Lightweight Project Planner
Turn tasks, dates and dependencies into an editable project timeline, with milestones, progress and portable backups.
How can I plan a project with tasks and dependencies?
Add tasks with inclusive start and end dates, progress, owners and dependency links. Move or resize bars on the Gantt chart, or edit dates using the form. Circular links are rejected; early starts are flagged. Align dependency dates explicitly to move tasks after their predecessors. Save a project backup or export CSV, SVG and a printable schedule.
From first step to finished.
Dates, dependencies and a clear place to begin.
