Planndu is a secure productivity app for organizing tasks, managing to-do lists, building habits, and reaching goals. Its $1.5K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of June 2026.

Where it sits in the data

Planndu's $1.5K a month is higher than 46% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, a similar product needs a clear buyer among busy individuals, goal achievers, and mindful focusers. Distribution would come from app stores, integrations, templates, and word of mouth within productivity communities.

The hard parts are maintaining reliable storage and syncing, handling privacy and account security, supporting multiple devices and integrations, competing with established productivity tools, and managing a broad feature set.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

A focused productivity app can combine task management, recurring reminders, templates, calendar connections, and export tools for a defined audience of individual users.
