Flow Nodes is built for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro.

Most UI elements are shared between the platforms.

Home

There are 3 sections in the home view:

• Flows created by you
• Pre-made flows, called demos (these can be edited directly or be duplicated and moved to your section)
• Tutorials (When opened, they are initially empty, and a tutorial panel is presented to guide you though creating a flow)

Canvas

When opening a flow, you are presented with a zoomable canvas.

If creating a new project, there will be a rounded rectangle surrounding the center of the canvas, this is the root node and all nodes are inside this area (it will expand when you add more nodes). Every node is created inside the root node. It’s possible to connect wires to the root node, this is used when instancing a flow or using the Shortcuts app by Apple.
