Feature request: Deeplink app URLs to start/stop recording

[deanputney]

It'd be nice to be able to script Dayflow from other applications. A quick and easy way to do this is to expose URL handlers for deeplinking: e.g. dayflow://start-recording.

See the Focus app documentation for an example of this done well.

I use this to start/stop Focus sessions with a Shortcuts automation. This would also allow users to do things like set up global hotkeys or other processes without further developer action. It's very effective and useful!

Interesting, didn't know about this! Doesn't look too difficult to implement. Will take a look

[deanputney]

Yes, it's pretty easy! Here's the Apple docs for it: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/defining-a-custom-url-scheme-for-your-app
