Overview

The ondoki Desktop app is a Windows application built with .NET 9 / WPF. It runs in the background and captures user actions — clicks, keystrokes, window switches — as individual steps with screenshots.

​
Installation

  1. Download the latest release from GitHub Releases
  2. Install the application
  3. Launch and connect to your ondoki server

​
Connecting to Your Server

The desktop app authenticates using OAuth 2.0 PKCE:
1

Enter Server URL

Open the desktop app and enter your ondoki server URL (e.g., https://app.yourdomain.com).
2

Authorize

The app opens your browser to the ondoki login page. Log in with your credentials.
3

Grant Access

After authentication, the browser redirects back to the desktop app with an authorization code.
4

Connected

The app exchanges the code for access and refresh tokens. It’s now connected and ready to record.
The PKCE flow ensures the desktop app never sees your password. Tokens are stored locally and refreshed automatically.

​
Recording a Workflow

  1. Start recording — click the record button or use the keyboard shortcut
  2. Perform your workflow — the app captures each action as a step
  3. Stop recording — click stop or use the keyboard shortcut
  4. Upload — the recording is uploaded to your ondoki server
Each step captures:
  • Screenshot of the active window/screen
  • Click position (global and relative coordinates)
  • Window title and size
  • Action type (click, keystroke, scroll)
  • Key pressed or text typed (for keyboard actions)
  • Timestamp

​
After Upload

Once uploaded, the workflow appears in your ondoki project. If an LLM is configured, ondoki automatically:
  • Generates a descriptive title
  • Creates a summary
  • Suggests tags
  • Annotates each step with a title and description
  • Generates a complete guide in Markdown
The desktop app can use context links to surface relevant documentation based on the user’s active application and window title. This enables contextual help — the right workflow appears at the right time.

​
Real-Time Notifications

The desktop app connects via WebSocket to receive real-time notifications from the server (e.g., when processing completes, when new content is shared).

​
Requirements

  • Windows 10 or later
  • .NET 9 Runtime
  • Network access to your ondoki server
