Show HN: A Minimal Monthly Task Planner (printable, offline, no signup)

56 points - today at 5:29 AM


Hi HN,

I built a tiny tool because I couldn’t find a clean, distraction-free monthly planner that:

1. shows a clean monthly task view 2. doesn’t require an account 3. doesn’t sync or store anything online 4. works offline 5. is printable 6. and keeps a minimal, distraction-free aesthetic

So I made https://printcalendar.top/ — a minimal monthly task planner.

It’s intentionally simple. No logins, no integrations, no dashboards. Just a small tool for people who want structure without clutter.

        This is exactly what I was looking for yesterday - a simple printable calendar that can fill an A4 or A3 page. However, I was more interested in a monthly version, rather than yearly. I tried vibe coding a simple Python script to generate a version that could suit me with Gemini CLI, but the results were comically bad (granted, I gave up pretty early on). I am sure there are plenty of similar solutions online, but I couldn't find one I really liked, at least from some basic Googling.

          This doesn't allow to add events nor it stores anything, it's just to print, right? Thanks all the same!

      I love the simplicity! Does this store state in the browser?

      Have you considered adding an export/import data option? I was actually expecting "Copy link" to have my months worth of event data encoded in the url after the # (so it would never be sent to the server, but means I could share the month with a friend). Just an idea.

          If you look at the traffic, it doesn't send anything (I could test) to its server, and there are entries in browser's local storage.

        Wonderful. I wish there was the possibility to sync data among browsers, but that would probably defy the whole purpose of this. Is there a repository?

            I accessed it with Safari and directly click "Print/PDF". It will be better if:

            - Default orientation is Landscape

            - Calendar is be printed in a full page format

                Also got half-height on Google Chrome.

                On Firefox it just gets stuck on "Preparing Preview" when pressing the print button...

                    Worked fine on mine.

                        Then it's probably an issue with my local Firefox install. Thanks for pointing this out.

                  Looks great. I like simple, useful tools.

                  Is it worth a) adding a link to your source repo (if it exists) b) add a license somewhere? c) add a README on how to self-host (even if simple).

                      Thanks for your reply. Yes, I will do it later

                    I really like your Minimal Monthly Task Planner, is it also responsive? Great idea, simple, I like the side notes; if possible, I'd add a list above or below.

                    Thanks, I'll use it and print it at home.

                        Thanks! Glad you liked it.

                        Yep, it’s responsive — though the layout gets a bit tight on very small screens, so I’ll tweak that later.

                        About the “list above or below” part — what kind of list were you thinking of? Like a separate to-do list outside the calendar, or just more space for notes?

                        Curious to hear what you meant!

                        It seems not possible to drag and drop from one day to another.
