What it solves

WorkDaddy is an enhancement tool for the WorkBuddy and WorkBuddy AI desktop clients. It addresses limitations in the official app, such as the tedious process of switching between multiple accounts (which usually requires re-scanning QR codes), the lack of automation for repetitive tasks, and the absence of advanced UI customization options.

How it works

It uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to inject a custom interface and functional components into the running WorkBuddy Electron process without modifying the original installation package or binary. A local daemon manages account backups, handles HTTP API requests for the injected components, and monitors login events to ensure session persistence.

Who it’s for

Users of the WorkBuddy and WorkBuddy AI desktop applications who manage multiple accounts, want to automate routine AI interactions, or desire a more customizable and streamlined workspace.

Highlights

• Multi-Account Management: Independent backups for each account allowing one-click switching and encrypted import/export for migrating accounts between computers.
• Task Automation: Create tasks using natural language or JSON to perform actions like daily check-ins or specific message sequences, triggered by events or timers.
• Session Continuity: Automatically resumes AI responses that were interrupted by network fluctuations or timeouts.
• UI Enhancements: Adds a "frosted glass" theme, custom wallpapers, and a prompt staging area to save drafts before sending.
• Workflow Tools: Includes a "do not disturb" mode for permission pop-ups during long AI tasks and a sleep-prevention mode to keep the computer awake until tasks finish.
