Running the Frogtab task manager on Ubuntu

26 Jul, 2024

Frogtab is a browser-based task manager I built to help me stay organized at work. If you want to run your own instance of Frogtab on your computer, you can install a package called Frogtab Local.

Frogtab Local enables you to use Frogtab offline. It also has better support for automatic backups - some browsers don't support the mechanism that frogtab.com uses for automatic backups.

This post explains how to set up Frogtab Local on Ubuntu. If you have a different operating system, get the Frogtab Local snap (Linux only) or install Frogtab Local from source.

To set up Frogtab Local on Ubuntu:

1. Open App Center, then search for Frogtab Local.

2. Select Frogtab Local, then click Install.

   

3. After Frogtab Local has installed, close App Center.

4. Open Startup Application Preferences, then click Add.

   The Add Startup Program dialog box opens.

5. Enter the following details, then click Add:

   • Name - Frogtab
   • Command - frogtab

   

6. Close Startup Application Preferences.

7. Log out, then log in again.

8. Open http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your browser.

   Frogtab is ready to use!
