📡 Scan — surface what matters
Scanners are named, scheduled AI scans that you configure with custom prompts. Each scanner runs on its own schedule and surfaces items ranked by urgency: Critical, Elevated, or Observe. Items include a summary, the people involved, source links, and suggested next steps.
📌 Track — monitor what you care about
Enable monitoring on any item, or add a custom tracked item directly to a scanner. FlightDeck monitors items on a schedule you configure — by interval, day/time, or one-time — and notifies you via desktop toast when it detects net-new data.
📋 Brief — prepare for every meeting
Generate AI-powered briefings for your upcoming meetings. Each briefing surfaces key updates, decisions needed, top risks, a talk track, and follow-ups — all sourced from your real M365 activity.
macOS:
Download the latest .dmg from GitHub Releases, open it, and drag FlightDeck to Applications.
Build from source
git clone
cd FlightDeck
npm install
npm start # builds the renderer then launches Electron
On first launch, click Enable WorkIQ in the connect banner — FlightDeck auto-accepts the EULA and connects. Once connected, a Radar scan and calendar refresh run immediately.
> [!NOTE]
> On macOS, FlightDeck looks for workiq and node in /opt/homebrew/bin, /usr/local/bin, and /usr/bin. If you installed Node or WorkIQ to a non-standard location, ensure they are in your PATH.
Build installers
npm run dist # Windows MSI
npm run dist:mac # macOS DMG
npm run dist:linux # Linux AppImage + deb
Build output goes to the dist/ directory.
Demo Mode
Demo mode loads synthetic fixture data so you can explore FlightDeck without a WorkIQ connection or Copilot license.
npm run demo # launch with cached demo data
npm run demo:reseed # regenerate fixtures, then launch
Demo mode is read-only — scanners and monitoring are disabled.
All application state is persisted via electron-store (JSON files in the OS user-data directory), accessed from the renderer through IPC calls to the main process.
