Frogtab update: Improved keyboard shortcuts and new offline version
Frogtab is a browser-based task manager that helps me prioritize my daily work. I recently released the following changes:
- You can now use Ctrl+X or ⌘+X to cut tasks, even if no text is selected.
- You can now use Ctrl+A or ⌘+A to select all tasks, even if your cursor isn't in the task editor.
I also updated Frogtab Local, the version of Frogtab that you can run on your computer:
- Replaced the
frogtabcommand (provided by the Linux snap) by an entirely newfrogtabcommand. Instead of starting Frogtab Local,frogtabnow sends tasks to Frogtab. To start Frogtab Local, runfrogtab start. - Published a Python package that also provides the new
frogtabcommand, as an alternative to the Linux snap. - Auto-backup is now enabled by default.
- Removed the ability customize backup methods with Python code. You can use the new
frogtabcommand to control the location of the Frogtab backup file. To learn more, runfrogtab help.
To get Frogtab Local, install the Linux snap or install the Python package.
It's been a while (6 months!) since I last posted about Frogtab. I haven't had a huge amount of time to work on it - but the app itself has been pretty stable for a while now. The new version of Frogtab Local is also much closer to "finished", so I'm not planning any major updates in the near future.
As usual, please let me know if you find Frogtab useful, or if you have any other feedback. Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out with notes of support ☺️
