Best for a desktop planner for one person or a small team
Pagico keeps tasks, notes and files in one local database on Mac, Windows and Linux. It costs $65 once, but updates after the first year need a subscription, and the desktop trial is the only way to try it.
Who Pagico is for
- Fits if you want a one-time purchase with your data stored locally
- Works for a small team sharing workspaces at a flat monthly price
Who Pagico is not for
- Watch out: updates after year one need Personal Premium at $3 a month or a team plan
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as only a trial is offered
- Tight if you want email-to-task or public sharing, which are premium cloud features
- Watch out: the pages give the trial as 15 days and as 2 weeks in different places

Keep Pagico, or make your own?
Your call
A to-do list at its plainest is tasks with dates, repeats and a box to tick.
You could make the core of Pagico for yourself: tasks and notes. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $65, paid once, it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.
What you could make
- Tasks and notes: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. Pagico’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Pagico?
Pagico is a planner for Mac, Windows and Ubuntu that stores tasks, notes, files, projects and contacts in one local database. Mobile apps for iOS and Android are free. A one-time license covers the desktop app, and paid cloud plans add sync, email-to-task and team workspaces.
Worth knowing
- The desktop app has no free plan, only a trial; the free mobile apps are companions to it.
- Software updates after the first year need a paid Personal Premium or team plan, though licenses do not expire.
- Email-to-task, email workflow features and public sharing are premium cloud features.
- The pages give 15 days and 2 weeks as the trial length in different places.
Key features
- One database for everything
- Projects, clients, notes, files, emails and checklists are stored together, so action items can sit next to meeting notes.
- Timelines and dashboards
- Turns task lists into timelines and offers custom dashboards that show project status.
- Rapid Day Planner
- A daily planning view based on the Ivy Lee method.
- Browser extension
- Turn a web page into a task from the Pagico browser extension.
- Local data with optional cloud sync
- Data stays on the device by default; Personal Cloud syncs across computers and phones, and the vendor says shared data is encrypted with 256-bit AES on its servers.
- Team workspaces
- Selectively sync projects and contacts with teammates, assign tasks and chat in real time.
