Hotdesker

A browser extension (Chrome and Firefox) that lets you bulk-book hot desks for the week (or month) ahead in a single click. Built for WeWork's member portal.

The official WeWork web app and mobile app only let you book one day at a time. If you book five days a week you click through the same forms five times. Hotdesker replaces that with: tap days on a calendar, pick a location for each, click Start.

Features

• Calendar-first. Tap a day, pick a location, repeat. Different locations on different days are no problem.
• Bulk cancel existing bookings — tap one day for single cancel, or enter Select mode to cancel several at once.
• City switching. Auto-detects from your most recent booking on first run; persists your choice afterwards. Works wherever WeWork operates.
• Server-synced favorites. The hearts in the location picker mirror what you've favorited in the WeWork app. Toggle in either place; both stay in sync.
• Dry-run mode. Calls the quote endpoint but skips the booking. Useful for sanity-checking your day picks before committing.
• Live progress. Bar + per-day status as the run proceeds. Stop button works mid-run.
• Existing bookings are visible as amber dots on the calendar; they can't be re-assigned (no double-booking).

How it works

Three calls per day:

1. GET /workplaceone/api/spaces/get-spaces — find an available space at the chosen location for that date.
2. GET /workplaceone/api/common-booking/inventory-details — get the bookable space's pricing and IDs.
3. POST /workplaceone/api/common-booking/quote — validate the booking.
4. POST /workplaceone/api/common-booking/ — create it.

Bookings are verified post-run by re-fetching the upcoming list and matching against the requested dates.

Auth is via the JWT WeWork stores in localStorage after login. The extension reads it from the live page rather than asking you to paste it.

Install

Chrome: Install from the Chrome Web Store.

Firefox: Install from Mozilla Add-ons (listing pending review for the first release; check the GitHub Releases page for a signed .xpi in the meantime).

Or, to run from source:

Chrome:

1. Clone or download this folder.
2. Visit chrome://extensions.
3. Enable Developer Mode.
4. Click "Load unpacked" and pick the folder.

Firefox:

1. Clone or download this folder.
2. Run npx web-ext run from the folder — launches a temporary Firefox profile with the extension loaded.
3. Or, to load it manually: visit about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, click "Load Temporary Add-on…", and pick manifest.json.

Privacy

No data leaves your machine. The extension talks only to members.wework.com, using the same auth as the page you're already logged into. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party endpoints.
