What it is, where your work is stored, and what we can and cannot see.
What is QuestLog?
A simple task board. Make your own lists, drag cards between them, all in your browser. Nothing to install.
Do I need to sign up?
No. No sign up, no email, no password.
What does it cost?
Nothing.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Any modern browser, and it adapts to small screens.
Can I use it like an app, not a website?
Yes. Add it to your home screen and it gets its own icon and opens full screen, with no browser bars. It looks and behaves like an installed app.
iPhone. In Safari, tap the three dots, then Share, then Add to Home Screen. Leave Open as Web App switched on, then tap Add.
Android. In Chrome, tap the three dots, then Add to Home screen.
On iPhone it also keeps your work safe from Safari's 7 day clear out, described below.
Where is my work stored?
Only in the browser on your device. Nothing is sent to us and we keep no copy. It leaves your browser only when you export it yourself.
Will my work still be there later?
Yes. Closing the browser or restarting will not remove it. It goes if you clear this site's browser data, or use a private window that clears itself.
Safari has one extra rule. If you do not open a site for 7 days, Safari deletes what it stored, and that includes your projects. Add QuestLog to your home screen and it is exempt, which is the simplest way to keep it. Chrome, Edge and Firefox do not do this.
Since your browser holds the only copy, export a backup now and then.
How do I back up my projects?
Export, the down arrow in the bottom right, and choose JSON. That saves everything: projects, cards, descriptions, checklists and comments. On a phone, Export is in the three dots menu.
What can I export?
.ics of unfinished deadlines, for Google, Apple
or Outlook.How do I move my projects to another browser or device?
Export JSON on the first, Import on the second.
Can I import from another app?
Yes. JSON and CSV, from tools like Todoist, Trello, Asana, Notion, or a spreadsheet.
Common column names are matched for you: Card Name, Name, Task and Content become the title, List and Column become the list, and Due Date, Labels and Notes find their own fields.
A Todoist CSV needs no editing. Sections become lists, notes become comments, and priorities are flipped, since Todoist counts them the other way round.
JSON replaces everything, because it is a backup. CSV merges, so existing cards are updated rather than duplicated.
Can I use it on two devices?
Yes, by moving a copy. Your work sits in each browser on its own and nothing copies itself across, so Export on one and Import on the other.
Tabs in the same browser share your projects, and each tab can be on a different one.
I deleted something by mistake.
Undo, the arrow in the bottom left, or beside the three dots on a phone. It brings back deleted cards and remembers your last five changes.
What do P1 to P4 mean?
Priority, P1 being the most urgent. Filter or sort by it from Options.
What is effort?
How big a job it is: Easy, Medium or Hard. It helps you find something that fits the time you have.
What can a card contain?
A card can include:
Can I have multiple projects?
Up to 100, each with up to 20 lists.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Not yet. Everything is reachable on screen. Enter saves text.
Can you see my tasks?
No. They sit in your browser and are never sent to us, so there is nothing on our side to look at.
What do you collect?
Which pages get visited, and nothing that identifies you.
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views and records about what a server log holds: the page, where you came from, your browser and your country. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and cannot follow you elsewhere.
There is no Google Analytics, no ad network, no trackers, and nothing is sold or shared.
None of it touches your projects.
How do I delete everything?
Clear QuestLog site data in your browser. Your projects are stored locally, so that removes the only copy.
Questions, bug reports, or anything else.
