Windows Rights Activists, Unite!

…or how get Chrome to pin Freckle to your Windows Taskbar!

Every group of friends, every team, every family has a token Windows Rights Activist.  They’re the person who you turn to with all of your very import Windows questions.

Like, “Hypothetically speaking, would Steve Jobs and Bill Gates make a good team on The Amazing Race?” 

They’re also the person who showed you the light.  The bright and shiny light of Chrome, Google Chrome that is.

Most of us here on the Freckle team are Mac users, but thankfully we’ve got our very own Windows Rights Activist, Amber Gohn.

Amber is always campaigning for equal Windows Rights and thank [insert your preferred computer God here] because for a while the Mac menubar was getting all the love.  Well, not anymore!

If you’re the token Windows Rights Activist of your group, or if you’re just an avid Chrome user, you can get a shiny Freckle icon in your taskbar!

Pinning Freckle to your Windows taskbar is super easy! It only takes a few clicks.

1. Make sure your Freckle window is the focused, most recent one
2. Click the “Menu” icon in the top right, aka the ≡ hamburger icon
3. Select “More tools”
4. Choose “Create application shortcuts”
5. Make sure the “pin to taskbar” box is checked
6. Click “Create”

Now you’ve got yourself an awesome new pin. You can now always open Freckle with one click from your taskbar and get right to work!
Windows Time Tracking just got a whole lot easier!
