What is Planify?
Planify is a task manager for GNU/Linux built with GTK4 and libadwaita. Tasks live in projects with sections, labels, priorities and reminders, and are stored locally in SQLite by default. It can also sync with a Todoist account or with Nextcloud and other CalDAV servers, which is how the same tasks reach other devices. The app is free under the GPL-3.0 license and is distributed through Flathub.
Planify is free to use. See every plan
Good for
- Linux users who want a native GTK task manager
- Todoist or Nextcloud users who want a desktop client on Linux
- Keeping tasks on the local disk with no account
- Scripting task capture and backups from the terminal
Worth knowing
- 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
- 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.
