Render realtime 3D graphics, edit video and images, build a custom UI, send and receive signals via OSC, MIDI and NDI.
Flow Nodes is a visual programming app for creating live graphics, video effects, custom interfaces, realtime tools, and 3D scenes with a node graph.
Create flows by connecting nodes for image processing, video playback and recording, background removal, green screen keying, animation, math, state, networking, and custom UI. Build with 2D graphics, vector shapes, 3D geometry, spatial entities, cameras, lights, fields, and realtime inputs like microphone, motion sensors, face tracking, MIDI, OSC, and NDI.
Flow Nodes is designed for realtime creation. Tutorials and demos built in the app. Search and add nodes quickly, edit properties in a dedicated inspector, organize projects in folders, split the canvas into tabs and panes, and navigate the node graph with a mini-map and live previews. Import and export image, video and 3D assets, record live graphic outputs to video. AirPlay any node content over WiFi or HDMI.
On supported devices, Flow Nodes also includes Apple Intelligence-powered tools to help you understand and edit flows. You can inspect node docs, review connections, and use chat to create, move, connect, or update nodes with natural language.

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.
- New 3D nodes
- New Render node
- New Video Player node
- Bug fixes
