If you candescribeit,you can sequence it.
Seqtrix is a visual automation builder and a full security suite living in one Windows app. Drag actions onto a canvas, wire up the triggers, then let your machine handle the rest - opening apps, encrypting files, the whole thing.
The core is a drag-and-drop canvas where you compose sequences from 9 action types. Chain workflow steps with security primitives and fire the whole thing with a hotkey, a schedule, a file change, or a system event.
Type it in plain English. Watch it become steps.
Not sure how to build a sequence? Write what you want - “open Chrome in incognito, wait 3 seconds, then type my email” - and a small AI model running on your own PC drafts the steps onto the canvas. You review every one before anything runs.
- Runs on your machineA local model does the drafting. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
- No GPU, works offlineAbout a 2 GB one-time download, then it runs on the CPU with no internet.
- You review before it runsSteps are drafted, not executed. Being AI it can be wrong, so you always check.
- It will not fake a stepOnly builds actions Seqtrix supports, leaves out what it cannot map, and never generates a security action.
Optional and off until you turn it on. Powered by a local open model (no account, no cloud). Like any AI it can be wrong or incomplete, which is why every step is shown for review and nothing runs on its own.

A floating ring that lives above all windows. Eight sequence slots arranged in a circle - hover to expand, click to fire. Your most-used automations are always one click away without leaving your current app.
- 8 sequence slotsAssign your most-used sequences to the ring
- Hover to expandRing expands on hover, collapses when you leave

- Opacity & size controlsTune visibility to your preference
Run a sequence by saying its name.
Right-click the Mini Mode ring, choose Voice control, and fire your automations hands-free. Say a sequence by name or by slot number - “run morning boot”, “slot three” - and Seqtrix runs it. No typing, no clicking.
- Built-in offline speechUses the speech recognition already in Windows. No GPU, no download, no account.
- Nothing recorded or sentRecognition happens on the machine. Seqtrix only ever sees the matched command.
- Security sequences stay silentAnything with a security action is never voice-runnable, so a mis-hear can never encrypt or delete.
- Push-to-talk on every planTap to speak one command free on all tiers. Hands-free always-listening is Advanced and Pro.
One password. Total lockdown.
Master Mode protects sensitive sequences and encrypted files behind a single master password. When locked, protected sequences vanish from every view. When unlocked, a countdown timer ensures the vault re-locks automatically.
- Auto-lock timerFixed countdown from unlock (5, 10, 15, 30, 60 min or never). Ticks synchronously across all pages.
- Invisible when lockedProtected sequences disappear from all lists, schedules, and quick-run - not just hidden, gone.
- Auto-protect on createAny sequence created while Master Mode is ON is automatically master-protected.
- .seqlock vault filesEncrypted items become opaque vault files that only Seqtrix can open with the master password.
Set master password
Open Settings (Ctrl + ,) → Security → Set master password. Minimum 6 characters.
Toggle Master Mode
Click the Master Mode button on the home screen. Enter your password to unlock.
Auto-locks on idle
The vault re-locks after your configured timeout. Default is 15 minutes.
Your sequences, everywhere.
Sign in once and your sequences, templates, and settings sync across every machine. Edit on your desktop, fire from your laptop. Encrypted in transit and at rest - your automation library follows you.
- Real-time syncChanges propagate instantly across devices
- End-to-end encryptedYour sequences are encrypted before leaving the device
- Offline-firstWorks without internet, syncs when reconnected
- Selective syncChoose which sequences sync and which stay local
Share sequences. Restore from anywhere.
Load sequences from .seqshare or .json files. Restore from backups, load sequences shared by others, or import sequences downloaded from your cloud account.
When to use import
- •You exported a sequence earlier and want to restore it on this or another machine
- •Someone shared a .seqshare file with you
- •You downloaded a sequence backup from your cloud account
- •You want to create a sequence directly from a JSON file without using the editor UI
Accepted file types
.seqshareRecommendedNative Seqtrix format with versioning and metadata. Created by the Export function.
.jsonStandard JSON following the seqshare envelope schema. Same structure, different extension.

