Watchflows brings AI automation to macOS

Watchflows is a local-first macOS workflow builder that combines visual triggers, conditions, actions, and AI nodes. Its Flow Builder turns plain-English requests into automations for files, apps, webhooks, schedules, and more.

// ANALYSIS

Watchflows makes a strong case for desktop-native automation by putting AI inside inspectable workflows instead of hiding it behind a chatbot.

–Runs locally with Apple Intelligence, Ollama, LM Studio, or cloud providers
–Supports 80 nodes for files, Apple apps, scripts, databases, webhooks, and Linear
–Plain-English flow generation lowers the barrier without removing manual control
–One-time $49 pricing and no account challenge subscription-heavy automation platforms
–Its biggest constraint is the macOS-only audience and reliance on the app running for triggers
