A Future-Proof Way to Manage Your Life in Plaintext
Planova is an opinionated, lightweight Android application designed for people who want full control over their data. Now with a companion panel for your Linux desktop.
Modern life-management, without the lock-in.
Get Started
Own Your Data. Shape Your Workflow.
Planova doesn't bury your life inside a database or a proprietary format. Every part of your workflow : events, tasks, daily logs, reflections, and free-form notes : lives in plain, portable text files you can edit or process with any tool, on any device, today or decades from now.
Features at a Glance
Agenda
A clean and minimal calendar view powered by structured text files. Plan your day, week, and month with formats that remain readable even outside the app.
Notifications
Get notified about upcoming events and never miss an important appointment. Notifications are generated directly from your plaintext event files.
Todo
A flexible task manager rooted in plaintext.
Journal
Daily or free-form journaling in a format that is yours. Write thoughts, track habits, or keep logs : no templates forced, no data trapped.
Notes
Quick capture or long-form writing, organized your way. Plaintext and Markdown means powerful interoperability: edit with any editor, process with scripts, or keep long-term archives.
Widget
Keep a view on your upcoming events and todos directly on your home screen. Stay organized at a glance without opening the app.

Planova on Your Linux Desktop
Running Omarchy? PlanovaQuickShell replaces the clock in your bar with a Planova-powered panel: a month calendar with per-day indicators, the selected day's events, tasks and notes, quick add, todo toggling, refill, and a notes browser. Fully keyboard-driven.
It reads and writes the exact same plaintext files as the mobile app. Sync your Org folder with Syncthing or any tool you like, and a todo checked on your phone shows up on your desktop within seconds : and vice versa.
Your Sync. Your Choice.
No online account. No servers. No hidden services.
Planova deliberately avoids built-in sync. Why? Because you should choose how and where your data moves.
Use Nextcloud, Dropbox, Syncthing, Git, local backups, or any method you trust. Planova works harmoniously with your existing syncing tools : without interfering or imposing.
Future-Proof by Design
Markdown is the ultimate format for digital longevity. No matter how apps evolve, how platforms change, or how companies come and go, your data remains accessible.
With Planova, your productivity tools won't age : because plaintext never does.
Free and Open Source
Planova's source code is now open, released under the MIT license. Read it, audit it, patch it, fork it: an app you trust with your life's data should have nothing to hide.
Take Back Control of Your Digital Life
Planova gives you a calm, stable, private space to think, plan, and create : without subscriptions, without cloud lock-in, and without losing the freedom to shape your workflow.
