✏️ mitime

A Google Apps Script powered Dabble.me alternative. This is a Google App Script that will send you everyday a reminder to log your thoughts in this email based journal. All your replies will be labeled for you to revisit them anytime.

Enjoy!

Installation

• Check the latest release to get the latest Google Script Apps Web App link. Clicking the link will setup all necessary labels, filters and triggers.

• You can also copy the script directly from Google Apps Script.

Local setup

Install the packages and build the script:

npm install
npm run build // this will create minified script

Create a new Google App Script project by visiting: https://script.google.com/home/start and clicking + Create new Project, then copy the content of Code.js to your project. Finally, run the script.

You can always use original script that is located in src/index.js.

It will:

1. create a mitime label in your Gmail
2. setup the daily trigger to send you an email for you to reply. It will also remove any previous triggers for this script
3. will remove all emails recieved from mitime to only keep your sent emails

Developing

You can use https://github.com/google/clasp to edit the script with all of the Google Apps Script methods.

Using:

npm run deploy

will automatically build the script and push it to your Google App Script project (it requires you to log in into clasp first).

Required permissions

On the first run, the script will ask you to grant those permissions:

1. Gmail (to create labels and send automatic emails)
2. AppScripts (to get your script id and installed triggers)

Todo

• Tests 💀
• Add Throwback functionality - get emails from the past and attach them to the automatic mail
• Add multiple email templates
