Read full description

Workflow Console is the companion app for n8n β€” 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 β€” all with real-time streaming responses. Home Screen Widgets Launch workflows, trigger webhooks, check server health, and open n8n chats or forms β€” 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.

Your phone fills up one small download at a time. The parking app from a city you left. The airline from one trip. The game you stopped playing. Fewer Apps helps you see what you still use and make a clear decision about everything else. Fewer Apps uses Apple Screen Time, with your permission, to sort the apps you select into three simple groups: untouched, barely used, and earning their place. You get 30 days of evidence instead of a guess. REVIEW (free) - Choose the apps and categories you want to review. - See how many were untouched in the last 30 days. - Compare time used, days used, latest activity, and notifications. REMOVE (free) Review focused recommendations and follow the exact iPhone steps to delete an app. You make every deletion yourself. Fewer Apps never removes another app. HIBERNATION (one-time unlock) Not ready to delete something? Put it into Hibernation first. The app stays installed and in place, but opening it shows a deliberate choice: Let it sleep or Wake it. Fewer Apps safely applies large selections in groups of 50. After 14 uninterrupted days without an opening attempt, the app becomes Ready to Remove. An opening attempt or Keep hibernating restarts that 14-day clock. Nothing is deleted automatically, and you can wake an app at any time. HISTORY (one-time unlock) See what you hibernated, woke, and removed, with dates and running totals. The history stays on your phone. PAY ONCE. FEWER APPS FOREVER. One purchase unlocks Hibernation and History for good. No subscription. Review and Remove stay free. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE All usage analysis happens on-device inside Apple's Screen Time sandbox. Fewer Apps has no analytics or account service, and its code sends no usage data anywhere. Fewer Apps collects nothing, tracks nothing, and shows no ads. Fewer Apps requires iOS 17 and Screen Time permission, which you grant on-device. Deleting apps on iOS is always done by you; Fewer Apps shows the way and keeps the score.
