It would be you managing it, not a computer. Same thing with org-mode, which you run on a computer. I have used org-mode for years, I created Ontoplano because it didn't solve all my demands: e.g. easily being able to see my Shopping list, checking items I have bought (defined my quantity), reminding me of my bills, allowing me to record an audio, idea, something I have to buy by opening one app in my phone and doing 1 finger movement after that...

These are all out of the top of my head, truth is I've been working on this for many months and it has so many cool features that I have a hard time listing all of them.

    Demo:

    • demo.ontoplano.com

    Some of the many things it offers:

    • Calendar: your week with time blocks, repeating or one-off. You can skip or move a single occurrence and save week templates. External calendars show next to it, and there’s an ICS feed out.
    • Board / Todos: today as a kanban board, plus undated todos with tags, filters, attributes and links. Putting a todo on a day schedules it.
    • Weekly review: clear out stale todos and write a note on the week.
    • Notebooks: notes per subject in folders, a diary, ideas, people (birthdays, relationships, every mention of them). Those work as scopes, they can hold everything mentioned here: goals, workouts, inventory, tasks, etc.
    • Goals: numeric targets and progress logs. You can link tasks to a goal, so finishing them moves it.
    • Health: habit tracking with a heatmap, and workouts that log reps, kg and km per exercise. You can put those on a date too, log how much weight you lifted, the distance you ran, etc.
    • Inventory / Shopping: things you own with quantities and restocking. Recipes use inventory items as ingredients, and what’s missing goes to the shopping list, which you can open offline in the market to see what is missing.
    • Finance: ledgers, statement import, auto-sorting rules, bills. Also integrates with inventory prices.
    • Media: a gallery and audio recordings. You can put those on notes and tasks, or standalone.
    • Reminders: on blocks and todos. You get notifications on the mobile app or PC.

    Everything works in the computer and in the phone.

    There is also a quick add (+) wheel menu for adding any important thing with one finger movement. Everything can have tags, many things can have attributes (key value pairs) that can be used with integrations: it comes with a REST API and a MCP server; you can use any AI to talk to it through scoped tokens that allow you to protect your privacy by only giving it access to one particular project (Notebook) and its goals, tasks, notes, inventory items etc. Of course, you could also use a local AI or no AI at all.

    It’s keyboard-driven (vim-style keys) too, and you can run it in the phone both in sync with the official / you self-hosted instance, or fully isolated (never sees the internet).

    Thanks, happy that you liked it! Check the quick add menu too, it's the same design and allow you to add most of what you'd want to add quickly out of your mind with one finger movement (including audios).

    You can also configure it to add those to a particular notebook, by default.

    I'll try to summarize it:

    • Plan: your week as time blocks, repeating or one-off. You can skip or move a single occurrence and save week templates. External calendars show next to it, and there's an ICS feed out.
    • Board / Todos: today as a kanban board, plus undated todos with tags, filters, attributes and links. Putting a todo on a day schedules it.
    • Weekly review: clear out stale todos and write a note on the week.
    • Notebooks: notes per subject in folders, a diary, ideas, people (birthdays, relationships, every mention of them). Those work as scopes, they can hold everything mentioned here: goals, workouts, inventory, tasks, etc.
    • Goals: numeric targets and progress logs. You can link tasks to a goal, so finishing them moves it.
    • Health: habit tracking with a heatmap, and workouts that log reps, kg and km per exercise. You can put those on a date too, log how much weight you lifted, the distance you ran, etc.

    • Media: a gallery and audio recordings. You can put those on notes and tasks, or standalone.
    • Reminders: on blocks and todos. You get notifications on the mobile app or PC.

    There are also the integrations I mentioned; the thing about it is that It's keyboard-driven (vim-style keys) too, and you can run it in the phone fully isolated (never sees the internet).

    Yeah, this is my second post here, so I was already expecting this reaction TBH. Still, I do think my app provides value, so I am willing to sail through the sea of AI-hate.

    I'm not even an AI lover; I wish it didn't existed, but it does, and here we are. As of now, with the current token prices, it is simply much more efficient (by orders of magnitude) than tradcoding, so companies are not gonna waste time and money on ideology: will be really hard to not be a vibecoder and still have a job.

    Sure, but “you can script it yourself” is a very different value proposition from the software actually providing the feature. By that standard, any sufficiently extensible application can “do” almost anything. And Ontoplano itself goes into that category, since it comes with a REST API and webhooks, making it easily scriptable too.

    It has many features beyond what Trilium (which is a primarily note-taking app) offers, such as: finance tracking, inventory management, goals & tasks with linking and priority, workout & habits logging, and especially reminders and alarms: trillium has no official mobile app, only the PWA, which can't access android alarm permissions. These are out of the top of my head.

    But Trillium has more features regarding notetaking specifically, of course, some of which I intend to implement in the future. But yeah, is older and battle-tested, so I understand your decision.

    Thank you! I am really trying to build something good and useful here, I started making this for myself 7 months ago and worked really hard in the last months to improve it.

    Any feedback is appreciated :)
