Workflow

In plain words

Workflow is an automation app for iPhone and iPad that lets users create sequences of actions to streamline repetitive daily tasks. It enables building custom automation routines that can connect different apps and functions on iOS devices. The app is designed for people looking to increase productivity by reducing manual, repetitive work. It works across iPhone, iPad, and wearables, making it useful for those who want to automate common workflows directly on their mobile devices without coding knowledge.

This app is far more than what meets the eye at first. I don't understand why anyone would give this a 3 star rating or lower unless they just hadn't seen the extent of its features yet or weren't into programming small little scripts that basically don't require any coding knowledge at all to do. You can do so much with this app and I feel that too much of it goes way too unnoticed!! I personally enjoy using it for fun little projects like creating a mastermind game using shortcut menus and if-then scripts and stuffs, but it has a ton of practical use as well for the average person. And yeah, I understand that there are some bugs every now and then like really big shortcuts freezing up or…from apps.apple.com

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
