SchedPlus

A lightweight, local‑first desktop scheduler built in Python.
Status: Alpha • Actively Maintained • Accepting Contributions

Why This Exists

Most scheduling tools try to do everything — calendars, reminders, syncing, accounts, cloud dashboards — and end up feeling heavy or overly complex.

SchedPlus is intentionally the opposite:

• simple
• local‑first
• lightweight
• predictable
• no accounts
• no cloud
• no clutter

It focuses on one job: helping you plan your day without getting in your way.

Overview

SchedPlus is a clean, predictable desktop scheduler built for people who want structure without noise.

It emphasizes:

• fast startup
• a minimal interface
• local‑only task storage
• a small, readable Python codebase
• an offline‑first workflow

SchedPlus currently ships with a stable Tkinter UI, while a full PyQt migration is underway to deliver a more modern, cross‑platform experience.

Features

• Local task creation and management
• JSON‑based save/load
• Offline‑first workflow
• Tkinter UI (stable)
• PyQt UI (in development)
• Clean logic/storage separation
• Beginner‑friendly codebase

Requirements

To run or develop it, you’ll need:

Python 3.10+
pip Tkinter
PyQt6

Supported environments:

Windows 10+
Linux (Ubuntu 24.04+)

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/ZFordDev/schedplus.git
cd schedplus

pip install .
python -m schedplus

Recommended: use a .venv.

Installation

SchedPlus binaries will be available once the packaging pipeline is complete.
Until then, install from source:

pip install .

Usage

Basic usage:

python -m schedplus

The UI will open and allow you to create, edit, and save tasks locally.

Project Structure

SchedPlus uses a simple, predictable layout designed to keep UI, logic, and data clearly separated.
