# Flow-Like

> Flow-Like is one source-available system for data, AI, automations, and apps: typed visual workflows on a Rust runtime that run on the desktop, self-hosted, or fully offline, with every action recorded.

Every page here is also served as Markdown: append `.md` to any URL (https://flow-like.com/pricing.md) or send `Accept: text/markdown`. Markdown responses carry an `x-markdown-tokens` header so agents can budget before fetching.

Product pages are translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, and Chinese under a locale prefix (https://flow-like.com/de/pricing). English is the source of truth.
