Pneumatic: All Workflows all the Time
Pneumatic is an open-source SaaS workflow management system designed to streamline and organize workflows in businesses of any size. Originally developed as a cloud-based platform, Pneumatic empowers teams by enabling them to set up, run, and optimize workflows collaboratively, tracking each stage as tasks move from team to team.
Workflow Templates: Create custom workflow templates and reuse them for repetitive processes. Templates define a series of steps that can be used across multiple workflows.
Multi-Workflow Management: Once templates are set, create multiple workflows from each template and run them in parallel, adapting them as needed.
Task Buckets for Staff: Pneumatic focuses on individual task management, giving each staff member their own bucket of tasks. Staffers can complete tasks efficiently by emptying their buckets one by one.
Automated Workflow Tracking: With automated tracking, Pneumatic provides real-time insight into each workflow’s stage and automates handoffs between teams as tasks progress from step to step.

As a cloud native solution Pneumatic easily integrates with other SaaS systems, either directly through its public API or via third party integration solutions like Zapier

Getting Started
You can grab your own copy of Pneumatic by cloning this repository and self-host it on your machine. Here's a quick start guide:
Prerequisites
Operating System: Linux(Ubuntu/Debian), macOS or Windows(install and run at your own risk)
Configure Pneumatic for external access if necessary
The copy found in the repo is configured to run on localhost.
If you want to access it over the Internet, you need to modify the project.env and frontend.env configuration files by copy-and-replacing all references to localhost in them with the address of your server (IP address or its domain name).
These files are to be found in the config directory within the project directory.
Just open them in your favorite editor and run the copy and replace.
Run Pneumatic
in order to run Pneumatic cd into the web-client folder inside the project's directory and run the command
docker compose up -d
This will launch it in detached mode, give it a couple minutes before navigating to the server's address (or localhost) because some of the containers take a minute or two to load.
Alternatively, you can run the Pneumatic containers from Docker Desktop.
Open Pneumatic and register a free account
Once the containers are up and running go to http://localhost in your browser, register a free account and you're good to go.
