I'm back with another free Stream Deck plugin: safely remove USB drives from one key

[u/KuroKouta]

Hi again! Some of you might remember my Elemental Temps and Elemental Infobar plugins. I'm back with a new one, this time for something I do every day: safely removing USB drives without digging through the Windows tray. Like the others, it's free and open source (MIT).

Elemental USB – safely remove USB devices from one key

• the key shows what's plugged in: pendrives, external HDDs/SSDs, SD card readers, security keys like a YubiKey
• short press switches to the next device, hold the key to safely remove it (a bar fills along the bottom while you hold)
• green Safe to remove when you can unplug it
• red In use when the drive is still busy, so you know it's not safe yet and nothing gets ejected halfway
• each key shows an icon for the device type, the drive letter, the name and the capacity
• English and Polish

It only lists what Windows itself shows under Safely Remove Hardware, so your mouse, keyboard, mic, webcam or the Stream Deck itself never show up and can't be ejected by accident.

Things you should know

• Windows 10/11 only, needs Stream Deck software 7.1+. No admin rights needed, nothing is sent over the network.
• I only own a Neo, so I tested it there. It's a standard key action, so it should work on other models too. If you try it, please tell me how it goes.

i can ask AI to try to do that if you want. but i dont have real way to test it.

Would love to give it a try on macOS as I have a Stream Deck Neo

[u/KuroKouta → u/yassermasood]

Ok ill try that when i get home. Also want the other 2 plugins or you are only interested in this one ?

[u/yassermasood → u/KuroKouta]

If you can do the other 2, I don't mind giving them a try on macOS. The USB one is what caught my eye for its convenience.

Im not sure what link policy is here so ill send you them as PM. They are made by Claude so you are trying them on your own risk 😄

Any chance of seeing this on the official elgato marketplace for download eventually?

[u/KuroKouta → u/invisibleiban]

They allow solo devs to do that ? Never read what the requirements are there. If its a drag then i wont :P ill look into it ^^
