Workflow Console

Read full description

Workflow Console is the companion app for n8n โ€” the powerful workflow automation platform. Monitor, edit, and execute your automations directly from your iOS device. Visual Workflow Canvas Edit workflows with a full drag-and-drop canvas. Add, move, connect, and configure nodes with an intuitive touch interface. Supports 263+ node types including AI nodes, with bezier-curve connections and snap-to-grid positioning. AI Assistant Get intelligent help powered by GPT-4o or Claude. Attach workflow context and let the assistant explain logic, debug execution errors, suggest configurations, and analyze HTTP requests โ€” all with real-time streaming responses. Home Screen Widgets Launch workflows, trigger webhooks, check server health, and open n8n chats or forms โ€” all without opening the app. The Dashboard widget gives you a live overview of server status, active workflows, and recent failures at a glance. Execution Monitoring Track workflow executions in real time. Inspect node-by-node run data, identify failure points, and review error payloads. Live Activities support keeps execution status visible on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. HTTP Call Builder Create, save, and execute webhook calls with full authentication support (Basic, API Key, Bearer, custom headers). Pin frequently used calls, export as curl commands, and trigger them from widgets or the Share Sheet. Chains Build multi-step sequences that combine workflows and HTTP calls into reusable automation chains. Execute them with a single tap. Multi-Server Support Connect to multiple n8n instances and switch between them seamlessly. Each server maintains its own credentials, workflows, and node catalog. Enterprise-Grade Security Protect access with Face ID or Touch ID. Configure per-action or per-session authentication. All credentials and API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain. Background Sync & Notifications Stay up to date with automatic background refresh. Receive alerts for execution successes and failures. Additional Features Full node parameter editor with schema-driven forms Credential management for n8n nodes Workflow and webhook search and filtering Workflow import/export (JSON) Share Sheet extension for triggering workflows from other apps Siri integration via App Intents Dark mode support Workflow Console Premium unlocks the AI Assistant and removes ads. A separate ad-removal option is also available. Requires an n8n account (self-hosted or n8n Cloud) to connect to. AI features require your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.

RECLAIM YOUR FOCUS. MASTER YOUR CONTENT. In an era of dopamine-driven algorithms and endless scrolling, our attention spans are under siege. FocusReader Pro is a digital sanctuary for the intentional reader. Whether you are managing ADHD symptoms, tackling a heavy professional workload, enjoying some casual reading, or catching up on the latest news, we provide the tools to help you think deeply again. WHY FOCUSREADER PRO? RSVP Speed Reading: Utilize research-backed Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) to display text word-by-word. This method minimizes disruptive eye movements (saccades), forcing your brain to stay locked into the material and significantly increasing your reading speed. Listen & Learn: Stuck in traffic or at the gym? Switch to standard Listen Mode, or try our unique Audio-RSVP Hybrid. Engagement leads to retention. By syncing RSVP with high-fidelity audio, you engage both visual and auditory neural pathways. By slightly sacrificing peak reading speed, this mode bridges the "comprehension gap" of traditional speed reading, making complex technical papers or long-form books much easier to absorb. Privacy-First Transcription (Experimental): Powered by Apple Intelligence, convert personal memos, meetings, or lectures into readable text right on your device. Local processing ensures your data stays entirely yours. AI-Enhanced Clarity: Our AI doesn't choose what you read; it optimizes how you see it. It intelligently filters out UI noise and organizes your imported library into a clean, searchable database. UNLEASH THE POWER OF "BYOK" (Bring Your Own Key) We provide the option to connect your own API keys (Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude) to unlock premium, cloud-based features: Natural Voice Synthesis: Replace standard system voices with ultra-realistic, human-like AI voices for a premium listening experience. YouTube Transcription: Paste a link and let AI transcribe entire videos into structured reading material instantly. In-App AI Creation: Generate summaries, explainers, or study guides directly from your reading list using the world's most powerful LLMs. (Note: You pay only for what you use, directly to your chosen AI provider. No hidden app subscriptions or markups.) FEATURES FOR THE POWER LEARNER: Distraction-Free Reading: Automatic removal of UI clutter, clickbait, and web "noise." Import Anything: Full support for PDFs, EPUBs, and Web URLs. Custom Pace: Speed read from 200 to 1,000+ words per minute at your comfort level. Smart Organization: Let AI help categorize and filter your imported materials into a pristine library. Retrain your brain, master complex subjects, and take back control of your attention.
