About

Elysium Productivity

Features

Elysium is a local-first planner and calendar built for people who want control over their time — and their data. After trying countless planning apps, it became clear that most tools force you into rigid systems, lock your data away, or charge ongoing fees just to manage your own life. Elysium was built to be different. Your data lives locally, in human-readable files. Nothing is trapped behind a server or subscription. You can use Elysium completely offline, customize it deeply, and extend it over time — without being boxed into someone else’s workflow. Elysium brings together planning, scheduling, and habit-tracking in a way that adapts to you, not the other way around. Key principles • Local-first by design — your data stays on your device • User-owned files — portable, readable, and future-proof • Flexible scheduling — tasks, events, goals, habits, appointments, reminders and projects in one system • Customizable workflows — shape the app around how you think and style it to match your unique requirements • Extensible foundation — designed to grow with with you and extend beyond the core functionality • Calm, focused interface — by default the screens are simple, but you can make them as complicated and colorful as you like Whether you’re planning your day, managing long-term goals, or building your own productivity system, Elysium gives you the structure you need without taking control away from you. No ads. No surveillance. No forced subscriptions. We only charge for things that actually cost us money, like cloud syncing on the Basic plan and server resources for collaboration and team management on the Pro plan. Just a tool designed to respect you and your time. Terms of Use: https://elysium.is/terms
