Use Springpad on the web, too!

ATTENTION: This post contains details about a previous version of Springpad. To learn about the updates in Springpad 3.0, check out this blog post: “The New Springpad Makes It Fun and Easy to Share.”

Many of our users get started by using Springpad with one of our mobile apps, and we wanted to take the opportunity to introduce them to the Springpad web app!

Log in to Springpad from your computer now.
Access Springpad from any Web Browser
The Springpad web app is available on all modern browsers.
Everything you save on the Springpad app on your mobile device automatically syncs with Springpad on the web. Log in with your existing Springpad account at Springpad.com to access your stuff on the web, too!

Features of the Springpad Web App
There are a number of features that are only available on the web app.

  • Settings – Change your username, set up your public profile, and access a host of settings and resources in the Settings section of the web app.
  • Offline Access via Chrome App – If you install the Chrome app, you can access your Springpad via the Chrome browser even if your computer is not connected to the internet.
  • Advanced Filter – Looking for a specific group of items? Use the advanced filter to find them.
  • RSS feeds – If you want to grab an iCal or RSS feed for your stuff, you can filter to the view you like, then grab the feed URL from the web app.

    I love the excellent UI / free service and the excellent native apps on iOS / Android platforms. But the only issue I am facing is that the whole service is painfully slow and I am afraid this is making me move back to Evernote. Sorry!

    • Devin says:

      We’re sorry to hear that! The app should not be functioning that slowly, so something could be wrong. Please send us an email (feedback@springpartners) with your username, and we can take a look at what’s going on :)

    “Will you be adding indenting ability?

    For example, I see Springpad offers a Shopping List. However, without indenting it makes it hard to create a list.”

    This was a comment from another user last year. After using the website application for a few months, I agree that lists are pretty much useless if you can’t indent anything.

  3. Nicolas says:

    Indenting ability would be great! Or at least sublists, as one level list is to short and not having indentation doesn’t help when writing hierarchical stuff.

    Now the performance is a lot better. I have started using it for all my GTD stuff. Good work. Expense Note book will be a great template.

    My opinion is to reduce what the extension does, like limiting it to bookmarking, adding notes & reviewing & adding Tasks!

    with a small box on the bottom right of the icon to view undone tasks, that would be very nice!

    Oh & I? don’t forget to suggest that it becomes a lot lighter than it is now!

    Oh and I don’t forget to suggest that it becomes a lot lighter than it is now, as it always reconnects every time I click!

    Thanks again for SpringPad!!^!^

    Maybe a weird suggestion: a “Back to Classic web app” link when using a smartphone would be very useful.

    Your android app does not work on my android device but, since it has a webbrowser, I was expecting to use the web app instead.

    The problem is, whenever I load http://springpad.com on the webbrowser, I’m just getting a link to download the app.
