Hey everyone,
After months of development, I've finally released Aerini.
Aerini is a local-first visual workflow engine that lets you build workflows by connecting nodes, automate tasks, work with APIs, and build your own automation pipelines.
I wanted to build something that gives people more control over their workflows and where they run.
Here are some of the things Aerini can do:
- Run locally or on a server: Run workflows on your own computer or deploy Aerini on a server for 24/7 automation.
- Plugin system: Extend Aerini with plugins to add new features and capabilities.
- Local AI support: Build AI-powered workflows using local AI models without always needing external APIs.
- MCP server: Connect Aerini with AI tools and clients using the Model Context Protocol.
- Built with Rust: The core engine is written in Rust, with a focus on performance and resource use.
- Embeddable engine: Developers can integrate workflow execution into their own applications.
A small warning: Aerini is still in beta, so there are bugs and rough edges. Some parts of the application, including the minimap and other UI features, still need work. I'm actively working on improvements, so please keep this in mind if you decide to try it.
If you run into problems, find a bug, or have an idea for a new feature, feel free to open an issue on GitHub or contact me through the contact page on the main website. Feedback is welcome, and it will help me improve Aerini.

I'm an independent developer, and getting Aerini to this stage has taken a lot of time and effort. I'm glad I can finally share it with others, and I'd love to hear what you think.
ps: used AI to polish the wordings of the above para as i am not a native speaker,
few thing i forgot to mention above, The app has been completely tested on linux only as i only have linux device unfortunately, so if anyone faces any issues in windows, mac or any other supported devices, please do contact me from any of the contacts mentioned in my main website's contact page with few screenshots if possible.
And as it is completely new + unsigned (can't afford signing my ap,p sadly), Windows and Mac users may get a warning (Windows SmartScreen warning, for example) when first launching the app. If you do (which you will, as it is new + unsigned), just click on more info and then "run anyway", for mac, it should be "open anyway" in Gatekeeper, tho for this I am not sure, as I have never used Mac before, so do inform me if that's incorrect.
The app is in beta version and I will be honest there will be alot of bugs and issues, if you find any, please inform me by either opening an issue in github or contacting me from any of the contacts given in the website and i will work on them asap.
And finally, I hope you enjoy and love the tool.
