About

Conduit

Features
Read 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.
