Desktop App for Planner?
- Not currently,
There is a uservoice for it here
https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/34471954-desktop-application
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
MicrosoftColinFBMH I realize this thread is almost 2 years old, but want to share a hack for this that was recently shared with me. While there isn't a desktop app, there is a way to get you to nearly the same experience:
1. Open the MS Planner app in the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser (this is important)
2. Click the three horizontal dots to the far right of the URL bar
3. Hover over Apps
4. Click "install this site as an app"
This will give you the ability to pin it to your taskbar, creating an experience very close to a desktop app.
Hope this is useful!
Jenn_Marescalco Thank you for taking the time and trouble. ooks quite a hack! 🙂
@Jenn_Marescalco Just the job! Thank you for sharing this hidden gem!
I can see it is a similar idea to the Lists "desktop app", which I only discovered by accident a few days ago. It makes me question whether there are any other "desktop apps" that I don't know about yet......- Thanks Jenn, exactly what I was looking for;-)
Jenn_Marescalco GG, I think this solution is best and works wonders. At the end of the day we want to be able to easily open it and access the Planner. This 'install site as an App" is a perfect workaround for that. Thanks so much for sharing!!
- Thank you Jenn_Marescalco!! Very helpful indeed, keeping a link to Planner and in it's own windows for on demand use.
Jenn_Marescalco Thank you, this was very helpful & worked perfectly
Jenn_Marescalco thank´s for this usefull trick
- This is AWESOME!
- This is a useful hack. Thanks
- I am very late to the party but this is INCREDIBLY useful. I'm working out of AWS Workspace Server 2019 and so apps like "Microsoft Todo" are not installable.
I've been looking everywhere for something similar - since I am kind of odd and dislike website apps as they are.
This is excellent and I could see this being incredibly useful in some form through our org. Thank you!
