Run Plannier offline (download)

The local version runs entirely on your machine — same Plannier, no internet required after install. Best for offline use, on-the-road with spotty signal, or if you'd rather not depend on hosting. Currently desktop only (Mac & PC).

Desktop only. The local version works on Mac & PC. For phone, use Launch Plannier above.

How to run it

Setup, then launch.

  1. Install Node.js (free, ~50 MB) from nodejs.org — pick the LTS version and run the installer with default options.
  2. Click Download Plannier above. Plannier.zip lands in your Downloads folder.
  3. Right-click Plannier.zip → Extract All… → click Extract. You'll get a folder called Plannier. If you see a Plannier folder inside another Plannier folder, that's normal — the one you want is the inner folder, the one with START PLANNIER (Windows).bat directly inside it.
  4. Move the Plannier folder out of Downloads to somewhere permanent — Documents, your user folder, or anywhere stable. Don't run it from Downloads.
  5. Open the folder you just moved and double-click One-time setup (Windows).bat. This creates a Plannier shortcut on your Desktop and in your Start Menu. Takes a few seconds. If Windows SmartScreen warns "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. Only needed the first time.
  6. Double-click the Plannier shortcut on your Desktop to launch. First launch takes about a minute (installing dependencies); after that, 2–3 seconds. A terminal window opens and must stay open while you use Plannier — that window IS the local server. When you're done, click the ⏻ Exit button in the app and the terminal closes itself.
  1. Install Node.js (free, ~50 MB) from nodejs.org — pick the LTS version and run the installer with default options.
  2. Click Download Plannier above. Plannier.zip lands in your Downloads folder.
  3. Double-click Plannier.zip in Finder. macOS unzips it into a folder called Plannier.
  4. Move the Plannier folder out of Downloads to somewhere permanent — Applications, Documents, or wherever you keep apps. Don't run it from Downloads.
  5. Open the folder you just moved and double-click One-time setup (Mac).command. This creates a Plannier.app on your Desktop with the proper icon. Takes a few seconds. If macOS says "can't be opened because it's from an unidentified developer", open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway. Only needed the first time.
  6. Double-click Plannier.app on your Desktop to launch. First launch takes about a minute (installing dependencies); after that, 2–3 seconds. A terminal window opens and must stay open while you use Plannier — that window IS the local server. When you're done, click the ⏻ Exit button in the app and the terminal closes itself. If the page doesn't load, click into the browser's address bar and type http:// in front of the address, then press Return. Some Mac browsers strip the prefix from local file URLs.
Optional Launch without the Desktop shortcut

You can skip the one-time setup and launch Plannier straight from the folder. Double-click START PLANNIER (Mac).command or START PLANNIER (Windows).bat inside the Plannier folder whenever you want to use it.

If you do use the Desktop shortcut and later move the Plannier folder, re-run the one-time setup to refresh the shortcut.

Optional Install Plannier as a browser app (PWA)

Once Plannier is open in your browser, you can "install" it as a Progressive Web App — a standalone window without browser chrome that launches from your dock, Start Menu, or apps list.

Chrome / Edge / Brave: look at the right end of the URL bar for a small Install icon (a monitor with a downward arrow) and click it.

Safari on macOS 14 Sonoma or newer: Share menu → Add to Dock.

Safari on older macOS, or Firefox: PWA install isn't supported there — use Chrome/Edge/Brave instead, or stick with the Desktop shortcut from the steps above.

The PWA is just a display shell — Plannier's local server still needs to be running. Launch from your Desktop shortcut first, or keep the START PLANNIER terminal window open.
