DEV Community: Mr.Pan

The FAQ of productivity application RunFlow

Mr.Pan — Mon, 13 May 2024 02:40:49 +0000

We will answer your frequently asked questions there.

Why not free?

First of all, we are very advocating open source, but the design and development of RunFlow cost us a lot of time and energy, and we also have some operational costs, such as servers, developer accounts, etc.

So we need funds to allow us to continuously update and improve our products, and we hope you can understand. Moreover, charging for our services also helps us avoid putting ads in our products, providing you with a clean and undisturbed user experience.

Why is payment based on subscription?

Because we aim to continuously update and improve our products to make it better and better, providing you with stable supports, whether it is new requirements or bug fixes (we welcome you to submit requirements and bugs).

What if we don't update? We will check on every New Year's Day (January 1st) to see if RunFlow has been updated in the past year, if there is no update (the possibility is extremely low), we will renew all licenses that are unexpired and in good standing for one year for free. For example, your license will expire on 2025-02-18, but our service detects on 2025-01-01 that RunFlow has not been updated in the past year from 2024-01-01 ~ 2024-12-31, then we will extend the expiration date of your license to 2026-02-18 for free.

Do I need to pay for the plugin?

All plugins developed by our official team will always be free, aimed to enhance the functionality of our product, and providing you with a better user experience. However, whether other unofficial plugins charge fees is determined by their developers, who may have their own pricing policies, we recommend you to read their terms carefully before installation.

Can plugin developers use it for free?

Plugin developers can be free to use RunFlow: we will evaluate your plugin submission status in the past year on New Year's Day (January 1st) every year, if your plugins have updated, we will renew your license which has the longest validity period under your developer account for one year for free (please ensure your license is bound to your developer account).

For instance, your license will expire on 2025-01-31, but our service detects on 2025-01-01 that your plugins has been updated in the past year from 2024-01-01 ~ 2024-12-31, then we will extend the expiration date of your license to 2026-01-31 for free.

Why is the CPU and memory usage so high during the first running?

When you run RunFlow for the first time, we will traverse all your disk files and then create file indexes to provide you with a more efficient file retrieval experience. During this time, CPU and memory usage will indeed be relatively high, but it will return to normal once the index creation is completed.

This article takes stock of those functions that are easily overlooked but are very useful.

The LAN transmission manual of productivity application RunFlow

Mr.Pan — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 07:31:17 +0000

This article will show you how to use RunFlow to transfer files and synchronize the clipboard within a local area network (LAN). Whether it is a home LAN or an office LAN, you can easily transfer files and synchronize the clipboard. If you have not installed RunFlow yet, you can click here to download it.

Why is it recommended to use LAN transmission? 1. Private, files and clipboard are transmitted within your intranet and will not be connected to any public network server, ensuring the privacy and security of your data; 2. Fast, precisely because it is transmitted within the intranet, no need to Internet environment, so the transmission can be faster.

Enabling LAN Transfer

The LAN transfer tool is not enabled by default. To enable it, we need to jump to the settings page of the builtin plugin, scroll down, and you will see a function called LAN Transfer, check it to enable LAN transfer.

If you still don't know how to open our settings page, you can start with our basic manual.

After successfully enabling LAN transfer, enter lan to open the function page, the interface is as follows:

The small green dot on the left side of the device name indicates that the service started successfully, otherwise it indicates that the startup failed. The reason for the failure is most likely that the port is occupied. It is recommended that you modify the Http port on the General Settings page and restart the application.

Static Files Browsing Service

The static files browsing service can be understood as you sharing a read-only file, and other users on the same network can browse and download the file you shared. To enable the static files browsing service, first we need to check it and set a file (usually a folder) to be shared. After the setting is successfully, we can see an accessible link and open the link with a browser to browse and download files.

This solution can transfer files to other devices that do not have RunFlow installed, such as mobile or Linux devices.

Request a Connection to Transfer Files and Clipboard

To request a connection, we first need know the IPv4 address of the other device and the port where RunFlow starts the HTTP service. In the second demonstrate image above, you can see that our interface has displayed the IPv4 address and port of the current device: 192.168.31.223:8177.

device A requests connection to device B:

device B allows the connection (of course you can deny it):

After allowing the connection, we can see the opposite's device name and IPv4 address, and set the relevant permissions (all turned on by default, you can customize it: 1. receive files, whether to receive files from the device; 2. push clipboard, when the clipboard changes, whether to push the clipboard to the device; 3. receive clipboard, whether to receive the clipboard pushed from the device).

