Patchbay is a flow editor where messages move between small nodes — inject, transform, route, output. It is the fastest way to glue a sensor to a notification or an API to a spreadsheet.

Worth knowing before you commit:

  • The mental model is wiring, not code — approachable and occasionally limiting.
  • A large community node library covers exotic hardware.
  • Flows export as JSON for versioning and sharing.

The soldering iron of software automation: humble, essential, everywhere.
