Install & use

Install the local application

Download the single-file Windows x64 executable, or follow the README to build when modifying code. After checking the first frame, enable background task following.

Public source

Windows 10/11 x64 · WorkBuddy · Monochrome NOTE4 · SDK-compatible firmware · Same LAN

The author currently specifies SDK 0.1.0 and firmware 3.7.2. NOTE4C is unsupported; macOS/Linux are unverified. This is a continuously running desktop app, not firmware. We reviewed public documentation only; Windows installation and device operation were not independently tested.

  1. Download or build

    Download the Windows x64 executable from Releases and verify SHA256SUMS.txt. Source builds require Rust MSVC, CMake, Visual Studio C++ Build Tools and the official SDK in a sibling directory. Follow the current README.

  2. Check target and display

    Confirm firmware/SDK compatibility, the same LAN and Wi-Fi retention in standby. Stop other device clients. Run check --target <IP>, wait at least 9 seconds, then push --target <IP> to inspect the display.

  3. Enable and stop following

    Run autostart on --target <IP> to install the current-user startup entry and start following. Check watchdog and daemon status with autostart status. Stop with autostart off; preserve settings and task history when upgrading.

Frequently asked questions

Can the device approve WorkBuddy actions?

No. The device displays reminders; confirmations must be handled on the computer. Up/down selects tasks or pages, and confirm returns to the home view and automatic following.

How is task status read?

It reads status metadata from local WorkBuddy session files, logs and database. This is not a stable official status API, so format changes may require adaptation. Credit balances and billing data are not displayed.
