Setting up with an own Trello token (< 5 min.)

In the end, you'll need to provide 2 things, the Trello API key and the Trello API token for the F|P app.

If the Settings dialog isn't open, to get there just click Settings in the tray menu as below:

NB: There's a more convenient way for Focus|Project for Trello pro users.

Why generate a developer token?

As things are now, to use the conveniences ▸ that Focus|Project for Trello app adds for free to Trello, you'll need to work a bit.

And not only is the free version free, also the only choice currently for Linux.

This inconvenience is partly due to the limitations on how many users we can all of a sudden support in the more convenient say premium ▸ way (Windows 10 only), where authorizing the app is more convenient, looks more professional and where more standard+ Trello features will be supported.
