Feature
In detail
Same philosophy, modern technology
Humble Planning carries forward SoPlanning's simplicity spirit — who does what, when — but with a 2026 stack: Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, Socket.io, Bun. The result: superior performance, native real-time and a smooth user experience.
Enhanced security
Humble Planning adds everything SoPlanning lacks in security: 2FA TOTP, 56 RBAC permissions, complete audit trail with restoration, Argon2id encryption, anti-brute-force, captcha, password history and remote session invalidation.
Built-in artificial intelligence
30+ AI tools accessible from ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini via the MCP protocol. Create tasks, analyze workload, generate reports in natural language. SoPlanning offers no AI features.
