AutomationFlowsImport Guide › AutomationFlows desktop app — one-click n8n workflow import

Desktop app — one-click import.

Pro and Lifetime subscribers get the AutomationFlows desktop app — a native macOS / Windows client that browses the full catalog and imports workflows directly into your local n8n instance via the n8n REST API. No copy-paste, no JSON files, no manual upload.

What it does

Setup

  1. Get Pro — $9/mo or $299 lifetime; the desktop app comes with the subscription.
  2. When the app ships, download the signed-and-notarised DMG (Apple Silicon or Intel) or Windows Setup .exe. Direct download links live on the homepage and on this page.
  3. Install. On first launch, sign in with your Pro / Lifetime email. The app fetches your entitlement against the AutomationFlows API.
  4. Set your n8n base URL + API key in Settings.
  5. Browse, click, install.

Free alternative

If you don't want the desktop app, every workflow's JSON is freely available — see the copy-paste or file import guides. The desktop app is purely a convenience layer on top.
