The idea-first hub for developers
Planelo is an idea-first workspace for developers. Capture, structure and connect ideas across iPhone, iPad and macOS — without the clutter of traditional project tools. Each idea and project exposes an API endpoint, enabling automations and custom workflows. This launch brings a clean interface, keyboard-friendly navigation, encrypted sync, and API keys to turn ideas into actions.
Planelo's idea-first workflow lets users start with vague concepts and graduate them to structured projects only when ready. This eliminates the friction of traditional tools like Jira that force ticket creation upfront, serving as the missing middle layer between notes apps and project trackers.
Planelo uses AES-256 encryption for stored content and HTTPS/TLS for transport. The company explicitly states it does not sell user data and implements industry-standard security practices, appealing to developers and founders concerned about data sovereignty.
Planelo offers API-first design with REST API access, allowing developers to programmatically capture ideas from scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and AI agents. Pro plan includes API access and CI/CD integration, enabling seamless automation of idea capture into the workflow.
Planelo's minimalist interface and offline-ready design with cross-device sync (iOS, iPad, Mac, Android) allow indie developers and startup founders to track side projects, sprint backlogs, and roadmaps without the overhead of enterprise PM tools. AI task breakdown automatically splits large goals into manageable subtasks.
Planelo provides a Smart Inbox to instantly capture raw thoughts, coding ideas, and feature requests without forcing structure upfront. Ideas can be tagged, prioritized, and organized later, preventing loss of inspiration that typically gets buried in notes apps or forgotten.
