Planelo

Planelo is an idea-first workspace and project hub specifically designed for indie developers, solo founders, and builders. It focuses on capturing, structuring, and connecting raw ideas before they turn into tasks, bridging the gap between simple note-taking apps and full-scale project management software. Planelo emphasizes secure, encrypted synchronization across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and offers developer-grade tooling, including API endpoints for automations and custom workflows.

How to Use

Users capture ideas instantly using low-friction input (like Cmd+N), organize them into a structured flow (Projects, Ideas, Specs), and refine concepts in a dedicated scratchpad before execution. The platform supports cross-device syncing and allows users to integrate custom scripts and automations by generating API keys.

Key Features

• Idea-First Structure (Ideas before tasks, refine concepts before execution)
• Developer-Grade Tooling (API keys for automations, Markdown support, share extension)
• Zero-Knowledge Architecture & Encrypted Sync (AES-256 encryption across all devices)
• Keyboard-First Navigation and Distraction-Free UI
• Cross-device sync (iPhone, iPad, Mac Catalyst)

Use Cases

• Managing and structuring raw thoughts and messy sparks into executable projects for side projects and early-stage products.
• Connecting API endpoints to AI agents or custom scripts to automate project tracking and idea ingestion.
• Replacing scattered notes and complex corporate project tools with a focused, secure, and developer-centric workspace.
• Organizing APIs, automation workflows, and notes linked directly to real execution.
