Our verdict on Planner

Planner is an open-source Linux desktop application for organizing tasks, projects, goals, and calendar events. It suits solo users and small teams working on GNU/Linux who want a structured to-do workspace with Todoist synchronization. Task details can include notes, URLs, deadlines, and labels, while project sections, drag-and-drop ordering, and progress indicators help organize larger lists. The application is distributed under the GPL-3.0 license.

Todoist synchronization is Planner’s clearest ecosystem fit. Users can work with Todoist tasks, including offline work that synchronizes later, and display calendar events alongside to-dos through calendar application support. Multiple reminders and notifications, recurring due dates, and calendar display cover common planning needs without requiring a separate task view for each activity. This combination makes Planner a practical desktop companion for people already centered on Todoist.

Its main boundary is focus: Planner is Linux-only and its broader task workflow is closely tied to Todoist. That makes it a stronger choice for GNU/Linux users who want an open-source desktop interface around Todoist than for people seeking a platform-spanning standalone task manager. Choose Planner when project sections, reminders, recurring tasks, calendar context, and offline Todoist work matter; choose another option if you need support beyond Linux or do not want Todoist to anchor synchronization.
