In short

How do I back up Dynalist outlines and get reminded of due items?

WebRun reviews your Dynalist outlines every Monday, backs up every document edited that week to Google Drive, and texts you a short summary of items due in the next 7 days. Your outlines stay backed up outside Dynalist automatically, and you get a reminder of what's coming due without opening the app.

  • Every outline gets a current backup outside Dynalist each week
  • Due items reach you as a text instead of staying buried in a list
  • No document is left without a recent backup copy

Questions, answered

Will it change anything in my Dynalist outlines?

No. WebRun only reads your documents to back them up and find due items. It never edits or reorders anything inside Dynalist.

Where do the backups go?

Into a dated folder in your own Google Drive, one file per document, so you always have a recent copy outside Dynalist.

What if I have dozens of documents?

It backs up every document edited in the last 7 days, not your whole library, so the weekly text stays short and the backup stays current.

Put this on autopilot.
