Hotdesker is a browser extension designed to streamline the process of booking hot desks through the WeWork member portal. It enables users to plan their week by selecting specific days on a calendar and assigning different locations for each day. Once configured, the extension automates the booking process, handling each reservation sequentially and displaying a live progress bar with per-day status updates.
Among its features, Hotdesker allows users to set favorites, mirroring the favorites functionality found in the WeWork app. Bookings can be stopped at any time, and the extension provides options for both single-day cancellations and bulk-cancelling multiple reservations at once. This flexibility is intended to simplify managing desk bookings for users who need to coordinate varying schedules and locations.
The extension is available for Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other Chromium-based browsers via the Chrome Web Store, as well as for Firefox through Mozilla Add-ons. It is distributed as an open-source project under the MIT license, with the source code hosted on GitHub. Hotdesker emphasizes privacy, stating that no data leaves the user's machine.
The tool is hand-built and served from GitHub Pages. Its focus on automating and simplifying the WeWork desk booking process positions it as a productivity tool for users who frequently reserve hot desks across multiple locations.
