Local-first workflow automation

Mac automation software
that runs on your machine.

FlowForge turns schedules, incoming email, webhooks, folder changes, and data events into workflows that run locally on macOS—with no cloud automation server in the middle.

Built for macOS

Automate recurring work without surrendering the workflow

FlowForge keeps workflow definitions, credentials, and run history on your Mac. Network access happens only when a step you configure needs it.

Triggers that start themselves

Run on a schedule, watch an IMAP inbox, receive a webhook, monitor a folder, or react to new records.

Actions for real work

Call APIs, save records, create tasks, send notifications, draft with AI, or pause for human approval.

Background execution

Enabled workflows continue from the FlowForge menu-bar app even when the main window is closed.

Local run history

Inspect what ran and where a step succeeded or failed without sending workflow history to a hosted dashboard.

Credential protection

Connection secrets are stored through the macOS Keychain rather than embedded in workflow files.

Versioned workflows

FlowForge snapshots workflow versions so changes can be reviewed and earlier versions restored.

Common Mac automations

Start with work you already repeat

Email triage

Watch an inbox, classify a message, save a record, and notify the right person.

File processing

React when a file reaches a folder, extract information, call an API, and record the result.

Scheduled operations

Run recurring checks and reminders locally on a schedule you control.