After allowing the connection, you can happily transfer files and synchronize the clipboard (text, images and files can all be synchronized).

Request Connections with Mobile/Web or Other Devices That Do Not Have RunFlow Installed

In the second demonstrate image about, you can see that we displayed an accessible link: http://192.168.31.223:8177/lan, through this link we can let the browser connect to RunFlow.

Note some limitations of requesting a connection through the browser: 1. unable to receive files; 2. unable to listen the changes of the clipboard, so pushing the clipboard is your manual behaviour; 3. unable to receive clipboard pushes from the device, but we can see the current clipboard content of the device.

Thanks

This article introduces you how to use the LAN transfer tools we provide to transfer files and synchronize the clipboard to meet the transmission of various private data.

The full Java developer manual of the productivity application RunFlow

Mr.Pan — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 03:45:46 +0000

This manual is writing for Java developers, if you are not a Java developer, you can read our developer manual. Of course, you can continue reading if you are interested.

Typing qe to enter the focused mode of QLExpress.

Executing Java Code

for math example: Math.sin(9);

Running result: 0.4121184852417566.

for reading system environment variables example: top.myrest.myflow.util.Jackson.INSTANCE.toJsonString(System.getenv(), true);

Of course, you can also format it as yaml: top.myrest.myflow.util.Jackson.INSTANCE.toYamlString(System.getenv());.

Verifying Methods

Sometimes, because some tooling classes have so many methods, and you are not sure which one to use, so we need to verify the execution result of the method, for example:

Thanks

QLEpress brings you the ability to execute Java code at RunFlow runtime, we support execute script file which written by QLExpress syntax, click here to learn QLExpress syntax.

Meanwhile, we support develop plugin through QLExpress, click here to learn how to develop plugin with QLExpress. Certainly, you will get better interaction capabilities if you use Java to develop plugins, welcome to click here to read our Java guide.

The full developer manual of the productivity application RunFlow

Mr.Pan — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 12:56:25 +0000

Earlier we introduced the basic and advanced functions of RunFlow, this article is a developer manual specially prepared for developers. Let's take a look at the practical functions.

Executing Commands

type > to enter the focused mode of command (supports recording history to make it faster to execute daily used commands):

Calculator

base conversion (binary, octal and hexadecimal start with 0b, 0, 0x respectively)

bit operations (and &, or |, XOR ^, right shift >>, left shift <<)

Datetime Calculator

current timestamp (add a . parameter to stop the real time, ie: now.)

timestamp to datetime (year, month, day, week, hour, minute, second millisecond are represented by y, m, d, w, h, min, s, ms respectively)

offset calculation (< offset to the past, > offset to the future, examples: offset to the end of this week now>w, offset to the beginning of this month now<m, offset to the end of a certain day 2024-05-01>d)

addition and subtraction for datetime calculation (examples: 100y+500h+999ms、2024-05-01+999min-3w)

calculate the difference in days between two date (the datetime format at both ends must be consistent, examples: 2024-07-01-2024-01-01、20241231-20231231)

Supported formats for datetime: yyyymmdd、yyyy-mm-dd、yyyyMMddHHmmss、yyyyMMdd HHmmss、yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS、yyyyMMdd HHmmssSSS、yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss、yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS.

Random Generator

Examples: random abc 16 random 16 lowercase and uppercase letters, random abc upper 16 random 16 uppercase letters, random abc lower 16 random 16 lowercase letters, random int 100,999 a random number from 100 to 999, random color a random color.

Developer Tools

We also provided a developer tools plugin, that include functions: coding naming style conversion, color parsing, CRON expression parsing, Base32 and Base64 encoding and decoding, Sha256 and MD5 encryption, UUID generator, letter uppercase and lowercase conversion, etc. The Plugin Documentation.

Thanks

This article introduces some commonly used functions by developers. If you wish to develop plugins, welcome to read our plugin development guide. If you are a Java developer, we have also prepared a Java developer manual, welcome to read it.

