About
Mahout is a fully open-source, on-device workflow automation app for Android that treats every device capability, such as notifications, location, sensors, and media, as a node in a visual drag-and-drop DAG editor, combining the node-based style of n8n with the trigger-based automation of Tasker. It also includes an AI chat operator that can draft workflows from natural-language descriptions, support for 14 AI providers, on-device RAG, and MCP support, running AI locally via Gemini Nano or through the user's own API keys with no cloud subscription or account required.
At a glance
Mahout builds Android automations by wiring device actions and triggers into a visual workflow. It is worth considering when you want to automate a recurring phone task and inspect the steps it will run.
Good fit
Android users comfortable reviewing permissions and starting with a small manual workflow.
Consider something else when
Use a simpler shortcut if the task needs only one action or cannot justify broad device permissions.
Start here
Make a two-step workflow with a manual trigger and a harmless output. Verify it before enabling a background trigger or granting additional permissions.
Cost and requirements
Open-source Android project with optional AI-assisted workflow authoring. The documentation lists on-device AI and bring-your-own-key providers.
Limits to know
Available actions depend on Android and granted permissions. Selecting a hosted AI option changes where inputs can be processed.