}Six ways to fire a sequence.
Run sequences on a timer, on a hotkey, when a file changes, when an app opens, or when your system goes idle. Combine multiple triggers on a single sequence for maximum flexibility.
One-shot
Run once at a specific date and time.
Cron
Recurring - hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or custom cron expression.
App Launch/Close
Fire when a specific application starts or closes.
Hotkey
Global keyboard shortcut trigger from anywhere.
File Watch
Fire on file create, modify, or delete events - across a whole folder tree, filtered by name or extension.
System Event
Login, idle detection, or return from idle.
Schedules
No events today
When to use which trigger
Triggers aren't interchangeable - each one matches a different shape of work. Pick by intent, not by what's available.
A non-recurring deadline. Birthday reminders, scheduled releases, year-end maintenance.
- •Run a payroll script at 11:59 PM on the 28th
- •Send a "go live" sequence at launch time
- •Encrypt + archive a folder before a flight
Anything that repeats on a clock. The full 5-field cron syntax is supported plus presets for hourly / daily / weekly / monthly.
- •Daily backup at 9 AM weekdays
- •Hourly health check during work hours
- •Monthly invoice generation
Workflow side-effects you want to fire automatically. Mode-switching, automatic prep, automatic cleanup.
- •When Slack opens → set focus mode + dismiss notifications
- •When OBS opens → close Discord, Slack, browsers
- •When VS Code closes → commit + push current branch
On-demand sequences you fire many times per day from anywhere. Mode switches, snippet typing, instant routines.
- •Ctrl+Shift+1 → deep-work mode
- •Ctrl+Shift+F9 → encrypt folder + lock screen
- •F13 → type your email signature
Pipeline-style automations triggered by filesystem events. Downloads, exports, generated reports.
- •New PDF in ~/Downloads → move to Invoices + open
- •Screenshot saved → upload to cloud + copy URL
- •Build artifact updated → deploy to staging
Routines tied to user presence. Start-of-day, end-of-day, away-from-keyboard hygiene.
- •On login → open Chrome + Slack + VS Code
- •On idle > 5 min → lock sensitive folders + pause music
- •On screen unlock → resume music + reopen comms
Cron syntax - quick reference
Standard 5-field cron: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week. Ranges, lists, and step values all work.
| Expression | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 9 * * MON-FRI | Every weekday at 9:00 AM |
| */15 * * * * | Every 15 minutes |
| 0 0 * * 0 | Every Sunday at midnight |
| 0 9-17 * * 1-5 | Every hour from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays |
| 0 9 1 * * | First of every month at 9 AM |
| 30 7 * * * | Every day at 7:30 AM |
When your PC was off
Every schedule picks its own missed-run policy. Backup-style sequences usually want "Run once"; notifications usually want "Skip".
Forget missed runs entirely. The next scheduled occurrence runs as usual. Right for notifications and time-sensitive reminders.
Catch up exactly one missed run on next wake. Right for backups, syncs, and anything where you want the side-effect once but not N times.
Replay every missed run in order. Right for accounting / audit pipelines where each occurrence matters individually.
Notifications + audit log
Every schedule keeps a per-run execution log - timestamp, outcome (completed / failed / skipped), and a per-step trace for failures. Open any schedule's edit panel to scroll through the last runs and click any failed entry to inspect the failing step.
Optional OS toast notification fires when a schedule starts or completes - a quiet confirmation that the 3 AM backup ran without you being awake to watch it. Toggle per schedule; off by default for chatty cron jobs.
The commands you always forget.
ipconfig /flushdns. manage-bde -status. robocopy /MIR. Sixty-plus curated, hard-to-remember Windows commands, organised by intent. Search by what you want, not what it's called. One click drops it into the active Run-Command step.
Every command includes a plain-English description so you can search by what you want to do, not what the syntax looks like. Open the library with Ctrl+L inside any Run Command action step, pick a command, and it inserts directly into your sequence. No copy-pasting from Stack Overflow, no memorising flags.
Watch it run. Read what it found.
Most automation tools tell you a job finished and leave you to guess at the rest. Seqtrix shows you each step as it happens, how long each one took, and turns what the sequence measured into a report you can actually read - inside the app, not in a text file you have to go hunting for.
Step-by-step, live
Every step listed as it runs - finished, running now, still queued - with the time each one took. A long step looks different from a stuck one.
Hide it and carry on
A sequence can legitimately run for half an hour. Close the panel and the run keeps going; reopen it and everything that happened is still there.
Charts, not console dumps
The measuring sequences draw a donut with real percentages and a sortable table - megabytes instead of raw byte counts, minutes instead of processor ticks.
Reports live in the app
No detour through Notepad and no "which app should open this?" prompt. The report appears in the run, with a copy button. The file is still written to disk.
Know when one is waiting
A finished sequence carries a small marker on its report button, so you can see at a glance which runs produced something to read.
A dashboard for the workspace
What failed its last run, what you actually automate, what is scheduled next, and which sequences have gone cold - on one screen.
Example: My PC feels slow checks the four things you would check by hand - memory, processor, free disk, what launches at startup - and tells you that one browser is holding 38% of your memory. It does not print a column of numbers and leave the arithmetic to you.
Smaller things that remove real friction.
Shipped alongside Describe (AI) and voice control, because the unglamorous gaps are what make an automation tool annoying to live with.
A step that runs only when it should.
Give any step a condition and one sequence absorbs the variation, instead of you keeping two near-identical copies and remembering which is which.
Steps stay linear and readable. This is a per-step run condition, not branching and not loops. Flip the toggle to watch step 3 run or be skipped.
Your locked files, in one place.
Every file Seqtrix locks becomes a .sflocked file. They used to live wherever you left them, which meant remembering four folders to find four files.
The new Files view gathers all of them into one browsable list. Nothing moves on disk, so your own folder structure is untouched.
Watch a whole tree, fire on what matters.
File-watch triggers now cover a folder and everything under it, and each schedule filters to the names or extensions it actually cares about.
So an invoice watcher stops firing on every screenshot and stray text file. Turn the filter off to see the old behaviour.
