Why?

So, I tried the Linak desktop software and, as far as I could tell, it was unusable. It had marketing/gimmicky features I didn't care about and I couldn't actually figure out how to use it. So, I set out to create an app with some usability and utility in mind. It's still a work-in-progress.

  • This is not packaged yet. Maybe within next couple of weeks.
  • Shall not be responsible for anything that falls off your desk, or for any electrical socket damage, or for any other damage that may result from using this software. :)

Features

  • Current height

  • Move to height

Pending

  • Package as app
  • Better tooltips for positions
  • Highlight current position
  • Allow multiple Idasen desks? Currently syncs to devices with "Desk" in name.
  • Better move-to accuracy? Accuracy is currently within .1-.2 of inch, I think.
