Tiny Worklog v0.5.3

This release introduces seamless background GitHub synchronization and a powerful calendar editor to modify past entries on the fly.

What's new

• Added automatic background push/pull synchronization to a private GitHub repository
• Added a Sync Console window to monitor background activities, errors, and app events
• Added tray menu options to show/hide the sync console
• Added the ability to click any date in the calendar to view, edit, or delete its log entries
• Added automatic cloud sync triggering whenever calendar logs are edited
• Added safe offline fallback mode when github_token.txt is missing
• Added universal app logging to track startups, tray actions, and auto-start changes
• Added github_token.txt to .gitignore to prevent accidental credential leaks

Notes

• GitHub synchronization requires a github_token.txt file placed next to the executable.
• The token file should contain a Personal Access Token on the first line, and username/repo on the second line.
• For security, the GitHub token only needs "Read and write" permissions for "Contents" on that single specific repository.
• If the token file is absent or you are offline, the app operates 100% locally with zero errors or interruptions.

Tiny Worklog v0.4.0

This release adds a lightweight temporary todo widget to help track short-term priorities alongside daily work logging.

v0.3.0 - Daily Driver Improvements

Tiny Worklog v0.3.0

This release focuses on making Tiny Worklog more practical as a daily background app.

What's new

• Added Windows auto-start support
• Added tray menu option to enable or disable auto-start
• Added tray menu status marker for auto-start state
• Added "Quit and disable auto-start" option
• Added tray menu option to open the current month log
• Added tray menu option to open the logs folder
• Added Ctrl+Enter shortcut to save
• Added Esc shortcut to hide the popup
• Improved local log path handling so logs are saved relative to the executable folder

Notes

• Auto-start should be enabled from the built .exe, not from go run.
• If you move or rename the .exe, disable auto-start first, move the file, then enable auto-start again.
• Quit only exits the currently running app. It does not disable auto-start.
• Use Quit and disable auto-start if you want the app to stop running now and not launch on the next Windows login.
