Flow Nodes is a visual programming app for building live graphics, video effects, 3D scenes, and custom interfaces — just connect nodes, no code required.
Start from ready-made presets in Discover, follow built-in tutorials, or build from scratch. Combine image processing, video, animation, math, networking, and UI with realtime inputs like camera, microphone, motion sensors, body, hand and face tracking, MIDI, OSC, and NDI.
Built for realtime creation. Nodes arrange themselves as you connect them. Search and add nodes quickly, edit properties in the inspector, animate with a keyframe timeline, and reuse flows inside other flows. Organize projects in folders, split the canvas into tabs and panes, and navigate with a mini-map and live previews. Import and export images (including HDR), video, and 3D assets, record any output to video, and AirPlay content over Wi-Fi or HDMI.
On supported devices, Apple Intelligence helps you understand and edit flows: read node docs, review connections, and use chat to create, connect, and update nodes with natural language. Automate flows with Shortcuts.

was really enjoying this but ever since the 2nd update this has started crashing on launch for me. i've tried every version with each update and each one besides the first crashes on launch. i'm on a macbook pro 2012 running MacOS 14.2.1. intel HD graphics 4000 and 16gb ram. any chance of fixing thisupdate: you were totally right and no i hadn't tried that yet. after deleting all the folders and files from my computer and then deleting and redownloading the app, everything is functioning normally again. it's no longer crashing at startup. thank you!! 5/5 for this awesome app
Developer Response
Hi, sorry about that. It sounds like the database might have been corrupted. The only advice I can give, and you probably already tried it, is to remove the app before installing again. If you have iCloud syncing enabled, try to turn it off before installing again, incase the corrupted database has been synced to iCloud. Unfortunately I don’t have an intel MacBook to test on, tho feel free to reach out to me if you continue to experience the crash. You can find my email on heestand.xyz
Flow Nodes is Dope Bro

The dev is professional and has made something really interesting here with Flow Nodes. It’s a really nice app, smooth, and capable of a lot once you wrap your head around it, could be something really special Super responsive dev as well! Thanks to the dev for responding to a bug so quickly!
Difficult to find and watch all of the nodes in action.

The tutorials didn’t help and as I’m currently writing this i still cannot find a way to ‘play’ the nodes.
Improved flow editing and bug fixes
