What you can do with Gantt Maker

Weekly planning

The weekly Gantt chart makes it easy to place work on a timeline.

Projects, groups and tasks

Organize your work into separate projects and group each project's tasks to make them easier to read.

Agent collaboration

MCP connectors and plugins let you manage the board from your favorite agent.

Real dependencies

You can set dependencies between tasks with a click. These dependencies automatically reschedule dependent tasks if a blocking task is delayed or its estimate changes.

Direct visual editing

Task bars can be moved and resized dynamically by dragging with the mouse.

Export

You can export your chart as Excel, PDF, image or PPTX, or copy it as a table.

What makes Gantt Maker different

Each project has its own Gantt. Create tasks directly and organize them into groups when needed. Color identifies each group, and its bar summarizes its tasks' dates. Switching projects opens another Gantt. Forms complement dragging so you can also edit on mobile.

Ease of use

Gantt Maker is the simplest, most intuitive Gantt creator available. Seriously.

Free access

Gantt Maker is 100% free. No payment or account required.

Privacy first

Your plan is saved in your browser. Projects, tasks, assignees and dates are not sent to any server.

Polished UX

In-app tutorials and animations help anyone quickly understand how to build their Gantt

Designed by people who use it

We use and improve the tool all the time. We are not a corporation fulfilling a management request.

Why it was created

Gantt Maker started in 2026 after Tomás saw people building plans by coloring Excel cells, adjusting date ranges in Google Sheets, dragging squares in PowerPoint or asking an agent for HTML. These were different solutions to the same need: a Gantt that felt easy to create and maintain.

Looking for a website to use himself, he found alternatives whose design and user experience did not convince him, and saw the same dissatisfaction in other users. He decided to create Gantt Maker to care for that experience, from the first task through date and dependency adjustments.

The team

Tomás Perrando is Gantt Maker's sole developer.

How Gantt Maker works

  1. Create a project and organize its tasks into groups, for example by phase or deliverable.
  2. Set dates and durations on the weekly calendar. Draw, move and resize the bars, or use the forms.
  3. Assign people and connect tasks that depend on others.
  4. Review the calendar when estimates change. With “Respect dependencies” enabled, affected successor tasks move when you move a bar.
  5. Download a JSON copy to keep the project, or export the chart in the format you need to share.
