Nodey

Overview

Nodey is a specialized mobile app and command center designed to monitor, manage, and build n8n workflows directly from your phone. It connects securely to self-hosted or cloud n8n instances to track live executions, diagnose failures using advanced AI, and back up workflows into an encrypted vault. Additionally, it bridges automation with the physical world through geofenced triggers, NFC tags, and interactive home screen widgets.
