Ganttic vs Planify
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ganttic and Planify — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ganttic vs Planify: at a glance
What is Ganttic?
Ganttic's feed is mostly blog and case studies, with one real shipped update: mobile redesign and view tracking.
Most crawled entries are Ganttic's content-marketing blog and customer case studies, but the feed also carries genuine product updates — the Q1 roundup of the redesigned Planner mobile app, task coloring, a Single Project Gantt View, and an expanded History Log. So the picture is mixed: heavy editorial output around resource scheduling, with occasional real release notes mixed in. Where the product moves, it is sharpening mobile usability and change-tracking transparency.
What is Planify?
A GNOME task app that has turned CalDAV interoperability into the product.
Planify is a GTK task manager for GNOME on a fast release train — six releases in the window shown, most of them sync work. The 4.19 line spent nearly all its effort making CalDAV survive real servers: Mailbox.org, Open-Xchange, Posteo, Nextcloud Deck, and DAVx5 on Android each got a named fix. Feature work still lands, but alongside the sync repairs rather than instead of them.
Ganttic vs Planify: editorial side-by-side
Ganttic
5.0PM
Ganttic's feed is mostly blog and case studies, with one real shipped update: mobile redesign and view tracking.
◆ Current state
Most crawled entries are Ganttic's content-marketing blog and customer case studies, but the feed also carries genuine product updates — the Q1 roundup of the redesigned Planner mobile app, task coloring, a Single Project Gantt View, and an expanded History Log. So the picture is mixed: heavy editorial output around resource scheduling, with occasional real release notes mixed in. Where the product moves, it is sharpening mobile usability and change-tracking transparency.
◆ Where it's heading
The observable product thread is incremental polish: better mobile planning, more granular audit/history logging, and clearer views. The blog and case studies (ports, labs, construction) signal a push toward operations-heavy, equipment-and-people scheduling verticals. Expect continued usability and transparency refinements rather than category-redefining moves.
◆ Prediction
The next releases likely continue the mobile and history-log line and lean further into resource-heavy verticals. The blog's AI-resource-management posts hint at AI features, but no shipped AI capability is visible yet.
Planify
2.5PM
A GNOME task app that has turned CalDAV interoperability into the product.
◆ Current state
Planify is a GTK task manager for GNOME on a fast release train — six releases in the window shown, most of them sync work. The 4.19 line spent nearly all its effort making CalDAV survive real servers: Mailbox.org, Open-Xchange, Posteo, Nextcloud Deck, and DAVx5 on Android each got a named fix. Feature work still lands, but alongside the sync repairs rather than instead of them.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction shows in what gets fixed. Planify is positioning as the GNOME client that works against whatever CalDAV server you already run, not a client for one service — sync-token fallbacks, ETag retries, and CDATA parsing are all compatibility debt paid down per-server. The second thread is pushing into the desktop itself: a Shell search provider, system accent color, a CLI. Both are the same bet, that the app's value is behaving well inside an existing setup.
◆ Prediction
Expect another CalDAV compatibility pass naming a specific server next, since four of the last six releases took that shape. Feature work will most likely extend the backup and section support added in 4.19.2 rather than open a new area.
