Gantt scheduling built for custom machine builders

Track every build from design through customer runoff — long-lead purchases, dependencies, milestones, and a customer-ready PDF schedule. Windows desktop. Your schedules are files on your machine, not rows in someone's cloud.

Design→ Long-lead procurement→ Build→ Debug→ Customer runoff
One-time purchase. No subscription. No account. 30-day refund, no questions.

Built by an automation engineer who got tired of fighting MS Project

Straight answers

What it is

  • Task hierarchy with automatic phase roll-ups
  • All 4 dependency types (FS/SS/FF/SF) with lag — drag to create
  • Milestones, categories, progress, priorities, markdown notes
  • Day / week / month zoom, fast even on big schedules
  • PDF / PNG export for customer status updates
  • Full undo/redo, autosave, automatic .bak backups
  • Plain JSON files — your data is never locked in

What it isn't

  • Not cloud, not multi-user — one planner, one file (share the PDF)
  • Not an ERP — no quoting, BOM, inventory, or job costing
  • Not capacity scheduling across machines — it schedules projects
  • Not a subscription — you buy it, you own it

If you need multi-user cloud, use Smartsheet. If you need a full ERP, look at JobBOSS or Total ETO. EasyGantt is for the shop that runs builds out of Excel today and wants something purpose-built — without a $9,000/yr commitment.

Questions a careful buyer should ask

Windows says "unrecognized app" when I run the installer. Why?

EasyGantt is new software from an independent developer, so Windows SmartScreen hasn't built reputation for it yet. Click "More info" → "Run anyway". The download page includes file hashes so you can verify what you got. Code signing is planned as the user base grows.

What happens to my schedules if EasyGantt goes away?

Nothing. Your schedules are human-readable JSON files on your disk, and the app never phones home or checks a license server — it will keep working forever. No lock-in is a design goal.

Who builds this?

A controls/automation engineer who spent years tracking machine builds in Excel and MS Project and built the tool he wanted instead. You'll get support email answers from the person who wrote the code.

Can I try it first?

There's a 30-day no-questions refund — buy it, load your current build schedule, and if it doesn't earn its keep, reply to your receipt email and you'll get your money back.
