PlanovaQuickShell

An Omarchy 4 shell plugin that replaces the date/time bar widget with a Planova-backed panel: the clock label stays (plus a badge counting today's undone todos), and clicking it opens a calendar with per-day indicators, the selected day's events, tasks, and notes, quick add, refill, and a notes browser.

Everything reads and writes Planova's plaintext markdown files directly - <Org>/dailies/YYYYMMDD.md and <Org>/notes/**/*.md - using the same parsing and insertion rules as Planova itself, with atomic writes. Both apps watch the files, so edits made in one show up in the other within seconds.

Install

omarchy plugin add https://your-git-host/PlanovaQuickShell.git
omarchy plugin enable fr.rvier.planova

For development, symlink the checkout instead (note: omarchy plugin add refuses symlinks, but the running shell loads them fine):

ln -s ~/Projects/PlanovaQuickShell ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/fr.rvier.planova
omarchy-shell shell rescanPlugins

The inotify watcher does not follow the symlink, so after editing QML run omarchy-restart-shell to reload (omarchy-shell shell rescanPlugins alone does not reliably refresh already-compiled QML from a symlinked tree).

Then replace the clock in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json: in bar.layout.center, change the omarchy.clock entry's id to fr.rvier.planova (its format/formatAlt/verticalFormat settings carry over unchanged), and set bar.centerAnchor to fr.rvier.planova. The file hot-reloads on save.

Configuration

The plugin finds the Org root and templates from Planova's own preferences (~/.local/share/fr.rvier.planova/shared_preferences.json), falling back to ~/Org. Inline settings on the widget's shell.json entry override:

setting	default	meaning
format, formatAlt	dddd HH:mm, d MMMM 'W'ww yyyy	bar label formats (right-click cycles)
verticalFormat, verticalFormatAlt	as the clock	vertical-bar label formats
showTodoBadge	true	undone-todo count badge on the label
storagePath	Planova prefs → ~/Org	Org root
dailyTemplate	Planova prefs → built-in	seed for new daily files
todoHeaderRegex, eventHeaderRegex, logHeaderRegex	Planova prefs → built-ins	section header patterns

Use

Bar label: left click opens the panel, right click cycles the label format, middle click opens the timezone picker.

Panel keys - calendar: arrows/hjkl move the selected day (j/k by week), [] month, {} year, t today, Enter/Space focus the task list (then j/k + Space toggles a todo), a add a todo, e add an event, g add a log, r refill, o open the day file in your editor, n notes. Inside the quick-add form, Ctrl+E/Ctrl+T/Ctrl+L switch the entry type without leaving the title field. Notes: j/k move, Enter opens in your editor, / search, o new note, r (or right-click) renames, x deletes. Esc backs out, then closes.

IPC:

omarchy-shell ipc call fr.rvier.planova toggle
omarchy-shell ipc call fr.rvier.planova addTodo "buy milk"
omarchy-shell ipc call fr.rvier.planova addLog "shipped the release"

Development

PlanovaModel.js holds all parsing/insertion logic (ports of Planova's markdown_parser.dart and daily_content_helper.dart) and is Qt-free:

node --test tests/model.test.mjs

The test file includes 1:1 ports of Planova's own parser and content-helper test suites - they are the compatibility contract. If a test needs changing, Planova and this plugin have diverged.
