Worker mode and the tray menu

For QA leads, testers and admins2 min readUpdated for v4.0

When this computer is paired, a small part of KaDeep, the desktop worker, takes work for the agents. Its tray icon lets you pause it, stop it, and see what it is doing.

Before you start: pair this computer.

Choose the KaDeep Studio Pro icon in the notification area, at the right of the taskbar. It may be under the ^ arrow.

The menu is headed KaDeep Studio Pro desktop worker, followed by its state, such as Online or Busy · 1 session, and the project it is paired with.

Item What it does
Pause worker Takes no new work. Running sessions finish. The state reads Paused.
Resume worker Takes work again.
Stop all sessions Stops every agent session on this computer at once.

Show window Brings back the KaDeep Studio Pro window.
Quit Closes the app and the worker.

A shared Mac mini or test PC can work for a project with no one at it. Worker mode runs only the tray icon and the on-screen overlay, with no main window.

  1. Install KaDeep Studio Pro on the spare computer and pair it with the project.
  2. On a Mac, allow the permissions.
  3. Start the app with the --worker option, for example from a login script, so it starts as a worker after every restart.
  4. Keep the computer awake and signed in.

Your IT team can set this up once for each shared machine.
