What it is
Plane is an open-source project tracker. It has work items, cycles, and several ways to look at them, including a board and a calendar.
What it is good for. Edition 14 covered where the words live. This is the other half of that: where the plan lives. One video is really four pieces of work: the script, the recording, the translated version, and the blog post that goes with it. They share one publish date. Kept only in somebody's head, that structure is the first thing to slip.

Good
- The calendar view is exactly the shape a publishing schedule needs.
- It runs on your own server, so unpublished plans stay there.
- It is moving quickly. Version v1.4.2 was published on 23 August 2026.
Watch for
- The licence is AGPL-3.0, with the same condition as Windmill above.
- It is heavy for one person. Postgres, Redis, a file store and several containers, wanting 2 to 4 GB of memory.
- A tracker only helps if you open it every day. If you know you will not, a plain text file in your repository is the better answer, and it is free.
Install
mkdir -p ~/plane && cd ~/plane curl -fsSL -o setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeplane/plane/master/deploy/selfhost/install.sh # Read setup.sh before you run it. It writes files and starts containers. chmod +x setup.sh ./setup.sh
