awork for Stream Deck: Keep Tasks and Time in View
We originally built the Raycast integration to make searching and logging time in awork faster for ourselves. As it turned out, it helped quite a few others, too. Next, we wanted to keep the most useful information visible at all times, so we could stay on top of our time entries and new tasks.
Since we’re big fans of the Elgato Stream Deck, bringing the two together felt like a natural next step. The customizable controller with its small display keys puts awork information right on your desk.
Tracked Time, Right on the Key
Tracked Time Today shows how much work time you’ve already logged in awork today. The plugin compares that time with your configured daily working hours and displays your progress directly on the key.
It’s especially useful when, between meetings and project work, you find yourself wondering: have I logged everything for today? A glance at the Stream Deck gives you a quick overview, and pressing the key takes you straight to the relevant view in awork.
Your Tasks at a Glance
How many tasks are still open? Have any new ones come in? The Task Count action displays the number of tasks directly on a Stream Deck key. You can choose from three personal views, New Tasks, My Tasks and Private Tasks, or give each view its own key.
Setup & Download
The plugin runs on macOS and Windows. To get started, create an API client in awork; this may require admin permissions. You’ll find each step in our setup guide. Then choose which information appears on each key. You can set the refresh interval for each key individually.
You can find the plugin in the official Elgato Marketplace and install it on your Stream Deck for free. Enjoy, and may your time entries and tasks always be in view!
This is the first in a series of Stream Deck plugins we’ve developed and published for professionals and ourselves. Also available:
- Web Analytics for Stream Deck, which displays website metrics from the popular, GDPR-compliant analytics services Matomo, Plausible and Fathom.
- Feed Key for Stream Deck, our take on a feed reader for Elgato’s hardware controller. A badge lets you know about new content in RSS and Atom feeds, YouTube channels, GitHub releases and podcasts, and pressing the key opens the source.
We’ll take a closer look at these here on the blog soon.
