Frequently asked questions
If yours is not here, ask. The answer usually belongs on this page anyway.
- Can I pay yearly?
- Yes. Paying yearly costs $190 a seat instead of $228, which is 2 months free. A seat is an accepted member, so invitations cost nothing until somebody takes one up.
- Is flanner really free?
- Yes. The CLI, MCP server, and local web UI are open source under the MIT license and free to use forever. You can read, fork, and self-host the whole thing from GitHub.
- How do I install it?
- Run pip install flanner, then flanner init in your project. It auto-registers with Claude Code and Codex.
- What is Flanner Mesh?
- A hosted tier for teams. Plans sync directly between your authorized devices rather than into our storage: Flanner Mesh manages accounts, billing, devices, and access, and does not store your plan content. It's on the roadmap, not available yet. Join the waitlist to hear when it lands.
- Do I need an account to use flanner?
- No. The local tool stores everything in a SQLite database on your machine and works entirely offline. An account only comes into play with Mesh, later.
- Which AI assistants does it work with?
- Claude Code and Codex out of the box (via CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md), plus any assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol.
- Can I contribute?
- Absolutely, it's open source. Open an issue or PR on GitHub.
