About Flow-Like

Flow-Like is a developer platform for building and running application logic as typed workflows. A Flow is a single executable process whose graph is run by a Rust runtime, either on a developer's machine or on configured infrastructure. Logic sits next to the interfaces, data, packages, access rules and releases it belongs to, so a team can follow how a change was built and what it did.

Flows can be edited as FlowScript, a typed text form, or on a live node canvas, and edits in either view update the same underlying Board. Work is organized into Apps that bundle Flows with Events and Pages: an Event can expose a Flow as an API, schedule, chat, form, Page, REST endpoint or MCP server. Studio, a desktop application, handles editing, data inspection, local runs and tracing; a browser app and backend provide shared access and remote execution.

The repository's topics place it in the same space as n8n, Retool and Temporal, and it targets AI agent and LLM integration alongside conventional automation. It is described as source-available, with the license listed as Other, so review the terms before commercial use. It can be self-hosted, and an online trial and a downloadable Studio app are offered.
