Desktop App for Planner?
- 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
Best, Chris
Neale_C I had been using this PWA setup for a long time, but something changed in a recent update. I no longer have the app option, and when I click the existing Windows quick launch button it just opens a blank browser window now. I'm guessing Microsoft grew tired of folks using this handy workaround! Very disappointing.
Chris_Pollard Hi Chris (& others that venture here), the same thing just happened to myself. After a few tried of it not working, I simply repeated the steps of adding the page as an app and removed the old app icon from my taskbar and Start menu.
Hopefully you and others can do the same and resolve the issue. I don't imagine this will happen with every update, but it bound to happen periodically with this workaround.
RyanFitz Yeah, that's what I was trying to do too, but I'm not even getting the option to install. Tried it in Chrome 115.0.5790.171 and Edge 115.0.1901.200.
Oh, THIS is interesting! It's working in Edge today. Yesterday the "Apps" option wasn't even showing in the menu! Still no option to install in Chrome though, which was what I had the PWA installed as previously.
Still, Microsoft needs to fix this and just make it a standalone app. They're Microsoft. This can't be terribly difficult of time consuming for them!
Still working for me! Windows 11 RyanFitz
