We can’t wait to take our work to the next level at Apple and contribute to products that touch people across the world.” “We’ve worked closely with Apple from the very beginning, from kickstarting our company as students attending WWDC to developing and launching Workflow and seeing its amazing success on the App Store. “We are thrilled to be joining Apple,” said Weinstein in a statement.
Deskconnect app free#
In a somewhat uncommon move for Apple, the app will continue to be made available on the App Store and will be made free later today. Workflow the app is being acquired, along with the team of Weinstein, Conrad Kramer, Ayaka Nonaka and Nick Frey. It had built up a sizeable number of users and downloads over the past few years.
It shares some similarity with the service IFTTT, in that it allows people to group together a bunch of actions that can allow them to perform complicated tasks with one tap. Workflow has been around for a couple of years and we’ve covered it and its updates. I’ve been following his efforts since the iPod Linux days and covered his very useful DeskConnect app a few years back. The app was made by a small team that includes Ari Weinstein, a former iPhone jailbreaker. Workflow had raised an unannounced seed round of what we’re hearing was in the range of a couple million from Lowercase, Eniac and General Catalyst. As far as I know it was a solid payday for the team and small upside for investors. I haven’t been able to get financial details for the deal, but if I come up with them I’ll update. We’ve been tracking this one for a while but were able to confirm just now that the ink on the deal is drying as we speak. Apple has finalized a deal to acquire Workflow today - a tool that lets you hook together apps and functions within apps in strings of commands to automate tasks.
