Getting started

Open Worktray, create files, and let their extensions select the right editor.

Worktray is designed to remove creation ceremony. Open the app and start typing or pasting immediately.

Open the app

Section titled “Open the app”

Visit worktray.io. A new workspace starts with untitled-1.md, ready for input.

Choose an editor with the filename

Section titled “Choose an editor with the filename”

Rename a file with the extension that matches your content:

  • payload.json opens the JSON Raw/Tree editor.
  • request.curl opens the cURL Edit/Fields editor.
  • notes.md opens the Markdown Edit/Preview editor.
  • diagram.svg opens the SVG Raw/Design editor.

Worktray does not store a hidden editor type on the file. Renaming the extension changes which bundled editor opens it.

Section titled “Keep related work together”

Use folders and trays to keep the pieces of one problem together: the request, its payload, notes, code snippets, and any supporting assets.

Saving

Section titled “Saving”

There is no Save button. On the web, Worktray writes changes to IndexedDB in your browser. On Mac, a folder-backed tray writes through to the selected folder.
