DWM: DoubleWord Monitor
An unofficial VSCode extension for monitoring batch inference jobs on doubleword.ai. This extension is not affiliated with or endorsed by DoubleWord.
DWM adds a sidebar panel that displays your recent batches with status, progress, error counts, and creation times. Clicking a batch opens it in the DoubleWord web app.
Features
- Sidebar panel showing recent batch jobs in a table with aligned columns
- Color-coded status indicators (green tick for success, yellow warning for partial errors, red for failures)
- Progress tracking showing completed/total requests and percentage
- Auto-refresh every 30 seconds (configurable)
- Manual refresh via the toolbar button
- Click any batch to open it in the DoubleWord web app
Setup
API Key
You need a doubleword.ai API key to use this extension. The key is stored securely using VSCode's built-in secret storage.
- Open the command palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
- Run DWM: Set API Key
- Paste your API key when prompted
The key is stored securely by VSCode and persists across sessions. You only need to do this once.
Alternatively, the extension will also read from:
- The
dwm.apiKey setting in VSCode settings (stored in plain text - not recommended)
- The
DOUBLEWORD_API_KEY environment variable
