FAQ / Troubleshooting

  • Why am I getting a yellow triangle when pressing the button?
    • Your API Key is likely incorrect
    • If you have clients assigned to your project, make sure they're configured in the Stream Deck
  • Why am I not seeing the running timer on my button?
    • Make sure you haven't set a title, as this will override any other content
    • Make sure the API Key, Workspace name and optional the project and timer name
  • Why does the timer always start with a negative number?
    • This can happen when your local computer time isn't in sync with the Clockify server time
    • Make sure you synchronize your clock with a time server
  • Why does it always take some seconds to show the timer running?
    • Due to API rate limits, there's some magical caching going on, leading to certain delays
  • Why can't I select my Workspace and Project in a dropdown menu?
    • Because I was lazy 😅
  • Where can I find the logs?
    • Windows: %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\dev.duerrenberger.clockify.sdPlugin\Windows\pluginlog.log
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/com.elgato.StreamDeck/Plugins/dev.duerrenberger.clockify.sdPlugin/macOS/pluginlog.log
  • IT DOESN'T WORK, WHY?!?
