Asana Customizations with TamperMonkey

TamperMonkey (tampermonkey.net) is a chrome extension that allows you to customize websites using post-load Javascript/CSS. I use it for hundreds of websites, including Asana.

If you install TamperMonkey, you can then create your own scripts, or install scripts from other users. I have created a script for Asana that allows you to:

  • Hide the Harvest Icon
  • Hide that pesky notification in the bottom-left of the window (or move them to the bottom-right)
  • Hide portfolios/goals if you do not use them
  • Customize your background image
  • Expand the sidebar and make it wider (great for reading long project titles!)
  • Auto-show the “Show more projects” area in the sidebar

And I’m always adding to it as I see fit for myself (open to suggestions!).

You can install it by first installing TamperMonkey, then going to the following URL to install the Asana script: Asana Updates - WF

Even better, you can customize which modifications you DO or DO NOT want by editing the top section of easy-to-read code (changing true/false values).

It’s been really useful for me and, hopefully, it can be useful to you all as well.

Enjoy!

Cool stuff,

Inspired with your idea to make my life easier with Tampermonkey,
I decided to write a plugin script to sort workspaces in Asana menu.

How to install the script:
1). Install Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey browser extension
2). Click the
https://gist.github.com/SergeAgeyev/50d0b6ad0dd673d646c53f9a29c28e13/raw/sort_workspaces_in_asana_menu.user.js
Then, review the source (if you want) and confirm the installation.

How I have my workspaces sorted and my old postponed projects on top of my list are not demotivating me anymore :slight_smile:

For Experts:
The source can be found as GitHub Gist:

Nice, @Serge_Ageyev! You might want to mention here what you showed in the other thread where you just posted - that one can drag and drop to set the order of workspaces! At first when I read your post above, I thought, “Why did he need to write this? Asana just introduced a change so that workspaces are sorted alphabetically.” Then I came across the other thread where you highlighted the drag-and-drop capability, and I said “ohhhh now THAT’S cool!”

Great add! Works like a charm!

Thanks! Just in case, here is the workspace menu custom soft with Drag-n-Drop plugin screenshot:
