AutomationOpen Source

What it does

Manaflow's public surface no longer looks like an AI workflow automation SaaS. Right now it presents itself as an open-source applied AI lab, and the main homepage points to cmux - a native macOS terminal for coding agents with vertical tabs, notification rings, split panes, an in-app browser, and a socket API. Looking at the current public site honestly, cmux is the real product face of Manaflow today.

Plans

Free

Free - open source with a free macOS download

Access

There is no public pricing page on the Manaflow site right now. The homepage points to cmux, and the cmux FAQ explicitly says the product is free, the source code is on GitHub, and the app can be downloaded for macOS.

Screenshots

This screen matters because it captures the current positioning honestly. Manaflow no longer looks like the old workflow SaaS and now presents itself as an AI lab around new developer tools.

cmux is the surface the public site actually sends you to. It shows the real offer: a terminal for coding agents, not an ETL or enterprise workflow orchestration product.

The feature list makes the target user clear: multiple agents, pane notifications, an in-app browser, split panes, and a socket API for automation.

Usage examples

Running multiple coding agents in parallel

cmux is built around vertical tabs and split panes. That is useful when you have Codex, Claude Code, Aider, or other terminal-based agents running across different tasks at the same time.

Documentation

Keeping terminal and browser in one window

One of the main features is the in-app browser beside the terminal. That helps when the agent needs to keep a PR, docs, CI, or an admin panel inside the same workspace.

Documentation

Automation through the CLI and socket API

The product is not limited to the GUI. The site explicitly calls out the CLI and socket API so you can automate windows, notifications, and your own terminal workflows.

Documentation

Application scenarios

Scenario: a developer runs several agentic tasks in parallel - code in one tab, tests in another, a PR and browser in a third - and does not want to juggle the setup across multiple terminal windows.

Scenario: a solo engineer replaces a tmux plus multi-terminal setup with cmux to switch faster between worktrees, coding agents, and support windows.

Make (Integromat)

Make is a visual-first automation platform where the whole scenario lives on one canvas and pricing is now built around credits. It works best once simple trigger-action recipes stop being enough and you need branching, routing, Grid-level visibility, or AI agents connected to the rest of the workflow. Teams usually choose it when they want to automate real work without losing sight of how the process runs.

n8n

n8n is an automation platform for teams that want both a visual editor and real infrastructure control. The current product story leans hard into unlimited users, unlimited workflows, and pricing by workflow executions instead of charging for every step. It fits teams that want to start quickly in the cloud or move serious automations onto their own VPS once no-code alone stops being enough.

OpenKIWI

OpenKIWI is a self-hosted agentic automation system with a web UI for models, agents, workflow building, and scheduled heartbeats. It is not a machine-translation evaluation library, but a full open-source stack for running AI agents inside your own environment. It fits teams that want security-first containers, multi-model setup, Telegram or WhatsApp channels, and a transparent agent loop without depending on someone else's SaaS.

HowOne

HowOne is a creator-first platform that turns a conversation into a live agentic app with UI, logic, backend pieces, and deployment. The public site is aimed less at enterprise automation and more at app templates, remix workflows, EvoAgentX under the hood, and fast solo-founder MVP launches with subscriptions and usage-based billing already wired in.

VisioPilot

On the public web, VisioPilot no longer looks like a live product. As of March 2026, visiopilot.com redirects to a GoDaddy parked / for sale page, so the older claims about visual automation and pricing can no longer be verified.
