Workflow OS

🚀 the ultimate workflow optimization system — enterprise-grade profile management that doesn't suck.

built this because switching between development, design, and analysis workflows manually is painful. no bloated software, no subscription nonsense, no system slowdowns — just pure optimization goodness with intelligent context switching that actually works.

✨ what you'll get:

• 🎯 intelligent profile switching — automatically adapts when you launch VS Code, Photoshop, Excel, or any major app
• 🤖 smart process optimization — AI-powered CPU priority, memory management, and resource allocation
• 📱 5 built-in profiles — developer, designer, analyst, writer, and hybrid with ML-based adaptation
• 🛡️ enterprise security — ISO 27001/NIST CSF compliance, TPM validation, BitLocker integration
• 🎨 context-aware services — Windows services automatically start/stop based on your current workflow
• 🔍 real-time monitoring — WMI-based process detection with intelligent context analysis
• 💎 git-style rollbacks — complete system snapshots with granular restoration capabilities
• 🆓 always free — no subscriptions, no telemetry, no enterprise licensing fees
• ⚡ blazing fast — optimized PowerShell with minimal system impact
• 📱 comprehensive auditing — enterprise-grade logging with SIEM integration

🚀 getting it running:

⚡ quick deploy

clone and go

# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/workflowos.git C:\Development\workflowos
cd C:\Development\workflowos

# fire it up with developer profile
.\WorkflowOS.ps1 -Profile Developer

# or enable automatic switching
.\WorkflowOS.ps1 -Profile Developer -EnableAutoSwitching

enterprise deployment

# deploy to multiple machines
$computers = @("WS001", "WS002", "WS003")
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computers -ScriptBlock {
    C:\workflowos\WorkflowOS.ps1 -Profile Developer -EnableCompliance
}

🔧 requirements

you'll need these to get optimization working:

• PowerShell 7.3+ (required for modern features)
• Windows 10/11 with admin privileges
• 4GB+ RAM for optimal performance
• SSD recommended for faster snapshots

📊 other deployment options

works perfectly on:

• domain-joined machines (with GPO integration)
• standalone workstations
• virtual machines and docker containers
• Azure VMs, AWS EC2, Google Cloud

💻 local development:

requirements: PowerShell 7.3+ and admin rights

# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/workflowos.git
cd workflowos

# test the system
.\Tests\Run-AllTests.ps1

# run with debug mode
$env:WORKFLOWOS_DEBUG = "1"
.\WorkflowOS.ps1 -Profile Developer -Verbose

# create custom profile
New-WorkflowProfile -Name "Gamer" -Template "Performance"

open Windows Terminal as admin and start optimizing! 💻

🔧 how it's built:

PowerShell because it works. YAML because JSON is ugly. WMI because Windows APIs are solid.

profiles trigger based on process detection. optimizations applied through native Windows APIs. rollbacks use registry snapshots and service state tracking.

📚 tech stack:

• runtime: PowerShell 7.3+ with .NET 8
• config: YAML files + registry integration
• monitoring: WMI events + performance counters
• security: TPM validation + BitLocker integration
• compliance: ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOX, HIPAA frameworks
• logging: structured JSON + Windows Event Log
• deployment: GPO-ready + domain management
• testing: Pester v5 + integration tests
• ci/cd: GitHub Actions + enterprise pipelines

🎨 design philosophy:

• enterprise-first with home user simplicity
• performance over features
• security without compromise
• complete reversibility
• zero-telemetry architecture
