What are Apps?

Apps are one of Armox's most powerful features. They let you transform complex Canvas workflows into simple, reusable tools that anyone can use with a single click.

The Problem Apps Solve

The Apps page showing your created Apps ready to run.

Imagine you've created the perfect workflow:

[Text Prompt] → [AI Enhance] → [Image Gen] → [BG Remove] → [New BG] → [Upscale]

It works great, but:

• 😓 You have to open the Canvas every time
• 😓 You need to remember which nodes to edit
• 😓 Team members don't know how to use it
• 😓 It takes many clicks to run

Apps solve this. They turn your workflow into a simple form:

┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│  Product Photo Generator        │
│                                 │
│  Product Name: [___________]    │
│  Upload Photo: [Choose File]    │
│                                 │
│  [✨ Generate]                  │
└─────────────────────────────────┘

What is an App?

How Apps Work

Behind the Scenes

When you create an App:

1. Your Canvas workflow is saved — All nodes, connections, and settings
2. You choose which inputs to expose — What users can change
3. Everything else is hidden — Complexity stays behind the scenes

When Someone Runs the App

1. They fill in the exposed inputs
2. Click "Generate"
3. The full workflow runs automatically
4. Results appear in a clean gallery

App Components

Every App has:

Inputs

The fields users fill in:

• Text inputs — Prompts, descriptions, names
• Image uploads — Photos, references
• Video uploads — Clips to process
• Audio uploads — Sound files

Workflow (Hidden)

Your complete Canvas workflow runs behind the scenes:

• All nodes execute in order
• All settings you configured are used
• Complex processing happens automatically

Outputs

The generated results:

• Images appear in a gallery
• Videos with play controls
• Audio with players
• All downloadable
