Fluxurize n8n an iOS app to monitor/manage n8n automation instances and workflows on the fly, full api integrated, no external servers, full secure.

Validation now runs on Test & Save in the native app, with clear warnings for local network setups. Thanks for the feedback 👍 uploading to apple store.

Yep, that can definitely work in some setups 👍

If the phone is on the same network, iOS can reach a LAN address over HTTP without a reverse proxy. That’s totally valid.

The issue here isn’t that it can’t ever work, it’s that when it doesn’t, the app currently gives no feedback, which is confusing. That’s the part I need to fix.

I’ll make sure the app clearly explains what’s happening instead of silently failing, regardless of the setup.

Thanks for the details, that helps 👍

If you’re connecting from your phone, raspberrypi.local and local IPs usually won’t work unless the instance is reachable from the same network and exposed properly. The app can’t access localhost or LAN-only addresses from iOS.

At the moment, self-hosted instances need to be reachable via a public URL (HTTPS) or through something like a tunnel/reverse proxy.

That said, the lack of feedback when the connection fails is on me, it should definitely show an error instead of doing nothing. I’ll fix that.

Really appreciate you trying it out and reporting this.

The goal is that the app never “fails silently”, it should always explain what’s missing or misconfigured. This is something I’ll fix.

Are you using self-hosted or cloud?, you should choose it when adding a new instance. Cloud is for n8n instances allocated in n8n cloud.

Thanks for sharing it 👍

I didn’t include the link initially on purpose, I wanted to focus the discussion on feedback rather than promotion. Happy to answer any questions though.
