Edit:
We got a lot of questions, so I'm adding the frequently asked ones here:
If you have more questions, please share them in the community: https://community.getstation.com/
> Where can I find the installer?
On https://getstation.com/ click "Download". No email required.
> Cool, but these apps keep all apps open using RAM and CPU.
Definitely, but, in Station, we addressed this issue! We idle applications you have not used for some time and pop it again as soon as you need it. That's transparent for the user, but it definitely has a positive impact on RAM and CPU!
> Can you expand on what kind of privacy you have for this app?
Except few telemetric data that helps in the development of the product, everything stays local. Naturally, all the applications running in Station (Slack, Gmail..) have their own privacy model.
You can read more in our privacy policy note: https://station.slite.com/public...
> Do you support multi-account?
Yes we do, just add an app for the second time and it will let you connect it with a second account.
> It looks like a very good idea, but I wanted to know what will be the business model before investing time in it?
The Station app is free. We are currently testing "Station for teams" with some pilot companies. It includes specific features that will be part of paid plans.
> How can I suggest an application to be included in Station's app store?
To suggest a new application, you can type the name iof the application n the "app store" search and click "request".
> What OS do you support?
Mac and Windows. Linux is coming.

Hi everyone! 👋
First off, big thanks to @ldesserrey for hunting us! 🚀
Station is a free desktop app that centralizes all your work applications in one neat interface. Think of it as a super efficient workspace for all your web tools.
We want to give you a snapshot into what we think the future of work will look like & hopefully build it together with you ! ;)
We realise we still have a long way to go but our team has been working round the clock on this ambitious product for the past year & we're really excited to hear what you think 🤗 !
We'll be here all day to answer any questions you might have, so ask away!
Cheers! 🍻

@al3xstrat great work! Already loving it! Is there a place to vote on new app intergrations? Would love to be able to access Webflow from Station ✌
Hey @galimotion we's are adding a form in the Station app-store. In the meanwhile don't hesitate to mention it in the support chat (bottom left chat icon).
I noted Webflow!
@imatincr definitely a recurring question with this kind of app indeed. But, we addressed that problem.
We idle applications you have not used for some time and pop them as soon as you need one of them. That's transparent for the user, but it definitely has an impact on RAM and CPU!
So, try it, and let us know how it feels! :)
@imatincr For Slack notifications, we actually put in place exceptions to this rule: for notification-intensive apps (like Slack) we don't put them to sleep. We are working on supporting the Push API [1] that would allow us to kill the interface but keep the notifications popping-up. Some SaaS, like Intercom, use this API already.
Regarding Chromium updates, we are now dependent on Electron [2] for this. The awesome electron team (real kudos to them) announced [3] that Electron's Chrome major versions are updated within 1 or 2 weeks after the release of Chrome major version. That being days, when there is a security fix on a Chromium version, the fix is ported to Electron within days. It happened recently.

@ldesserrey@al3xstrat OK so a bunch of us were very excited to try it out and think it's great. Loads apps very quickly and doesnt bog down CPU.
The only issue is the following: the same login does not load your apps on another device.
For example, I installed it on laptop and spent about 20 minutes adding apps to Station.
I went on my Desktop and expected to be able to login and have these apps pre-loaded.
Any plans to add this feature soon?
@amrith even more interesting suggestion! We considered it, but the adoption of Chrome OS / Chrome Books is limited, even more in the business world. Windows and Mac are more common. (I think Chrome OS / Chrome Books are more common in the education world.)

If you have endless Chrome windows filled with tabs that you find impossible to organise, get Station. I went without it after changing companies and fell into that trap again, so had to get back onto Station.
Apps I currently use in Station:
Gmail
Google Drive
Google Calendar
Google Keep
Skype
JIRA
Asana
Prodpad
GA
Google Optimize
Hotjar
Pingdom
AWS Root Console
Pocket
Slack
Bitbucket
Expensify
Just updated to the new version - holy cow... duper sexy!! Quick question @Station team: how do I access the quick shortcuts? in Station Home? also, is the Focus mode new? Just noticed, this is gonna step up my work-game!!! 🔥 💪 🚀
@johnalxndr yes we recently shipped the support for Gmail extensions. We are actively trying to sort things up on these. Let us know your feedbacks and bug reports!
Report
@al3xstrat any chance you have plans to add prosperworks gmail extension? I see you have mixmax but we also use prosperworks
Office 365 isn't working.
The apps open in a new tab/window on Chrome, which I think is the issue. So you log into 365, and can't go any further in the Station app.
Any ideas?
Oh shott @theashtube ! OK, let us try to solve this. I let you know
Report
@al3xstrat Thanks - that's my main email app for work, so fixing that one would mean I spend 50% of my day in Station :D
Report
@al3xstrat I found a workaround. The main buttons on the middle of the page open in a new tab, but if you click the icon in the top left, and choose Mail from there, it opens in the same tab, so it works inside Station. :) Just thought I better let you know that!
