Problems

Section titled “Problems”
Problem Fix
The dashboard is empty A different address, browser or private window, or the browsing data was cleared. Import your JSON backups.
PDF export is not available The export service is busy or down. Try again in a few minutes, or use Print from the browser instead.
Locally: “the export service isn’t running” Start with pnpm dev (it starts both), or run pnpm --filter @planner/export-node dev in a second terminal, then Check again.
Locally: Could not start Chrome Install Google Chrome, or set CHROME_PATH to a Chrome or Chromium before pnpm dev (below).
Locally: Port 3000 is in use The app already runs in another terminal. To find it: Windows Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3000, Linux and macOS lsof -i :3000.
The printout is slightly too small or large The print dialog scales: choose Actual size / 100 %. Check with the calibration sheet.
The backs are upside down Choose the other flip edge (long ↔ short).
The backs come out in the wrong order Toggle Backs in reverse order in Export.
A page looks broken after an update Reload with Ctrl+F5 (Windows, Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (macOS).
A text is cut off on a page Shorten it, or raise the block’s height in the designer. Please report it if it happens with the template’s own text.

Another Chrome or Chromium

Section titled “Another Chrome or Chromium”

Set CHROME_PATH in the same terminal, then start pnpm dev:

Okno terminala
$env:CHROME_PATH = "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
pnpm dev

With Docker none of this is needed: Chromium is in the image.

Questions

Section titled “Questions”

Is it free? Yes. YAPCO is open source under the MIT licence.

Can others see my planner if I share the link? No. The link opens an empty app; everyone’s planners stay in their own browser.

Can I use it on a phone? For viewing and small changes, yes. Designing and printing work best on a computer.

Can I change the edition later? Yes: change the modules in the Preview’s planner settings.

Can I start mid-month? Yes: pick any start date. The first week is complete even if it starts in the previous month.

Can I write my own quotes? Yes, in Content, or import them from a spreadsheet (CSV).

Is the Recovery Edition a therapy? No. It is a paper tool to use alongside therapy or a support group. In a crisis, contact your therapist, a helpline or emergency services.

Where do I report a problem? GitHub issues: the template, edition, format and language, what you expected and what you saw.
