Planendar: A minimalist, all-in-one daily planner that combines tasks, sticky notes, goals, and a privacy-first journal. I’ve always struggled with "app switching fatigue" - using one app for my calendar, another for habit tracking, and a third for quick notes. I wanted something minimalist that looked clean but actually handled the complexity of a real schedule.So, I built Planendar. It’s a fast web application designed to be your "digital command center" for the day.📅 Main Features:<ul><li>Smart Task Management: A beautiful, Material Design-inspired daily/weekly/monthly view. It supports recurring tasks (daily/weekly), color-coding, and custom categories with emoji icons. It uses a custom layout algorithm to handle overlapping tasks without looking cluttered.</li><li>Context-Aware Sticky Notes: For those random thoughts that don't fit into a "task." You can drag and resize them anywhere on your screen. Best of all, they are context-aware, you can pin notes to a specific day, a specific week, or even a specific month.</li><li>Goal Creation &amp; Tracking: A built-in habit tracker that’s actually "human." It tracks your streaks but includes a "Makeup Day" feature, if you miss a day, you can add a makeup day to the end of your goal instead of just failing. It tracks success, misses, and "cheat days" with a full history calendar.</li><li>Privacy-First Journal: This is my favorite part. To ensure your private thoughts stay private, the journal does not store data on my servers. Instead, it connects to your own Google Drive and saves a planendar_journal.json file there. You own your data. It also includes mood tracking to see how your productivity affects your headspace.</li></ul>✨ Other Cool Stuff:<ul><li>Dark Mode: Fully optimized for late-night planning.</li><li>Cross-Device Sync: Sign in with Google to keep your schedule synced between your laptop and phone.</li><li>Minimalist Aesthetic: No bloat, no ads, no distracting "social" features. Just you and your time.</li></ul>🛠️ The Tech Stack:For the devs out there: It’s built with vanilla JS, Firebase for auth/task sync, and GSAP for those buttery-smooth animations. It uses the Google Drive API for the journal to keep things decentralized. Full disclosure: this was completely 'vibe coded'—I leaned heavily on AI to help me translate my vision into a functional app.Check it out here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://planendar.net/">https://planendar.net/</a>I’d love to hear your feedback! What features are missing from your current planning routine? I'm actively looking for ways to improve the workflow.
