Apple has acquired Workflow, an automation app for iOS that lets you connect apps and create quick shortcuts to actions like texting a contact to let them know you’ll be late for your appointment, find a convenience store near you, make PDFs from Web pages and record an audio note to yourself that’s accessible in the Reminders app.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Interestingly, Apple isn’t killing off the product; in addition to adding the Workflow team of three into its fold, it’s also making the tool available for free.
