workless

Open-source, self-hosted workflow engine.
Build, execute, and monitor complex automations — visual DAG builder, webhooks, scheduling, code blocks. A self-hosted alternative to Zapier / Make.com / n8n.

• Triggers — Webhooks, schedules (cron), manual, and event-based
• Actions — HTTP requests, code blocks (sandboxed Docker), conditionals, delays, loops
