I’m going to pop a link into the Mac Tidbits website where there is a press release there and also a link over to the App Store where you can download and play around with it.

I predict that over the next several month and year, you’re going to hear a lot of people finding very creative ways to use this app to automate the daylights out of things on their iOS device.

You might say every time I take a picture, run this workflow and upload a copy to Dropbox or even make it animated GIF image from a series of photos. You might have a workflow set up to go grab the lyrics of the currently playing song. You can call Uber for a car to come take you home. They talk about you might send somebody the estimated time of arrival based on your map location. I’m looking at a press release here that gives you some ideas for tasks that you might do with it. It’s a little more than a macro program and kind of a modular automation system. It basically lets you program the thing to do some tasks that would normally take several steps. Workflow lets you take components and apply them to content on your iOS device, so your iPad or iPhone. You’re cropping them or rotating them and putting a filter on them or whatever. Let’s say you’re constantly handling pictures in a certain way. It’s a system that lets you pull modules in and automate things in your iOS workflow. It’s the closest thing that we found that comes close to Microsoft Automator. It’s an app called Workflow, and it’s something that has been kind of coming for a while. Lately I’ve been paying attention to a new app that sort of was delayed in coming out but now that it’s out, is making a lot of news in the mainstream iOS news cycle. I use iPads and iPhones and all that kind of stuff. I use a lot of Apple products, and I’m very involved in using iOS devices.
