A focused morning read

Market Desk

A clock, one deliberate watchlist, and a short headline selection on an Ink canvas.

For a study or home office in the morning: the time, one deliberate watchlist and a short headline selection on an Ink canvas. It needs a Stocks source with a provider API key; the headlines are optional and can be left unbound. Timestamps and delay labels stay visible, and there are no trading actions.

From the Denframe Library · not part of the app. Add it to your Denframe, or download the file and choose Import a file in Studio → Library. This website does not connect to or control your home.

Add it to your Denframe

Opens Market Desk in your own Denframe's Library, where you choose Get. Only its id is in the link: nothing about your home comes here.

In Denframe: Studio → Library → Get more → Add by id.

  • Denframe in Home Assistant opens only through Home Assistant’s sidebar, which a link can’t reach: copy the id, then in Denframe choose Studio → Library → Get more → Add by id.
  • The desktop app answers only on its own computer (127.0.0.1), at a port that can change: open Denframe from the app, then use Add by id.
  • Your browser opens your Denframe’s address itself. Some browsers ask before a public website opens an address on your home network (Local Network Access): allow it, or use Add by id.
