Built so your phone
does the boring parts.
smartordercapture is a personal workflow-automation platform for Android. You author the routines on the web; the engine runs them locally on your phone. That's the whole shape.
Most automation tools either talk down to you or talk past you.
IFTTT and Zapier built impressive web automation but never crossed back onto the device. Tasker and MacroDroid are powerful but require you to learn a small programming language. The big "AI agent" tools want to drive your phone for you, opaquely.
We wanted a tool that did three things at once: trust the user, stay local-first, and refuse to cross lines the host platforms set. That last part is unusual — most of this category will run anything you can express. We ship a hard-coded denylist so we can't.
Four principles, written down.
Local-first beats cloud-first.
Workflows execute on your phone, not on our servers. We never see the content of the apps you automate. The cloud handles sync, billing, and the marketplace — not your inputs.
The Accessibility API is for accessibility.
We use it transparently, with an opt-in disclosure flow, and ship a compiled-in denylist of apps we won't operate on. Three layers of enforcement: API, marketplace review, device.
You author. We don't.
No silent screen reading, no inferred actions. Every tap, swipe, and HTTP call comes from a node in a workflow you wrote. The bot doesn't write workflows; the user does.
Pricing isn't extractive.
No per-grab cuts. The Free tier is generous on purpose — three workflows forever, all triggers, all actions. Pro is $9/month if you outgrow it. That's the whole pricing model.
What we won't build, no matter how often we're asked.
We refuse to build for gig-delivery auto-acceptance. We refuse ticket-purchase automation. We refuse ad fraud. The reasoning is the same in each case: those use cases violate the host platform's Terms of Service, exploit our own users by putting their accounts at risk, and (for gig apps) take work from human drivers.
The denylist is open-source within the Android app. Anyone can inspect the APK to confirm what we're refusing. We update it as we learn about new categories of misuse and announce changes in the changelog.
Read the full Acceptable Use Policy →Small on purpose.
We're a small team building a focused product. We do code review, we answer support emails ourselves, and we'd rather ship one thing well than ten things half-finished.
Web, API, Android. We write the code that runs on your phone.
Marketplace moderation, abuse triage, denylist curation. Reviews every paid template before it goes live.
24-hour response SLA on Pro and Team. The engineers handle the hard tickets themselves.
