My life is pretty disorganized with stuff at school, work, and extracurriculars. For a few months now I've been encouraged to get a planner instead of keeping it all in my head. Now don't get me wrong, I love taking physical notes and doing homework on paper with my nice pens and such. However, I do need a planner that syncs from my phone, laptop, and desktop.

I've been scouring for an open source solution to all this and a few months ago, I found Super Productivity. It had pretty much all of what I needed, places to put down tasks, a pomodoro timer, clients for desktop and mobile, and a place to see my progress. I didn't use its syncing features though, because, it only allows dropbox, webdav, and local file sync. I thought it was pretty incomplete.

Over the course of this week I realized that I had a NAS that I could access outside of home so I could sync everything with my synology drive folder, allowing uploading and downloading of the .json file across all my devices. This works extremely well and very seamlessly. Now, I have a completely open source solution that doesn't really ping any servers apart from saving a .json file locally and then syncing to my server. It's a dream come true and works works amazingly.

After seeing how much this piece of software has transformed my life, I am hoping to share this and hope you guys will start using it as well and support this dev. Planners usually cost me around $10 or so, I'll probably give the dev at least that much once my paycheck rolls in.

Too bad it's MIT licensed, but oh well, nothing's perfect ๐Ÿคท.

Irrelevant. You can sublicense MIT to GPL by forking if you're so inclined.

Hm, that's good to know actually, cuz I don't think the same applies to BSD.