The fully advanced manual of the productivity application RunFlow

Mr.Pan — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 13:05:48 +0000

Welcome to our advanced manual of the RunFlow, if you don't know RunFlow yet, we recommend you read our fundamental manual first.

Searching Files

Appending len parameter to filter files by size, such as: len:1kb-2kb, len:3mb-5mb etc.

** can match multi-level directories. For an instance, finding files which start with test in the folder folder_a, we can input like this: folder_a/**/test.

Calculator

We have two preset irrational numbers e and pi.

Calculating big numbers, if you want to calculate 9999999999999999999*9999999999999999999, there is no result if you input it directly like this. We should append a d parameter after the number, like this: 9999999999999999999d*9999999999999999999d.

Unwrap Folder

Suppose we have a folder in the below example, and now we need to delete the folder and bring all the files to the same directory, the folderunwrap will be helpful.

folder
├─text_01.txt
├─text_02.txt     
├─folder01
│ ├─text_03.txt
│ └─text_04.txt
└─folder02
  └─folder03
    ├─text_05.txt
    └─text_06.txt

After unwrap the folder, all the files at the same directory level:

text_01.txt
text_02.txt
text_03.txt
text_04.txt
text_05.txt
text_06.txt

Running in Separate Window

Importing and Exporting Data

We support exporting data as JSON format, and importing data also needs to be the JSON format.

Data Synchronization

Local Synchronized Service

The local-based synchronized service is our builtin function, which relies on third-party cloud service, such as Onedrive, iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox, etc.

Here I use my usually used OneDrive as an example, the other cloud synchronization is the same. We can first create a new folder MyFlow in OneDrive to store the data that needs to be synchronized, and then open the settings page of data synchronization, turn on the Data Sync Service Based On Local, and set the folder where the data is located.

Telling you a secret, turning on the data synchronization service will enable you to synchronize your clipboard.

Scheduled Tasks

In the settings page of hot events, we can use Cron expressions to set scheduled tasks, such as regularly cleaning the computer recycle bin, and recreating file indexes, etc.

Here is a brief explanation of the cron expression:

second(0-59)	minute(0-59)	hour(0-23)	day-of-month(1-31)	month(1-12)	week(0-7, both 0 and 7 are sunday)	explanation
0	0	12	*	*	*	executing at 12:00 every day
0	0	12	*	*	1	executing at 12:00 every month

Learn more information about cron.

Here is all about the commonly advanced builtin functions of RunFlow, if you need more functions, you can visit our plugin store. If you are a developer, welcome to read our developer manual and submit plugins.

The fully fundamental manual of the productivity application RunFlow

Mr.Pan — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 06:55:02 +0000

RunFlow is a new powerful productivity application developed by us. This article is the basic manual of the RunFlow's skills, and also for the function demonstrations. If you want to know what new features we have, you can read this article, here is no details about this. Let's get started.

Keyword

Keyword is our a main feature, a function usually consists of one or more keywords, and you can customize all of these keywords. If you don't like the default keyword, you can customize it with your preference. Then to trigger the function, we only need to type the associated keyword, that makes everything more efficiently.

Download and Install

This is the prerequisite for experiencing RunFlow, there is not much to introduce, please click here to download and install.

Common Sense

In Windows, you can press the hotkey Windows+Space to show or hide our Action Window, and in macOS, you can press Command+Space to show or hide it.

The Enter key can be used to quickly execute the selected result.

The Alt key can popup the context menu or refreshes the result.

The Tab key can quickly help us complete the input. It can directly let the suggested text or title which provided by the result as the input content, like the under example: jump to the plugin store.

General Settings

Typing settings general, then press Enter to jump to General Settings page, which can set languages, themes and placeholders, etc.

Control Your Computer

Typing settings builtin jump to Builtin Settings page to see what system commands we support.

Keyword	Function
`emptytrash`	clean computer recycle bin
`lock`	lock computer
`restart`	restart computer
`shutdown`	shutdown computer
`sleep`	sleep computer
`screensaver`	open system screen saver
`sleepdispaly`	sleep computer displays
`logout`	logout computer
`taskviewer`	open system task viewer (only Windows support)
`quit`	quit applications

Here, we use quiting applications as the demonstration:

Dragging Input

Whether it is a file or text, you can input by dragging (ensure the Action Windows is pinned before dragging to avoid hiding it because lost focus, you can pin or unpin it by double-pressing the Ctrl key or clicking the pin button in the top right corner).

