Getting Started

This guide takes you from a fresh install to a Flow you can run and inspect.

  1. Download Flow-Like

    Get Flow-Like Desktop for Windows, macOS, or Linux from the download page. You can also use the web app for online projects.

  2. Choose a Profile

    On first use, choose a starter Profile. A Profile carries your model selection, theme, and other preferences. If the Profile includes local models, Flow-Like can continue downloading them in the background.

  3. Create a Project

    Open Library and select Create Flow. Name the project and choose:

    • Offline — Local only for a project stored on this device.
    • Online — Sync with cloud for browser access and collaboration.

    Choose a template for a guided starting point, or start empty. Select Create Project to open the initial Flow in Studio.

  4. Build the Flow

    Right-click an open area of the canvas to browse the Node Catalog. Nodes with matching pin types can be connected by dragging between their pins. Begin with an event node, add the processing steps you need, and finish with an observable result such as a response or log node.

  5. Run and Inspect

    Run the Flow from its event node. If the event exposes inputs, Flow-Like asks for them before execution. Open Runs to inspect the execution, node logs, duration, and payload, or to run the same payload again.
