v3.0.0

Workit v3.0.0 — Native Go binary

Workit is now a single native Windows executable. No Node.js required.

Install

1. Download workit.exe from the assets below
2. Add it to your PATH
3. Run workit init (or keep using your existing config)

Existing profiles at %APPDATA%\workit\config.json are fully compatible — npm users can switch without re-running setup.

What's new

• Native workit.exe — no Node.js, no npm install
• Same features as v2.4.2 — profiles, presets, launch picker, --skip-pick, --dry-run, v1 config migration
• Detached process launch — apps survive after the CLI exits (Brave, Cursor, Teams, Discord, LoL via Riot Client, etc.)
• Interactive wizard rebuilt with huh — init, add/edit/rename/delete profiles, ← Back navigation

Breaking changes

• npm package deprecated — dookie-workit is no longer the primary install path; use GitHub Releases instead
• TypeScript source removed — development is now Go-only (go 1.22+)

Technical

• CLI: cobra
• Config: viper (JSON in %APPDATA%\workit\)
• Windows spawn: cmd /c start with CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP

Requirements

• Windows 10/11

v2.4.0

v2.4.0 — General-purpose booter
Added

Manual pinned apps on every preset — add Spotify, Notion, or any app by path without needing a folder
Apps folder on work, school, games, minimal, and blank — pick from .json, .exe, or .lnk files at launch
← Back on more wizard steps (checkboxes, paths, URLs)
Fixed

Blank preset no longer saves an empty profile — wizard walks you through adding apps
False red ✗ on launch — Discord, LoL, etc. show green ✓ when they actually start
Work/school profiles blocked — empty apps folders no longer prevent launch; picker only runs when items exist
Copy reframed from game-only to general “apps” language
v2.4.1 — Pinned-only profiles launch again
Fixed

workit luke and other minimal/work/school/blank profiles no longer fail with “no pickable apps” when they only have pinned apps (e.g. browser)
Replaced --no-pick with --skip-pick (cac was forcing pick mode on every launch)
Changed

Wizard no longer shows a redundant “Enter a value” step before profile name, app path, and folder path
v2.4.2 — Safer reset
Changed

workit reset and init Full re-setup now ask twice before wiping your config

v2.3.1

Workit v2.3.1
Bug-fix release for game launches and browser windows.

Fixes
League of Legends no longer fails with spawn EPERM

LoL now opens through the Riot Client (same as Valorant), not by calling LeagueClient.exe directly
Workit also finds Riot Client at the usual install path: C:\Riot Games\Riot Client
More reliable app launching on Windows

Apps now launch the same way as double-clicking a shortcut (cmd start), which avoids permission errors on protected installs (Riot, Program Files, etc.)
Browser opens your profile URLs in a separate window

Spotify, Facebook, TFT Academy, and other profile URLs should open in a new window with just those tabs, not mixed into your existing browser window
Update
npm install -g dookie-workit

v2.3.0

Workit v2.3.0
One command to open your session, work, school, or games, without remembering extra flags.

What's new
Smarter launch

Run workit games and your always-on apps (Discord, browser, etc.) open right away
If you set up a games folder or catalog, you'll get a checklist to pick what else to open, no --pick needed
Use workit games --no-pick when you only want the pinned apps today
Easier setup

New School preset: browser, comms, and Google Classroom link
Setup wizard speaks plain language: work, school, games, not game-specific jargon
Add another profile anytime with workit init → Add a new profile
Handy commands

workit list → see your profiles
workit default school → choose which profile runs when you type plain workit
Install / update

npm install -g dookie-workit
