Flowroid: Automation & Macros

Your alarm goes off at 6:30 and the phone is already silent, screen dimmed, podcast cued up.

You reach the office. Wi-Fi connects, Bluetooth switches on for your headset, the screen stops sleeping.

Battery drops under 15%. Brightness falls, Bluetooth cuts out, and your phone tells you out loud.

You built each of those once. Your phone handles them from then on.


HOW IT WORKS

A flow is one sentence: when this happens, if these things are true, do that.

"When a calendar event starts — if it's a weekday — set the ringer to silent and drop the volume to zero."

Pick a trigger, add conditions, choose the actions. Most take under a minute — or install a ready-made template and tweak it.


TWO WAYS TO BUILD ONE

Drag triggers, logic and actions onto a canvas and wire them together. Pass data between steps with {{expressions}} — the text of the notification that fired, the response from the last HTTP call, a variable you saved last week. Branches, loops, delays, math and sub-flows are built in.

Or describe what you want in plain English and let AI draft the flow onto the canvas. You approve every step before anything saves.


YOUR PHONE, WITH AN API

No other automation app does this. Flowroid runs an authenticated HTTP server on the phone itself, so n8n, Make, Node-RED, Home Assistant or a shell script can fire flows, read device state and set variables over your network.

Off by default, bound to localhost until you enable LAN access.


32 TRIGGERS

• Schedules, boot, alarms, calendar events
• Notifications from any app, filtered by title or text
• Battery level, charging state, charger type, temperature
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, network type, airplane mode, VPN, hotspot
• Geofence enter and exit
• Sensors: activity, proximity, light, step count, pickup
• Screen on/off, headset, NFC, Do Not Disturb, media buttons
• App in foreground, phone-call state, clipboard changes
• Incoming webhooks, and chat messages to your assistant


45 ACTIONS

• Post and cancel notifications, set the clipboard, fire Android intents
• Volume, ringer, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, screen, brightness, timeout, flashlight, vibrate, auto-rotate, dark mode, keep-awake
• Play audio, speak text aloud, control media, launch or stop apps
• HTTP and HTTPS requests with headers, body and retry
• Files: read, write, copy, move, delete, list
• Logic: delays, variables, if/else, loops, sub-flows, math, string and array operations

Three variable scopes — global, flow-local, and secret ones encrypted with the Android Keystore. 27+ condition operators (equals, contains, regex, ranges, time, day-of-week) with AND/OR grouping.


BRING YOUR OWN AI KEY

Connect Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — including a model on your own machine. Your key is encrypted on-device and never leaves it. No AI subscription, nothing metered. Don't want AI? Don't add a key.


WHAT IT WON'T DO

Flowroid has no accessibility service, so it can't tap buttons or read the screen inside other apps. It automates the phone itself, not arbitrary UI in someone else's app. It doesn't read or send SMS. A few actions depend on your manufacturer's Android build, and the app says so upfront.

Better you know now than after you've paid.


PRIVACY

• Flows, variables and logs stay on the device. No account, no ads, no tracking
• Automations keep running with no internet at all
• We contact our licence server only to check trial or purchase status
• API access is key-authenticated and scoped; outbound requests carry an SSRF blocklist


PRICING

14 days free — the whole app, nothing held back, no payment details asked for. After that, one purchase unlocks it permanently. No subscription, no tiers, no ads.


REQUIREMENTS

Android 8.0 or newer. Permissions are requested only when a flow needs them, with the reason shown — location for geofences, notification access for notification triggers. AI needs a key from a provider you choose.
