Planify Blog

The new version of Planify comes with some of the most requested features, important bug fixes, and performance improvements to make your experience smoother than ever.

📅 CalDAV Support

Thanks to the great work of @byquanton, we’ve completely rewritten the CalDAV backend.
Planify now works seamlessly with Radicale, Baïkal, and other servers that follow the CalDAV standard.
This was one of the most requested features (issue #1149) and it’s finally here.

• Faster and more robust backend.
• Stable connections even with invalid TLS certificates (optional).

🧹 Reduced Memory Usage

With the help of @markochk, we were able to identify and fix several memory leaks:

• Memory was not properly released when completing or deleting tasks.
• A leak was fixed during CalDAV synchronization.
• We introduced a new cache system for views: unused views are released after some time and rebuilt when needed, automatically freeing memory.

🗂️ New Sidebar Filters

Quickly access new task views such as:

• Tomorrow
• Anytime
• Repeating
• Unlabeled
• All Tasks

You can customize which views to show, and switch between a compact list view or a more detailed one.

🔄 Improved Synchronization

Another highly requested feature: Planify now respects task order when syncing with Nextcloud or Todoist.
We also added a new algorithm that allows task reordering without affecting performance, ensuring consistency across platforms.

🖥️ Moving Closer to Other Platforms

Thanks again to @byquanton, work is in progress to make WebKit and Evolution dependencies optional.
This will pave the way for Planify to run on Windows and macOS in the future.

🌟 Other Improvements

• Spell checker support in task descriptions.
• Fixed a bug when moving tasks with subtasks in Nextcloud/CalDAV projects.
• Updated themes (light, dark, dark blue) and overall design improvements.
• Labels and indicators for notes, reminders, and subtasks are now aligned to the right of each task for better readability.
• New quick-add button in every task list.
• Beautiful new animation when completing tasks.
• New sound and a notification when completing tasks (to avoid confusion when tasks “disappear”).

🔮 Looking ahead to Planify 4.15

With the new CalDAV backend ready, we’ve started exploring some ideas for upcoming releases:

• Google Tasks integration to expand synchronization options.
• Natural language date recognition, making it easier to set due dates as you type.
• An improved Markdown editor for a smoother writing experience.

These are not fixed goals yet, but areas we’d love to explore with the help of the community and new technologies. Stay tuned! 🚀

We’re excited to announce the release of Planify 4.13.4, packed with new features, UI refinements, and important bug fixes that make your task management experience smoother than ever.

✨ Highlights

• Font Size Selector – Adjust the font size inside the app for better accessibility and reading comfort.
• New Recurring Options – Added support for weekday/weekend recurring tasks, giving you more flexibility when scheduling.
• “Today” in Scheduled View – A new Today section helps you quickly see what’s due today alongside upcoming tasks, improving weekly planning at a glance.

• Smarter Quick Add – Planify now remembers the last used project in Quick Add, speeding up task creation.
• Markdown Support in Task Titles – With the new MarkdownProcessor, task titles now render inline code and markdown styling for clearer task descriptions.

• Keyboard Shortcuts Help – Added a handy popover in the task dialog to discover shortcuts for priorities, labels, projects, and reminders.
• Adaptive Windows (Partial Support) – Initial improvements for small screens make Planify more comfortable to use across different window sizes.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Polishing

• Fixed duplicate sync at startup, avoiding unnecessary background processes.
• Improved drag-and-drop animations and fixed the issue where items couldn’t be reordered at the end of a list.

• Fixed attachment opening failures with stronger validation and error handling.
• Improved shortcut handling so characters like @, !, and p1–p4 can be typed literally in task titles.

• Back button in the right sidebar now only appears when a parent task exists (removing duplicate “close” behavior).
• Day change detection is now more reliable, even after suspending or closing the laptop.

⚡️ With these updates, Planify becomes faster, smarter, and easier to use — whether you’re planning your week, writing detailed markdown notes, or simply managing daily reminders.

The new 4.13.2 release of Planify is here, focusing on delivering a more stable, smoother, and customizable task management experience.

Highlights

• Better all-day event handling – Events are now correctly detected based on your local time.
• More control with Todoist – If you can’t log in via OAuth, you can now manually enter your Todoist token.
• Improved text editing – The description area now has a limited height with scrolling, placeholders behave correctly, and your text won’t reset when repositioning the cursor.
• Natural sorting – Lists now correctly order strings with numbers (e.g., item2 before item10).
• Smoother navigation – Improved visual alignment for note-type tasks and the option to display completed tasks directly below pending ones with pagination.
• Stability fixes – Adjustments to project view transitions, keyboard shortcuts, task duplication, and more.

Additional Changes

• Updated translations.
• Added Discord link.
• Several under-the-hood optimizations.