Searching Files

find files (append file parameter to find files only)

preview files

find folders (append dir parameter to find folders only)

find applications (append app parameter to find applications only)

? matches any single character, * matches any one or more characters.

Calculator

We support basic mathematical arithmetic operations and remainder operations, as well as linear equations of one variable.

% is the remainder operation.

Clipboards

Clipboards will save you copied text, files and images.

find clipboard (only text)

open clipboard func page (manage texts, files and images)

QRCode

Customizing Hotkey

We support two types of shortcut keys, one is the regular combined hotkeys, such as Windows+Space. And the another type is to click a certain key multiple times, such as double-pressing Ctrl mentioned above to toggle the pinned state of the Action Window, we mark it as Ctrl*2, of course you can also change it to Alt*2 or even Ctrl*3 or any other hotkeys according to your preference.

Open the settings page of hot event to customize the hotkeys. Here we change the default Windows+Space and Ctrl*2 to Ctrl+Space and Alt*2 that toggle the Action Window visible state and the pinned state respectively as a demonstration. In actually experience, you can change to any other you liked hotkeys, and also set hotkey for other functions.

Customizing Hot Corner

The hot corner is a very useful feature, it can be triggered when you move the mouse to the edge of the screen. Here we will demonstrate you open task viewer when the mouse moves to the top right corner and lock screen when the mouse moves to the bottom right corner.

Pining Keyword

In the default tab All, all keywords will be queried and the results will be aggregated displayed, but here has a size limitation. If you wish to focus on a specified keyword to avoid be disturbed by others, or want to see more results, you may need to pin the keyword, such as finding files.

Timer

supports positive timing and negative timing (you can save the negative timing by pressing Enter or double-clicking the mouse)

Batch Renaming Files

When you want to rename a series of files in a fixed format, this function maybe able to solve your troubles. Batch renaming files supports formatting, replacing, inserting and appending text.

Thanks

Okay, that's all the RunFlow fundamental manual, hoping this app will be helpful for you. If you wish to know more, let's see you in the advanced chapter.

We released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, which is similar to PowerToys and Alfred, welcome to try it

Mr.Pan — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 09:57:24 +0000

Hi guys, we released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, please feel free to try it.

RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

Cross Platform

The first main feature is cross-platform. Let you have a unified UI and operation experience when working cross-platform, do not need to switch tools.

But Unfortunately for Linux users, the first edition of RunFlow have some fatal problems on Linux, so, currently, Linux is not supported yet. But we will try more efforts to fix these problems to make RunFlow working fine on Linux, and Linux will get support eventually.

Multiple Languages

RunFlow support multiple languages, but by default, we only have english and simplified chinese. If you prefer to other languages, you can go to our plugin store to find a language translator, after you installed the plugin, you can choose your preferred language.

Customizable Style and Theme

Here we want to introduce you one of our design philosophy is that we allow user to highly customize most things, so we allow plugin to provide one or more window style and theme, to let you choose what you preferred.

Triggered by Keyword

In RunFlow, a function must be provided by keyword, unless some specials, such as language translator, theme provider and data sync service, etc. So likewise, a new keyword always mean a new function, and most of the plugins you installed also consist by keywords.

To use the function of the keyword, the most commonly way is just typing the keyword, if the function don't need any arguments, you can see the result row at the below, then to execute the result you can press Enter (ensure the result row is at the front, if not, you should press Up or Down to active it, or move mouse to hover on it) or double-click the result row.

If the function need one or more arguments, you should type a whitespace to separate the keyword and argument (multiple arguments also use whitespace to separate). For example, typing timer start to start a timer, the timer is a keyword, the start is an argument.

However, if you input start timer is also work, in this case, timer is still the keyword, start is also still the argument, why this situation is ok?

