I built this app because my life was spread over multiple different apps and pieces of paper. Ontoplano started as a weekly planner that I made (because I dislike sharing my life information with Google and also had nitpicks with every FOSS calendar I tried) and grew into one app for everything personal I saw meaning in connecting: *the recurring/exceptional tasks, todos, goals, habits, notebooks, people, shopping lists, recipes, and more.*
I am posting it here because the project is completely free and open source, licensed under AGPL-3.0, for anyone who wants to run their own instance.
I run my own instance at app.ontoplano.com, for people who aren't into self hosting. On it, there are no ads, no tracking/profiling code, no telemetry, no tricks whatsoever. You can leave it at any time and take all your data with you.
I firmly believe software should empower people, not exploit them, and I hope that's just what I can provide the world with by releasing Ontoplano.
Furthermore, I also like software to be beautiful and practical. Ontoplano (self-hosted or not) comes with a Mobile app (PWA or the APK if you want the widget and prettier-looking notifications), and a MCP server for using it with AI (if you hate AI, don't worry, there is no built-in AI to opt-out of, only a MCP server you can create a token for, or not).
I implemented these two because:
1. I wanted to use it smoothly, even if I am away from home
2. Sometimes is much easier to say "Hey AI, put on Ontoplano that last week I actually slacked off and played videogames everyday" than manually doing that in a calendar, for psychological and time-consuming reasons.
Besides that, you can also:
- Import your notes/todo tasks from Google Tasks, Google Keep, Obsidian, Todoist, and more in the future.
- Calendar sync with Google Calendar (or other calendars) using ICS
- Access your shopping list offline it, and share it with your family members (if you want to).
And there is more in the roadmap. Any help is appreciated — be it you self-hosting to help me find bugs and improve the app, be it you giving me a star on GitHub.
It is a great start, congrats on the release. Out of all the categories offered, I'm missing "Invertory" category. A place where I could ask AI to remember something and to retrieve it later on. For example :) "Honey, where do keep the measuring tape?" - "Living room, white chest, first drawer.". That's what I'm missing in my life. On the other hand, all of my contacts originate from the phone address book, so unless there is some special synchronization, I don't see how I would manage them in Ontoplano.

I implemented inventory management in /shopping: I hated crossing shopping lists in the market and having to think about it all again later. Much better to keep a pre-determined list of stuff you want to always have at home (with the option to snooze it if you are not feeling like buying that for now, but may be in the future) and only say if you do have it or if you need to buy it.
But you're asking to have a list of non-consumable stuff you have being able to record where it lives; I'd just use shopping, mark as something that I have, and put it's location on the description. You could create a category there: "House stuff" or something.
