n8n runs on your server. Nodey lives on your phone. We bridge the gap — with NFC tags, geofences, push notifications, and Home Screen widgets that keep your workflows within reach. Built for n8n.
Everything your n8n instance can tell you, in your pocket.
MONITORING
Every workflow's heartbeat, on one screen. Total workflows. Active count. 24-hour error trends. Recent failures with one-tap drill-in.
WORKFLOW TRIGGERS
Fire a webhook without unlocking your phone. Connect n8n to NFC tags and location triggers on supported devices.
WORKFLOW VAULT
Back up any workflow and restore it to any n8n instance — encrypted locally on your phone. Unlock with Face ID or via Passkey.
AI Workflow Builder
Describe a workflow. Nodey AI builds it.
Describe your workflow. Nodey designs the node list, connections, configuration, error handling, and testing notes. Then sends the JSON straight to your connected n8n instance. Build your workflows straight from your phone.
9+ AI features. Use Nodey AI—or BYOKs.
Nodey comes with 9+ AI features out of the box. Use Nodey AI through a subscription or Bring Your Own Keys (BYOKs) to pair our features with your own Claude, Gemini, or Mistral API key — whichever developer you trust.
Security Hardening
A full workflow audit across seven domains: security, error handling, performance, input validation, logging, rate limiting, and best practices. Get prioritised fixes you can action immediately before shipping your workflow.
Error Pattern Analysis
Feed Nodey AI your recent execution history. Nodey AI clusters failures by type, time, and node — surfacing the systemic issues hiding behind a wall of red Xs in your executions list. Nodey AI even recommends the fixes.
Code Optimizer
Point Nodey AI at any complicated workflow and Nodey AI will simplify your workflow by replacing multiple nodes with code nodes, which helps improve performance, refractor opportunities, and better error handling.
Workflow Deep Dive
Ask Nodey AI any technical question about any workflow — "why is this branch never executing?", "what happens if the API returns null?" — and get a thorough answer, allowing you to debug workflow problems.
Dark mode
Built for late-night debugging.
Light mode
Just as sharp in daylight.

Everything you might want to know — up front.
-
What is Nodey?
Nodey is an independent n8n mobile companion app for iOS and Android. Connect an existing n8n instance to monitor workflow executions, diagnose errors with AI, trigger automations with NFC tags or geofences, and back up workflows from your phone.
-
Does Nodey replace the n8n web editor?
No. Use the n8n web editor to build and edit workflows in detail. Nodey gives you mobile access to monitoring, workflow activation, AI debugging, backups, and triggers. Its AI Workflow Builder can also generate workflow JSON and send it to your connected n8n instance.
-
Does Nodey work with self-hosted n8n and n8n Cloud?
Yes. Nodey connects to self-hosted n8n and n8n Cloud instances through the n8n API. You need an existing instance with API access, its URL, and an n8n API key. Your instance must be reachable from your phone; Nodey does not host or run the n8n server.
-
How do I connect n8n to Nodey?
Download Nodey from the App Store or Google Play. Create an API key in your n8n instance, then add the instance URL and API key in Nodey. Once connected, you can view workflows and executions. The n8n API key connects your instance; an AI provider API key is a separate, optional setting.
-
What do the AI tools do?
Nodey includes Workflow Explainer, Error Diagnosis, Security Hardening, Code Optimizer, Workflow Cleanup, Error Pattern Analysis, Performance Profiler, Workflow Builder, Deep Dive, and Debug Companion. Use a Nodey AI subscription or bring your own Claude, Gemini, or Mistral API key. Review AI-generated changes before applying them to a workflow.
-
Is Nodey free to use?
Nodey is free to download on iOS and Android. You can use its AI features with your own supported AI provider API key without a Nodey AI subscription; your provider may charge for API usage. Paid plans offer Nodey AI access. See the in-app purchase screen for current plans, local prices, and usage limits.
-
Can I trigger n8n workflows with NFC tags or my location?
Yes. Nodey can call an n8n webhook from an NFC tag or when you enter or leave a geofenced area. Configure a webhook-triggered workflow in n8n and a corresponding trigger in Nodey. Availability depends on your device, operating system, permissions, and background activity settings.
-
Is Nodey an official n8n app?
No. Nodey is an independent app built by Hesham Mashhour and published by Skin Kins Co. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by n8n. An existing n8n instance is required.
