Who it’s for
Start on your own. Add people when you need them.
It’s the same plan the whole way, so nothing changes when a client or a team joins.

With clients
Send a view-only link. Clients see live progress without an account, so you stop sending status emails.
- Unlimited free viewers
- Always the latest version
- Excel export when they need a file
+ Editors
With your team
Invite people to edit with you. Everyone sees changes instantly, and you can see who’s working on what.
- Real-time editing and live cursors
- Assignments and workload
- A weekly status email for anyone who turns it on
Product
Four views of the same plan.
Plan in the Gantt, update tasks in the List or on the Board, and check progress in Reports. Change something anywhere, and every view is up to date.
Move a date. The rest of the plan follows.
Link tasks and GanttFather moves the dates for you, and for everyone who can see the plan. The critical path shows which tasks can’t slip.
- Four dependency types, with lead and lag
- Critical path, updated as you edit
- Subtasks that roll up into their parent
Automatic scheduling
Link tasks four ways and the dates update on their own.
Critical path
See which tasks decide your finish date.
Real-time collaboration
Edit together and see who’s working where, live.
Client links
Share a view-only link. No account needed.
Excel import & export
Bring your spreadsheets in and send reports out.
AI assistants
Let Claude, Cursor or VS Code update your plan for you.
