Hello.

Hello. I use the ‘Manual Backup’ feature of the Pro Account. I do this on my phone, using a browser, at my Checkvist settings web page. Because of the small size of my phone, this is a little awkward. Is there something I can easily enter in the Address/Url bar to start the backup download? Thank you.

    Hello Alan, could you please explain why would you need to do it from the phone? Maybe automated backup to Dropbox would suit you better?

    Kirill Maximov Hi KIR. At this point, I find mobile Checkvist somewhat difficult to use on my phone. I realize it will continue to be developed and I look forward to that. For now, I am using a different tool on my phone to view my Checkvist lists utilizing the OPML data from the manual backup. I often do this soon after I have worked with my lists in the web app so the once daily backup to Dropbox does not happen soon enough. And I often find the need to do this when I am away from my computer. This is why I am using the manual backup on my phone. The functionality of the manual backup is working fine on my phone and I can continue to do that. I was just wondering if there was an easier way. Thanks!

    For me, the automated backup suites well. As always, there are wishes: (a) option for rotating backups (e. g. last 7 days), or (b) include the date in the backup file. If the file name could be specified with placeholders (e. g. backup_YYYY-MM-DD.zip), both cases could be handeled.

    Thanks for the explanation, Alan. The URL you can use is https://checkvist.com/checklists/export_all (you must be logged in into Checkvist for it to work).

    Ralf Hauber Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not sure why do you need backups rotation. Dropbox saves a history of each file for the last 30 days at least, and for the automated backup on our servers, we also store data for the last 30 days.

    Is it what you need?

Any Toggl users here?

Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
