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 13 action types. Chain workflow steps with security primitives, drop in conditional logic, and fire the whole thing with a hotkey, schedule, or any system event.
Always on top. Zero context switching.
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
- 3 themes + custom colorsMatch your desktop aesthetic
- Opacity & size controlsTune visibility to your preference
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.
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.
