Daily Planner

A Tauri desktop app for Linux that opens at scheduled times to help you plan your morning and review your evening.

Motivation

My work and schedule have felt scattered lately, so I built this app to force a little structure into my day.

The first time I open my laptop to work, the it takes over the screen and requires me to write my plan for the day before I can do anything else.

Once I submit it:

• A small sticky window stays at the side of my screen, reminding me what I need to get done. I can minimize or close it when needed.
• At the end of the day, a review dashboard appears so I can mark what I completed.
• The next morning, unfinished tasks from the previous day show up as suggestions for the new day. I can carry them over or ignore them.
• At the end of the week, an AI reviews everything I worked on and gives me a clear sense of how my week actually went. I can also request that review anytime.

It is more of a personal tooI needed something more forceful than a regular to-do app.

How it works

Morning form

Fires at the configured time (default 05:00). If no plan exists for today, the app opens fullscreen. Fill in your tasks and submit — the window closes automatically.

• Type a task and press Enter (or +) to add it.
• Select a category before adding: Personal, 9-5, Freelance, or Community.
• Tasks are grouped by category. Use ↑/↓ to reorder within a group.
• At least one task is required to submit.
• Daily intention and notes are optional.

If the computer is off at the scheduled time, the morning form fires on the next login (the morning timer uses Persistent=true).

Evening review

Fires at the configured time (default 18:00). If today's plan exists but hasn't been reviewed, the app opens fullscreen showing today's tasks grouped by category.

• Check off completed tasks (saved to disk immediately).
• Add optional reflection notes.
• Submit to mark the day as reviewed — the dashboard opens automatically.

The evening timer does not use Persistent=true — a day you miss is a day you miss.

Dashboard

Open the dashboard directly with:

daily-planner --dashboard

Shows:

• This week — days planned, tasks done/total, completion percentage. An AI Review button sends this week's plans to Claude and returns a focused ≤120-word analysis: what you're completing, what's slipping, and one sharp recommendation.
• Today — current plan with live-toggleable checkboxes, grouped by category.
• Past plans — collapsible cards for every previous day.
• Settings — configure morning/evening times and your Claude API key. Saving patches the installed systemd timer files and reloads them automatically.

If the systemd timers are not installed, a banner appears at the top of the dashboard with a reminder to run install.sh.

Sticky tasks

Open a compact always-on-top view of today's tasks with:

daily-planner --sticky

The sticky window shows today's completion count and live-toggleable task checkboxes. It opens automatically after you submit the morning plan, and the login startup flow opens it when a plan already exists for today. Close it when you do not need it; reopen it from the Daily Planner Sticky launcher or with the command above.

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run in development:

npm run dev

Build the release binary:

npm run build

The release binary lands at:

src-tauri/target/release/daily-planner

Install

Install from the GitHub Pages APT repository:

curl -fsSL https://injectflow-core.github.io/daily-planner/KEY.gpg \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/daily-planner.gpg

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/daily-planner.gpg] https://injectflow-core.github.io/daily-planner ./" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/daily-planner.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install daily-planner

Or run the installer script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/InjectFlow-Core/daily-planner/master/apt-install.sh | bash

The GitHub Pages root may show 404 because it is an APT repository, not a website. APT uses repository files such as KEY.gpg, InRelease, and Packages.gz from that URL. Future updates arrive via:

sudo apt upgrade

Manual install (from source)

./install.sh

The install script:

• Builds the app if the release binary does not exist.
• Copies the binary to ~/.local/bin/daily-planner.
• Installs five systemd units to ~/.config/systemd/user/.
• Enables the login service, morning timer, and evening timer.

After installation, times can be changed from the Settings panel inside the dashboard — no manual systemd editing needed.

Uninstall

./uninstall.sh

Stops and disables all systemd units, removes the binary, and removes the desktop entry and icon.

Data

Plans are stored as JSON files:

~/.local/share/daily-planner/plans/YYYY-MM-DD.json

Config (scheduled times, API key) is stored at:

~/.local/share/daily-planner/config.json

Platform

Linux. The morning and evening forms open as a standard fullscreen window — no input grabbing or window manager bypass.
