Show HN: Apcher – Generate self-hosted Node.js workflows from prompts

Interesting concept. Is it open source if one would rather self-host it?

Apcher generates proprietary Node.js code you own and self-host ($59/workflow).

Think "Cursor for backend workflows" — prompt → production ZIP with Watchdog/CI/etc. baked in.

Generator stays at apcher.dev; output = yours forever, no license restrictions beyond standard use. No success tax—you run it 1M times on your infra.

So that's a no on open source right?

Correct—no open source.

$59/workflow → production Node.js you own completely (no license restrictions, run 1M times anywhere). Full export, no host, time, or execution fee. Output = yours forever.
