Read full descriptionHide full description
Conduit is a lightweight URL routing utility for people who build workflows across apps. Send data into Conduit with a custom conduit:// URL, capture the incoming parameters, then reuse those values in outbound routes to other apps. It is designed for app launchers, Shortcuts users, automation workflows, and anyone who works with custom URL schemes. Create routes with reusable parameter mappings, preview the generated outbound URL, and open the target app when you are ready. Add route names to incoming links to trigger saved routes automatically, and use callbacks to track successful or failed handoffs where supported. Features: • Capture incoming conduit:// URLs and inspect their parameters • Build outbound routes for custom URL schemes • Map incoming values into route parameters with templates • Preview generated URLs before opening target apps • Auto-trigger saved routes with route names • Store recent payloads for testing and reuse • Import and export route definitions as JSON • Support callback URLs for route results Conduit does not require an account and is designed to stay focused: receive data, transform it, and pass it on.
