What does HackerNews think of planner?

Ask HN: Any good school timetable apps for Linux? | Sep 2023

Here's a few places to start:

https://apps.gnome.org/Calendar/

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/

https://apps.kde.org/merkuro.calendar/

Planner/Planify is an all-around decent to-do list/calendar app, kinda like Things for MacOS.

From there, you could also check out GNOME and KDE's default calendar apps to see if either of those do anything for you. Finally, if you want all the features (and a less-maintained app) then Evolution is the old GNOME groupware app that does scheduling really well.

Planner, a task manager designed for Linux | May 2023

Not sure where you're looking but source code is here (not sure why they don't link to it?) and last update was about a year ago and there are recent commits.

I just discovered this and really like it, it's a huge improvement over GNOME Todo. My only complaint is that it seems to choke on a large number of (completed) tasks. Though that might be more of an issue with Nextcloud not clearing out completed tasks and a lot of caldav apps have this problem.

Ask HN: Kanban board or advanced TODO tracker for Linux (desktop) | Sep 2022

Obsidian has a decent Kanban plugin if you're comfortable working with Markdown. If not, I think Todoist has an okay board-view.

Edit: Planner also used to be quite good, but it seems to be broken on every distro I try it on, these days. Maybe worth a look still: https://github.com/alainm23/planner

> You could probably make something as nice and integrated as Things on Linux, but for someone as busy as me, it is nice to use what is already there.

I find this a funny point, as Things is one of the apps that has a near-direct clone[0] on Linux. It also costs $49.99 less than Things!

There's also Planner[0] if you're on Linux, a FOSS Things clone that actually gets a lot of stuff right for being free software. Just be sure to compile it yourself if you intend on using it, the current distribution method has been... rather disastrous[1].

Ask HN: What are the best-designed things you've ever used? (2021) | Nov 2021

Things has a really good open-source clone called Planner[0] that I quite like. Now, if only they'd package it some way other than flatpak...

Planner 2.6 released. An open-source Todoist alternative for Linux | Dec 2020

Took me a while to find it, but this seems to be the repository:

* https://github.com/alainm23/planner

Some notes from a quick browse:

- Licensed GPL-3

- Written in Vala, using GTK

- Uses sqlite

- Meson+ninja as build system (which I like)

If it ran on Android too I'd replace Orgzly with this as I wish to have a tool I use both on my phone and laptop, synchronized via Syncthing (so far orgmode in emacs + orgzly gives me what I want, but I wish I had something a bit more pretty and user friendly like this Planner).
