About the Gantt Chart & Dependency Planner

This tool turns a plain list of tasks into a proper project timeline. Type in what needs doing, how long each task takes and what it depends on, and the planner works out real start and end dates for every task, flags anything that's scheduled to clash, and highlights the chain of tasks — the critical path — that actually controls your finish date. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Who it's for

Tradespeople and builders sequencing a multi-stage job — a kitchen fit-out, extension or driveway — around suppliers and other trades.
Home renovators planning their own project and wanting to know when the kitchen actually gets finished, not just how long each job takes on its own.
Small business owners planning a launch, refit or seasonal push with a handful of moving parts.
Makers and small workshops sequencing batches of custom orders around drying, curing or delivery times.
Freelancers juggling client deliverables where one stage can't start until another is signed off.
Event planners coordinating a venue, vendors and a run-up timeline that all have to land on the day.
Students planning a dissertation or group project around fixed milestones and deadlines.
Office and admin staff running a small internal project without needing to learn full project-management software.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Gantt chart maker actually free to use?

Yes, for up to 10 tasks. Every part of building your timeline — dependencies, lag days, milestones, statuses, and the full chart and schedule — is free with no watermark. The one-off payment removes the 10-task limit and unlocks the polished CSV export, the print-ready report and a downloadable offline copy of the tool.

How is the critical path calculated?

The tool runs a forward and backward pass through your task dependencies to work out how much slack, or spare time, each task has. Any task with zero slack — meaning a delay to it delays the whole project — is highlighted as part of the critical path.

What happens if I create a circular dependency by mistake?

The planner checks for loops every time you change a dependency. If two or more tasks end up depending on each other in a circle, you'll see a clear warning listing exactly which tasks are involved, so you can fix it before relying on the dates.

Can I schedule around weekends?

Yes — turn on Skip weekends and every task is scheduled using working days only, so Saturdays and Sundays are automatically skipped when calculating start and end dates.

Will I lose my project if I close the tab?

No. Use Save Project any time to download your whole plan as a JSON file, then Load Project to bring it back on this computer or any other. Your work is also kept automatically in this browser between visits.
