Local or cloud

AWFlow works in two ways:

• Local workspace: no account. Everything is saved in this browser, on this device. The sidebar shows Local workspace · Saved on this device.
• Signed in: you have an account. Each workflow and credential can be saved in the cloud (available wherever you sign in) or locally (this browser only).

The first time you open AWFlow without an account, you start in a local workspace. No login wall.

What you get with each

	Local workspace	Signed in
Build and run workflows	Yes, no limits	Yes
Cloud storage across devices	No	Yes, within your plan
Install from the Marketplace	No	Yes
Publish to the Marketplace	No	Yes (cloud workflows)
Request board voting	No	Yes
Notifications	No	Yes
Profile and password	No	Yes
Chats, agents, memory, knowledge bases, AI providers	On this device	On this device

Some things always stay on the device, whichever mode you use: chats, agents, memory, knowledge bases, AI providers, the data store, Safe mode and site permissions. See Privacy & data.

Sign in from a local workspace

Use Sign in in the sidebar’s user menu, in Settings › General, or on any screen that needs an account. See Sign up and log in.

Bring your local work to your account

The first time you sign in with local workflows or credentials, AWFlow asks Move local items to your account?

1. Tick the Workflows and Credentials you want in the cloud.

2. Click Move selected to cloud, or Keep local to leave everything where it is.

Anything you don’t move stays on this device and keeps working. Later, move single items with Move to cloud / Move to local in the workflow or credential menu, or several at once from the workflows list.

Note

If your local credentials are protected by a passphrase, unlock them first in Settings › Preferences to move them. See Local secret vault.

Choose where new items go

Signed-in users set the default in Settings › Preferences › Default storage location. You can still pick each time you create a workflow or credential.
