What Afina is
Afina places profiles, reusable variables, visual flows, Node.js modules, schedules, and a broad local HTTP API in one desktop workspace. Team movement depends on its cloud service.
- Profile model: Profiles carry separate browser state, proxies, variables, tags, groups, bulk actions, tasks, scripts, modules, databases, and documented backups.
- Platforms: Current desktop builds support Windows x64 and macOS on Intel and Apple silicon; Linux is not listed.
- Team model: Workspaces support invitations, configurable permissions, workspace switching, account movement, and transfer through Afina Cloud.
- Automation: Visual flows, custom Node.js modules, schedules, and an API-key-protected localhost API expose profiles, cookies, tasks, logs, CDP, and MCP-linked integrations.
Who Afina fits
A local-first desktop profile platform combining isolated profiles and proxies with visual and Node.js automation, a localhost HTTP and CDP API, and optional team workflows.
- Technical operators wanting bulk profile management with visual and code automation.
- Teams that use scheduled task groups, MCP, and a broad localhost API in one desktop app.
Afina and Isoline
Afina is a close automation-heavy comparison. Isoline may later emphasize owned Chromium lifecycle, narrow versioned contracts, recovery gates, and optional encrypted sync, but those should remain future-tense.
Isoline is in its foundation phase. Its local-first profile model, optional client-side-encrypted synchronization, recovery controls, and versioned automation interfaces are product direction until release evidence says otherwise. No public Isoline pricing or feature parity is implied.
- Compare documented current behavior, not feature-list promises.
- Validate migration, recovery, update freshness, permissions, and automation against the intended workflow.
What to verify before choosing Afina
Official documentation defines the factual starting point. A production decision still needs hands-on testing with authorized profiles, proxies, extensions, failure cases, and team permissions.
- Test task failure, cancellation, retry, and profile recovery paths.
- Confirm workspace transfer, audit, and cloud data-boundary details.
- Validate browser update cadence and API compatibility over upgrades.