Because we support the postfixed matching, this feature allow you input the arguments first, input the keyword at last, this will be useful in some cases. For example, if you want to encode some literal by base64, you copied or dragged or typed the text as the argument first, but you forgot to type the keyword base64 at the front, if we don't have the postfixed matching feature, you must move cursor to the front, then type keyword base64 and a whitespace to separate keyword and argument, fortunately, we have, you just need to append the keyword after the text (also need a whitespace to separate), such as myrest.top base64 to encode text myrest.top by base64.

The most useful of the postfixed feature is for special keyword. When a keyword starts with symbol not letter or digit, we mark it as a special keyword, and when a special keyword work with postfixed feature, we no longer need to use a whitespace to separate the keyword and the argument.

Right now, let's see an example about the special keyword / that was provided by our plugin Ai Assistant, it can chat with AI, such as ChatGPT. This is very useful when you want to ask some questions, then just type the keyword to trigger the function.

The keyword base64 and / mentioned above are not builtin functions, you can find keyword base64 and / in plugin store.

Don't worry about all of these keywords you may think you should remember them, we have a keyword suggestion function that can infer what you want to do by prefix matching. So you don't need to remember keywords, our suggestion will help you.

Refreshable Result

Through the above examples, you have seen our UI of the result can be refreshed in real time. Let's see another example about the refreshable result: type keyword random to obtain a random string, that returned result is static and immutable, but if the result is unsatisfied to you, you can press Alt to refresh it to get a new random string or click refresh button on the right side.

Context Menu of Result

Context menu of result, we also call it Result Callback Extension. Like you find files in file browser, you can right-click on file, then pop a context menu that show multiple operations. So RunFlow also do it, but not just for files, any other types can also have context menu. And in RunFlow, we use Alt key instead of right-click to pop the dialog.

Let's show you an example by a file, we press Alt to pop the context menu, and then you can press Up or Down to select to you preferred item, then press Enter to execute it, or use mouse double-click it.

We also want to show you another way to present the context menu, only need move the mouse to hover the context menu icon on the right side. Let's look a sample.

Toolbar

A toolbar, that can quickly access functions for your daily usage. In the above examples, you have seen toolbar at the top right. You can customize toolbar at General Settings page.

Pinned Keyword

After pinned a keyword, we will create a new tab to display the keyword, working under this tab, you no longer to type the keyword, and you do not be disturbed by other keywords.

Interoperable UI

The earlier mentioned examples are interactive with a textfield, but if we have much more complex logics and need more user inputs, how to do that? Luckily, we have a feature we call it Func Page, so don't worry about the complicated interaction, like our file batch rename.

Separate Window

If you don't like multiple tabs on our action window, or you don't want to switch between multiple tabs. You can right-click the tab name, then you will see a popped button Run In Separate Window, like this after you executed it.

Hot Event

Hot event is another quickly way to trigger a function of keyword. Currently, we support hot corner, mouse long click event, hotkey and cron expression, you can customize all of these hot events to trigger what functions you want to execute.

Focused Mode

Focused mode is different from pinned keyword, that do not create a new tab, but the same point is they are both don't be disturbed by other keywords. Another point is, focused mode usually required developer to do some additional jobs.

Let's see a commandline example in focused mode (triggered by keyword >).

Data Security and Synchronization

Your data is encrypted and stored locally, we do not upload your data to any clouds. So you do not about the issues about data security.

But if you want to synchronize these data across platforms, it will be a little tedious by our default implementation, see how to synchronize data.

Plugins

We support extending RunFlow functionalities through plugins, and our requirements for plugins are very loosely. So plugin can do much more complicated things, giving plugin unlimited possibilities.

We have a builtin plugin that bundled with RunFlow, that provide many common functions, learn more about our builtin plugin.

Developing Plugin

Here, we want to say something to developers.

To develop a RunFlow plugin is very simple, there is no limitation for programming languages. But because RunFlow is built on Compose Multiplatform which powered by JetBrains, so it would be better if you familiar with Java and Kotlin.

We welcome developers to develop and submit plugins, please see our plugin guide.

Thanks

Thanks for your patience to read this article, if you feel this tool is helpful to you, please help us to spread it, we need your publicity, thanks again.

See our product page, and you can download RunFlow by this link.

If you have any problems, please feel free to give us a feedback, we would love to hear from you.

Thank you all :)
