Automation that lives in the app

Event-driven automation on your phone — 10 triggers or a cron schedule, a real step engine with conditionals, loops and try/catch, retry and backoff, and 8 built-in templates. Describe a flow in plain words and get a scaffold.

Triggered by anything

React to what happens, or run on a schedule.

  • Ten triggers from the app bus: git push, file saved, deploy…
  • Cron and interval scheduling on WorkManager
  • Optional filters — branch “main”, glob “*.kt”

Real control flow

Not a linear macro — a step engine.

  • Six step types: action, conditional, loop, parallel, wait, try/catch
  • Shared context with variable bindings passed between steps
  • Eight action types wired to the app's own tools

Runs that don't flake

Failure handling is built into every step.

  • Per-step retry with exponential backoff
  • Timeouts and try/catch to contain errors
  • Run history: last 100 runs, kept 30 days, drill into each step

Describe it, get a workflow

Plain words in, editable scaffold out.

  • Natural-language prompt → a workflow you can edit
  • Visual editor: trigger, steps, reliability, drag to reorder
  • Share and install workflows from the marketplace

Frequently asked questions

Can you automate tasks on Android with PocketCode?

Yes. The workflows tool builds automations from 10 trigger types and 8 actions, with control-flow steps (if, loop, try), so you can chain multi-step jobs that run on your phone without wiring up an external automation service.

Can workflows run on a schedule?

Yes. You can trigger a workflow on a cron expression or a fixed interval, so recurring jobs run automatically without you starting them by hand — for example a nightly backup or a periodic health check.

Can AI build a workflow for you?

Yes. Describe what you want in plain language and the AI turns it into a working flow (natural language to flow), which you can then edit step by step — a faster start than dragging every node into place yourself.

Does it keep a run history?

Yes. It retains up to 100 runs for 30 days, so you can review what each workflow did, inspect the output of every step, and debug a failed run instead of guessing why an automation misbehaved.

Are there ready-made workflow templates?

Yes. Eight templates give you a starting point for common automations, so you can adapt an existing flow instead of building every workflow from a blank canvas — handy when you want a result quickly.
