Desktop App for Planner?
There only appears to be a web version? Is there an app for a desktop on PC and/or Mac?
- Not currently,
There is a uservoice for it here

Would recommend you vote on it to push it up the agenda. Voting for the uservoice will also notify you if it has been picked up by Microsoft. I would also keep an eye out on this tech community for Planner AMA's where you can also raise this with the product team. There is a big appretite to push Planner forward so hopefully, we'll see something in the future
Hope that answers your question

Summary of the current situation (August 2023)
No Planner Desktop App is Available
Some wonder why Microsoft never developed a Planner desktop app. It’s probably due to a lack of engineering and support resources. But a good workaround exists because you can create a desktop app from the tasks.microsoft.com web site. For guest access to Planner in another tenant, a desktop shortcut might work. And there’s always the Tasks by Planner app in Teams. So maybe a Planner desktop app isn’t needed.
TonyRedmond One can go to the web version from tasks.microsoft.com but I can't see how one can get a desktop app? Workaround for me has been trhc and ... hove over apps then install and put on the taskbar.
