Companion PlanningToday
The day at a glance: overdue, due today, scheduled and open counts, a focus card, and a planner grid for placing time blocks.
Self-hosted planner
Plan your day on a server you control
Companion Planning keeps your tasks, time blocks and calendar on a server you run. Open it in any browser today. Native iPhone and Android apps are in preparation.
Tasks in one SQLite file on your server
Opens in any modern browser
Optional local AI through Ollama
Google Calendar stays off until you connect it
Everything a day needs, in one planner
Today, the calendar, the backlog and your goals share one app. You plan in one place, and the data stays on the server you run.
Calendar
Day, week and month views, with Export, Review and Schedule Day controls.
Tasks and objectives
Priorities, tags, habits, routines and time blocks. Goals, projects and objectives form one tree, with an audit history.
Reminders
In-app reminders, plus Web Push notifications from your server once you allow them in the browser.
Your server, your data
Everything is stored in one SQLite file on the server you run. Use a desktop, a mini PC, a home server or a Docker host.
Optional local AI
Connect an Ollama model or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for briefings, task extraction and grooming. Without a model, the AI features stay hidden.
Up and running in three steps
You set up the server once. Your phone and laptop only need its address.

2
Open it in a browser
Go to the server's address, for example http://192.168.1.20:3848. On a phone, add the planner to your home screen.

Your data stays on your server
Your plans stay in one file on a server you run. Here is everything that can leave it.
- Tasks, time blocks and tags live in one SQLite file on the server you run.
- The apps send your data only to the server address you enter.
- Google Calendar sync stays off until you connect it. Writing changes back to Google is a separate switch, and it is off by default.
- The AI features use a model you configure, such as Ollama. Without one, they stay hidden.
- Web Push notifications go through the browser's push service, once you allow them.
- Released server images send error reports. They contain errors only, are scrubbed, and never include your data. Set CI_TELEMETRY=off to turn them off.
