Install on Windows

Visit the official website: https://plantodo.app/en/ and click Windows to choose from two installation options: a ZIP package or the Microsoft Store version.

Both versions provide the same application. We recommend installing from the Microsoft Store whenever possible. If you are unable to install it due to network issues or other reasons, you can download the ZIP package, extract it, and run the application directly.

Microsoft Store Installation

Click the link on the official website, or search for PlanTodo in the Microsoft Store, then install the app.

Updates are managed through the Microsoft Store.

To uninstall the app, use Windows' built-in Apps & Features settings. If you want to remove all application data, see the Uninstall section below.

ZIP Package

Because this version is not digitally signed, Windows may show a warning that the app could be harmful when launching it for the first time. This is expected behavior for unsigned applications. If you have any concerns, we recommend installing the Microsoft Store version instead.

PlanTodo does not contain any malicious code. Please download it only from the official website.

The reminder feature may not work properly in the ZIP version.

Installation

Extract the zip archive, navigate to the extracted folder, and find plantodo.exe. Double-click it to run.

This folder can be placed anywhere and will continue to work. You can also move it at any time.

Updating

Download the new version of the zip archive, extract it, and copy all files into the original folder, choosing to overwrite all existing files.

Uninstalling

If you want to keep your data, simply delete the folder containing plantodo.exe — this folder holds all the program files.

If you do not want to keep your data, also delete the following two items:

  1. In File Explorer's search bar, enter %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\app.plantodo\ and press Enter. This takes you to a folder — delete the PlanTodo folder inside it, which stores the Settings page configuration.
  2. In File Explorer's search bar, enter %USERPROFILE%\Documents\ and press Enter. Delete these three files: plantodo.db, plantodo.db-shm, plantodo.db-wal. This is the database that stores tasks, plans, and other data.

Coexistence

Both installation methods can be installed at the same time. Since they share the same data files, you can switch between them as long as both versions are the same.

However, do not run both versions simultaneously, as this may cause database corruption.

FAQ

Database Version Mismatch

If you have multiple versions of PlanTodo installed and encounter SQLite migration errors after opening an older version and then a newer version, the older version may have reset the internal database version number. When you reopen the newer version, it attempts to run migrations again, which may fail due to duplicate migrations.

Solution: Reset the database version number to the correct value.

  1. Download the SQLite command-line tools from https://www.sqlite.org/download.html .

  2. Replace Username with your Windows username and 79 with the correct database version number, then run the following command to update the database version:

sqlite3.exe "C:\Users\Username\Documents\plantodo.db" "PRAGMA user_version = 79;"
  1. Verify that the database version was updated successfully by running:
sqlite3.exe "C:\Users\Username\Documents\plantodo.db" "PRAGMA user_version;"
