What is planify?

What it is

Planify is a task manager written in Vala and built for the GNOME desktop. It uses GTK4 and libadwaita for its interface, ships under the GPL-3.0 license, and lives in the GNOME application ecosystem alongside the toolkit it depends on. The project has been developed for eight years, carries 5,685 stars and 336 forks on GitHub, and maintains its own site at useplanify.com.

The concrete problem it solves is keeping one task list in sync across services that do not talk to each other, without handing control of that data to a single vendor. Planify connects to Todoist accounts for users who already live there, to Nextcloud for users who want tasks stored on their own server, and to CalDAV generally. An offline mode lets work continue without a connection and syncs later. The README notes plainly that the project is not created by, affiliated with, or supported by Doist.

Key capabilities

  • Drag-and-drop organization of tasks and projects, with grouping into sections.
  • Synchronization with Todoist accounts, Nextcloud, and CalDAV servers.
  • Offline mode that defers synchronization until connectivity returns.
  • Multiple reminders per task, plus recurring tasks with configurable repeating patterns.
  • Label and filter systems for organizing and locating tasks.
  • Calendar integration for viewing scheduled work, and quick search across the task set.
  • Attachments for files and links, progress indicators, analytics on productivity over time, and dark mode through system theme integration.

Who uses it and how

  • Nextcloud operators who want tasks stored on infrastructure they control rather than in a hosted service.
  • Existing Todoist users who prefer a native desktop client over the web interface while keeping their account and data.
  • CalDAV users syncing against other compatible servers, so tasks sit alongside calendar entries.
  • People working on machines without reliable connectivity, who edit offline and reconcile when the network comes back.
  • GNOME desktop users who want a libadwaita application matching their system theme and workflow.

Getting started

The README points to an official distribution section for packaged installs, and the project homepage is at useplanify.com. Building from source requires meson, valac and the GTK4 stack; the documented flow is git clone, meson build --prefix=/usr, ninja, sudo ninja install, then running io.github.alainm23.planify. Development setup is documented through GNOME Builder, where the repository can be cloned and run directly. Minimum stated requirements are a Linux distribution with GTK4 support, 2 GB of RAM and 500 MB of disk space.
