Elgato Stream Deck XL

As Promised…

I have finally had a chance to “renovate” my setup and make it suitable for public consumption.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to have your next meeting info on your Stream Deck, checkout my new post over at GitHub:

Here’s a little example screenshot. The yellow box shows my next meeting information:

But, to me, the cool part is what happens 30, 15, 10, and 5 minutes before my next meeting:

The changing colors help me spot when a meeting is come up, just in case I have forgotten to set a reminder. (You can choose your own colors if you want different ones.)

My favorite part is that when there are no more meetings left for the day, I get to see Fantastipal smiling at me from that same spot on my Stream Deck:

He’s clearly just as happy as I am when there are no more meetings left!

Checkout the Github repo or download the .zip file and you’ll get all of the files needed to get setup:

  • 8 Keyboard Maestro macros
  • ~120 lines of shell script (plus another 170 lines of comments)
  • a version of icalBuddy that works with Keyboard Maestro
  • a detailed explanation of how it all works
  • instructions on how to set it up on your Mac

I hope this helps someone else. Even if you don’t use this exact setup, maybe it will show you something else you’d like to try.

Enjoy!
