Worth knowing
Errands
- Linux only: the Flatpak on Flathub is the only version the developer supports, with no Windows, macOS or web release.
- For sync, the README says only Nextcloud is known to work well and other CalDAV providers may not work.
- The latest release, 46.2.10, is dated December 22, 2025.
- The GNOME Apps page lists a single maintainer, and donations are accepted in cryptocurrency only.
Planify
- Linux only: it is distributed on Flathub or built from source, with no Windows, macOS, web or mobile version.
- It has no sync service of its own, so reaching tasks on a phone means using the Todoist or Nextcloud apps.
- Planify is not created by, affiliated with or supported by Doist, the company behind Todoist.
- Development is funded by donations; the site lists Patreon, PayPal, Liberapay and Ko-fi.
Key features
Errands
- Multiple task lists
- The app supports multiple task lists, so separate areas of work can each have a list of their own.
- Tasks and sub-tasks
- Tasks and their sub-tasks can be added, edited, removed and marked as completed.
- Accent color for each task
- Each task can be given its own accent color.
- Nextcloud and CalDAV sync
- Tasks sync through the python-caldav library with Nextcloud Tasks and other CalDAV providers. The README says only Nextcloud is supported and known to work well.
- Drag and drop and .ics import
- The app supports drag and drop, and tasks can be brought in by importing .ics files.
Planify
- Todoist, Nextcloud and CalDAV sync
- Syncs with a Todoist account or with Nextcloud and CalDAV servers such as Radicale and Baïkal, with several accounts at once. Nextcloud Deck boards sync two-way as projects.
- Projects, sections, labels and filters
- Tasks are grouped into projects and sub-projects with sections, labels, priorities and custom filters, and each project shows a progress indicator.
- Board view and calendar
- A project can be shown as a board for visual planning, and calendar integration displays scheduled events next to tasks.
- Quick Add with natural-language dates
- A global keyboard shortcut opens Quick Add, which parses dates written in English or Spanish and uses @ for labels, # for projects and ! for priorities.
- Reminders, recurrence and attachments
- A task can carry several reminders, a recurrence pattern, file attachments and links, with Markdown allowed in its title and description.
- Command-line interface
- The bundled CLI adds, lists and updates tasks and exports a JSON backup. Every command returns JSON, so it can be piped into scripts.
