Frogtab update: weekly routine, export data, and auto-backup
Frogtab is a browser-based task manager I'm building to help keep me focused on my day-to-day priorities. In this post I'll share some recently-added features.
if you've experimented with Frogtab, I'd love to hear your experience! You can contact me here.
Weekly routine
You can now configure a weekly routine in Frogtab. For example, suppose that you'd like Frogtab to remind you to review your important projects each Friday. To configure this, head to frogtab.com/week then enter the action under Fri.
Here's a demo:
After you've configured your routine, Frogtab displays a flag icon to let you know that it will include actions from your routine. (I'm very grateful to Iconoir for the icon!)
In our example scenario, when it gets to Friday, Frogtab will remind you to review your important projects by adding the action to your inbox:
Export data
Thanks to a suggestion from user chiefalchemist on Hacker News, you can now export your data in JSON format.
Frogtab stores all data in your browser; your data is never sent to a server. But if you want to make a backup of your data, you can use the new "Export data" function:
If you don't see "Export data", read on…
Auto-backup
Some browsers are able to directly write to files on your device (via the File System Access API). If your browser supports this feature, you won't see "Export data". Instead, you'll see "Enable auto-backup":
After you enable auto-backup, Frogtab automatically updates your chosen backup file whenever your data changes.
That's all for now 🙂
