lift, DST Curl, Body Trail, Puzzle, Ink, Grid Delay, Pixelate, Motion Trail, Shadertation, and more. RE-PATCH ANY CLIP Import or record a short clip, choose an effect, preview the result, and render a new output. Use export presets for popular formats or keep the original frame size. PHOTO & COMPOSE Apply shader-style effects, masks, and overlays to still images. Build short visual sequences from multiple mini-apps with streamlined creative presets. MADE FOR FAST EXPLORATION Browse by category, search effects, watch preview videos, save favorites, and quickly return to recently used mini-apps. PRIVATE MEDIA WORKFLOW Camera frames, imported photos and videos, and rendered outputs are processed on your device and are not uploaded by Patchd. FEATURES • 40+ experimental camera and visual mini-apps • Real-time shader-style effects and creative presets • Re-Patch rendering for imported or recorded clips • Object detection, body segmentation, masks, depth, and trails • Photo editing and Compose sequence tools • Export presets for size, quality, format, and duration • Favorites, search, categories, and preview videos • On-device media processing Patchd is made for artists, VJs, designers, and anyone who wants to turn everyday camera input into experimental visual media.
