How do I add an application to my Station?

Click on the + in the bottom-left corner and search for it.

Station currently supports more than 400 apps & extensions. You can access the exhaustive list inside Station or here.

To add an application just follow these 3 steps:

  • Click on the "+" icon on the bottom-left corner of the screen to open the app-store.
  • In the app-store, search for your app either by sifting through the categories or by typing its name.
  • Once you've find your app, click on the "+" icon near its name and voilà! It will directly populate your dock on the left. You can drag and drop it up or down as you wish.

If you have a web-app that's missing, you can easily request it from within Station. We’ll implement requests by popularity order every month & you’ll be notified with an in-app tooltip after each new release.

Just bear in mind that only web-apps are supported: mobile or desktop apps aren't. The rule of thumb is: if you can't access it from your computer's browser, it won't be integrated to Station.


Can I prevent certain links from installing the corresponding app in Station?

Yes, we prompt you upon each click that triggers an app installation

In Station, clicking on a link to an app that is supported but not added yet, will trigger a prompt asking you if you wish to add the concerned app to your Station or not.

This gives you more control over your workflow as you can choose which apps to use in Station, and which ones in your browser.


How many applications are available within Station?

We currently support 400+ web-apps & extensions.

We currently support more than 400 apps & extensions. Bear in mind that only web-apps are supported: mobile or desktop applications aren't. Basically, if you can't access it from your computer's browser, it won't be integrated to Station.

You can find the exhaustive list of integrated apps/extension:

  • Online, on this website.
  • Inside Station, in the app-store (the "+" icon in the bottom-left corner).

If you have a web-app that's missing, you can easily request it from within Station. We’ll implement requests by popularity order every month & you’ll be notified with an in-app tooltip after each new release.


Why don't you allow me to access any website?

Because for browsing, we'll never be better than your browser.

At Station, our sole purpose is to ease your workday.

We want to offer a 10x superior experience when it comes to getting work done. To achieve this, we need focus & determination as we can't build a delightful product if our resources are scattered.

That's precisely why we don't support non-work related applications such as newspapers, streaming platforms, etc. We understand that refusing to add some heavily used apps might create a bit of frustration, but we do not aim to entirely replace the web browser.

Station is and will always be a distraction free, highly efficient work platform designed to maximise your focus and productivity 😊

Now go on & build something great!


Can I use extensions inside Station?

Yes you can, but only a few of them are supported.

Because they're technically hard to implement, we currently support only a handful amount of extensions:

  • MixMax
  • Clearbit
  • Gmelius
  • MailTracker
  • Boomerang

To use any of them, just add it from the app-store and refresh Gmail by double clicking on its icon. If it's still not working, restarting your Station should do the job.

If you don't find your extension, you can easily request it from within Station. We’ll implement requests by popularity order every month & you’ll be notified with an in-app tooltip after each new release.


Can I add a desktop or mobile application to Station?

No you can't and it's not planned.

Station is entirely dedicated to web applications: mobile or desktop applications are not supported. The rule of thumb is: if you can't access it from your computer's browser, it won't be integrated to Station.

If you have a web-app that's missing, you can easily request it from within Station. We’ll implement requests by popularity order every month & you’ll be notified with an in-app tooltip after each new release.


How do I request an application or extension that is not yet in Station?

Search for it in Station's app store & hit the request button.

We currently support more than 600 web-apps & extensions. You can access the exhaustive list inside Station or here.

To request an app or extension that isn't there:

  1. Open Station's app-store (the "+" icon in the bottom left corner)
  2. Enter the name of the desired app/extension in the search input
  3. If it's not available, a "request" button will appear: click on it!

We’ll implement requests by popularity order every month & you’ll be notified with an in-app tooltip after each new release.

Bear in mind that:

  • Only web-apps are supported: mobile or desktop applications aren't. The rule of thumb is: if you can't access it from your computer's browser, it won't be integrated to Station.
  • Extensions are technically much harder to implement and will probably require a bigger delay.

You're the best 😉


How do I remove an application from my Station?

Hover on the app's icon and click on the gear on the top-left corner of the sub-dock.

To remove an app from the dock:

  1. Hover over the app's icon in the dock
  2. Click on the "cog" button at the top-right corner of the sub-dock
  3. Un-toggle each account or click on the "remove application" button.

We're going to improve this specific design element in the next release as quite a few users seem dissatisfied with it.
