Try it free. Then buy it once, or subscribe.

No. The $49 one-time purchase is the complete app, forever, and it includes public webhooks — bring your own AI keys or local models and never pay again. If you want our AI, buy a Spark pack when you need one. Subscribing to Watchflows Cloud is for people who want the app and a monthly supply of Sparks for one price.

The full app with all current features, all updates released for v1, the complete node library, and public webhooks through hooks.watchflows.app. AI nodes work with your own providers (bring your own key, or run local models). Watchflows AI is there too, through the free Sparks and Spark packs.

A free way to try Watchflows AI. When you first open the app (or later, in Settings → Cloud), give your email and click the sign-in link we send. There’s no password and no card. You get 2,000 Sparks, good for 30 days, once per person and once per Mac — about 8 flows built by AI, or about 2,000 AI steps. They run the good-value models; premium models such as Claude Opus and GPT-5.5 come with Sparks you buy. We use your email for the sign-in link, your receipts, and one reminder before your trial ends — no newsletter. Prefer your own AI, or no AI? Choose that instead and you never need an account.

Your flows keep running. Only the steps that use Watchflows AI pause. To pick up again, buy a Spark pack, subscribe to Watchflows Cloud, or switch those steps to your own AI. We never buy more Sparks for you without asking.

Nothing, unless you change it. Cloud Pro and the Owner Bundle are no longer offered to new subscribers, but yours keeps working as it does today until you cancel or switch. If you own the app, public webhooks are now included with your license, and you can buy Spark packs without a subscription.

You keep everything you paid for: the subscription stays active until the end of the period you've paid, then cloud services switch off. Your flows and data never leave your Mac, so nothing is lost. If you own a license, the app keeps working exactly as before. On a Watchflows Cloud plan without a license, the app pauses automation until you resubscribe or buy a license — your flows stay intact. Spark packs you bought are still yours. Cancel anytime from the manage page or in the app.

Yes, on every plan. Watchflows supports Ollama (local), LM Studio, Apple Intelligence (on-device), OpenAI, Anthropic, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Apple Intelligence is zero-config on Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence turned on. If you configure your own provider it always takes priority — Sparks are only spent when hosted AI does the work.

Watchflows uses Sparkle for automatic in-app updates. You'll be notified when a new version is available. All v1.x updates are free for life for license owners, and always included while a subscription is active.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, including macOS 27 Golden Gate. Watchflows uses modern macOS APIs for triggers, automation, and system integration.

The app has a 14-day free trial, so you can fully evaluate it before buying — because of that, we don't refund the license fee. Subscriptions can be canceled any time and stay active through the period you've paid. The full details, including Spark packs, are in the refund policy. If something is broken, email support@watchflows.app — we've never refused a legitimate request.

No problem. Visit our license recovery page and enter your purchase email. We'll resend it immediately.
