Block Deep-Work Time This Week

For weeks that fill up before Monday ends. DuckyHelper reads your calendar through Google Calendar's own web API, finds the real gaps, and books focus blocks in them, so the time is yours before someone else takes it.

YOU SAY

“Block two-hour deep-work sessions in my open gaps this week.”

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud.

WHERE IT ASKS FIRST

Nothing to send, so it runs straight through.

Nothing in this job sends a message or pays for anything, so it works through to the end and tells you when it's done. If a step ever would, it's built to stop and ask you first.

If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.

Sign in to Google Calendar to keep going

DuckyHelper is built not to type your passwords or card numbers. Sign in yourself, then it picks up where it stopped.

MAKE IT ALWAYS ON

Do it once. Then let it repeat.

When it's done, it offers to keep doing it: every Monday at 9:00 AM. Each run goes through the API it learned the first time, so it's quick, and it's still built to ask before it sends or pays.

Always-on automations are in early access on Mac.

FAQ

Before you ask it.

What do I say?

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Block two-hour deep-work sessions in my open gaps this week."

Why is the second time faster?

The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Google Calendar and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.

Will it send anything without me?

It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.

Why not just do it by hand?

If the calendar shows white space, someone books it. Finding and holding focus time by hand is its own small project.

Can it keep doing this on its own?

Yes. When it's done it offers to make it automatic (every Monday at 9:00 AM). Each run goes the same way and is still built to ask before it sends or pays.

Can I use this today?

Doing jobs in your apps is in early access on Mac. Talking to DuckyHelper, and having it see your screen and draw on it, works today on Mac, Windows and Linux.
