FAQ
Everything about how PlannerDock stores your data and what it does (and doesn't) do.
No. PlannerDock has no sign-up and no login. Open any tool and start planning — your work saves to this browser automatically.
The current version is free and processes no payments. Paid Plus and Business tiers are planned for the future but aren't active yet.
No. Tasks, habits, goals, projects, notes, and schedules are stored locally in your browser and are never sent to a PlannerDock server.
Structured data lives in your browser's IndexedDB, and simple preferences use LocalStorage. Both stay on your device.
Not automatically. Because there's no backend, PlannerDock can't sync on its own. You can move your workspace by exporting a backup and importing it on another device.
Once the app has loaded, the planning tools work without a connection in most browsers, since your data is local. Full offline install (PWA) is on the roadmap.
Yes. From Workspace you can export a full JSON backup or a ZIP package, and export individual modules (tasks, habits, projects, focus sessions) as CSV.
Yes. The printable planner builder and most tools offer a print view and PDF export, all generated on your device.
Yes. Workspace → Import backup validates the file first and then restores it. Invalid files are rejected before anything is written.
Yes. You can clear a single module or the entire workspace. Destructive actions ask for confirmation first, and we recommend exporting a backup beforehand.
No. PlannerDock uses no external calendar APIs. Calendar file import/export is on the roadmap, but there is no live calendar connection.
There are no email or push reminders. The focus timer can use optional browser notifications while a tab is open, and only after you grant permission.
No. There's no AI in the product. Notes, goals, and journals contain only what you write.
Clearing your browser's site data will remove your PlannerDock workspace unless you've exported a backup. Keeping an occasional backup is the safest habit.
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on desktop and mobile. IndexedDB and modern JavaScript are required.
Yes, you're welcome to use it for professional planning. Commercial-use terms are being formalized alongside the planned paid tiers.
Not yet. Plus and Business are shown so you know where things are heading, but there is no checkout and no payment processing today.
Yes. You can save any planner setup as a template and reuse it, and duplicate built-in templates as a starting point.
