Description
To support multi-user environments and remote server deployments, aw-client-js should allow explicit configuration of the server base_url and port.
Currently, the native Windows client achieves this via configuration files in the client's config folder, which enables users to connect to a server running on a different machine or custom port. However, aw-client-js lacks a similar mechanism, making it difficult for browser-based or custom clients to connect to non-default endpoints.
Adding support for custom server URLs in aw-client-js (e.g. via constructor options or environment variables) would bring it in line with the native clients and enable greater flexibility for advanced use cases like:
- Connecting to a centralized ActivityWatch server
- Running multiple clients across devices
- Developing third-party clients or extensions
