Introduction

Build beautiful workflow editors in minutes, not months.

A drop-in visual workflow editor for any web application. You own the backend. You own the data. You own the orchestration.

Who is FlowDrop for?

Application developers

Building internal tools, CMS platforms, or SaaS products that need a visual workflow builder. You want a drop-in editor, not a workflow engine.

AI/ML engineers

Designing agent pipelines, RAG workflows, or tool-calling chains. FlowDrop visualizes the orchestration graph while you control execution.

Platform teams

Creating self-service automation platforms where non-technical users design workflows through a visual interface.

Why FlowDrop?

Most workflow tools are SaaS platforms that lock you in. Your data lives on their servers, your execution logic runs in their cloud, and you pay per workflow, per user, per run.

FlowDrop is different. It is a pure visual editor component library. You implement the backend. You control the orchestration. Your workflows run on your infrastructure, with your security policies, at your scale. No vendor lock-in. No data leaving your walls.

If you would rather not operate a backend, Factorial.io hosts one — see choose a backend, which is where that decision belongs.
