## Overview

- **Who it's for**: iOS users who wanted to automate repetitive tasks on their phone — power users and tinkerers rather than professional developers, since it required no coding.
- **What you get**: A visual, drag-and-drop editor for chaining together 'actions' (e.g., resize an image, get text from a webpage, create a calendar event) into a custom multi-step workflow. It could pull in data from other apps, and included a gallery of pre-built workflows to use or customize. Finished workflows could be launched from the iOS share sheet, saved as a home screen icon, or run from a Today widget.
- **How it works**: Users dragged actions into an ordered sequence, with each action's output feeding into the next; the assembled workflow was then saved and triggered on demand from the share sheet, a home screen icon, or a widget.
