Listub Activity Planner review: plans, dates and people out of the group chat

Plans made in a group chat tend to scroll away before anyone has agreed on anything. Listub Activity Planner is a family planner app that gives those plans a proper home: the idea, the place, the date options and the people involved, all in one shared view. Listub, the all-in-one organiser from Cologne-based Galveo, introduced the module in October 2023.

This review uses Listub's published module page, plan details and guides rather than hands-on testing. We cover how activities are structured, date proposals and recurring sessions, privacy, the shared calendar, pricing and who the module suits.

What is Listub Activity Planner?

Activity Planner is Listub's module for outings, events and recurring sessions. Each activity collects the place, a link, the cost, notes and anything that needs to be prepared, plus the participants who are involved. Plans are written down, dated and visible to the right people instead of living in chat logs and screenshots.

Listub's own guide describes the flow simply: collect ideas first, add participants, attach the location, notes and timing proposals, then confirm the final plan so there is one source of truth.

Key features: date proposals, recurring plans and categories

Instead of forcing a date up front, you can propose several options and lock in the one that works. Recurring sessions repeat on their own, which makes the module useful for weekly training, rehearsals or a regular games night. Categories such as Family, Friends, Sports, Events and Study keep a busy list readable, and filtering to one category can double as a light record of how often you actually get out.

Editing is inline, so changing a time takes seconds and everyone on the activity sees the update without a follow-up message.

• Multiple date proposals with one confirmed date
• Recurring sessions
• Location, link and cost fields
• Notes and a what-to-bring list
• Category filters

Privacy and the shared family calendar

Only the participants you add can see an activity, its notes and its updates. That selectivity is what keeps a family schedule from turning into another noisy feed: a parents-only dinner does not show up for the kids, and a child's club schedule only reaches the people driving.

Dated activities also flow into Listub's unified calendar, which gathers entries from every module into month, week and day views. You choose which rooms feed the calendar, so a household can see school events next to task deadlines, trips and subscription renewals without entering anything twice.

Everyday uses for families and groups

Listub describes three main audiences. Families can track school events, appointments, trips and who is driving in one place both parents can edit. Parents can use it as a kids activity planner for clubs, training and hobbies, with the location and packing list on each entry. Friend groups can plan dinners, hikes and film nights with one set of trusted details.

Galveo AI helps with quick entries. Requests such as 'dinner with friends on Saturday', 'movie night this Friday' or 'yoga class Tuesday morning' become draft activities that you confirm before saving.

Offline use and pricing

Plans can be reviewed and edited offline and sync as soon as you are back online. Creating activities with dates, places, notes and categories is free, as is every Listub module. The free plan is limited to one device, up to five rooms as owner and no sharing of your own rooms, although free users can join rooms that a paying member shares.

Premium adds cloud sync and sharing, three devices and up to 50 rooms as owner. Family adds three members, up to 400 rooms and up to 20 devices, which suits households where several people plan activities. Both plans are budget-priced, with launch pricing locked in for early subscribers.

Is Listub Activity Planner worth it?

For a single person planning their own outings, the free plan covers every feature, so there is little reason not to try it. The value really appears when several people are involved: one Premium or Family subscription lets the organiser invite participants, and free users can join those rooms without paying. Families who already juggle school events, club training and weekend plans will likely get the most from the Family plan, which adds three members and up to 20 devices.

Activity Planner also benefits from its neighbours in Listub. A trip that grows out of a weekend idea can move into Travel Hub, the shopping for a party can go into the Shopping List, and the tasks before an event can sit in Task Manager, all in the same app and calendar.

Limitations and verdict

Activity Planner is built for personal and family plans rather than as a replacement for a work calendar, and everyone who wants to follow a plan needs Listub on iPhone, iPad, Android or Mac. There is no web or Windows version, which can be a hurdle for mixed friend groups.

For households and groups already using Listub, though, it fills a real gap between a chat thread and a calendar entry, with just enough structure to turn 'we should do something' into a plan people show up for.

Frequently asked questions

Listub Activity Planner turns scattered chat plans into structured activities with dates, places, participants and packing notes, and its link to Listub's unified calendar makes it more useful than a standalone event list. It is not a work calendar, and it depends on everyone using the app on iOS, Android or macOS. For families juggling kids' clubs, appointments and weekend outings, it is a practical, well-designed family planner app in 2026.
