What works the same as Project

  • A task list beside a Gantt chart: drag bars to reschedule them or stretch them to change a duration.
  • Link tasks with leads and lags, and see the critical path.
  • Ten views, from Gantt Chart and Tracking Gantt to Task Usage, Calendar and Resource Sheet.
  • People with hourly rates, and Level All to spread out overbooked work.
  • Save a baseline and compare it with the current plan.

What is missing

  • It's an early preview.
  • It isn't signed or notarized yet, so Windows and Mac warn you the first time.

How to get started

  1. Click Download and pick the file for your computer: the .zip for Windows, the .dmg for Mac or the .tar.gz for Linux.
  2. On Windows, unzip it and double-click PlanCraft.exe. The first time, click More info, then Run anyway.
  3. On Mac, drag PlanCraft into Applications. The first time, choose Open Anyway in Privacy & Security.
  4. On the Start Page, open the sample project or start a blank one.
