Gantt chart software for Windows
A serious project planner that installs on your PC the way software used to: runs offline, keeps its data in files you own, and is bought once instead of rented.
Built for the desktop, not ported to it
A real desktop app
Installed on Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), with a bundled database, nothing else to set up. Not a browser tab that dies with the connection.
IT-friendly rollout
Per-user setup for individuals, or a machine-wide .msi for fleets, deployable through Intune, SCCM or GPO like any serious Windows software.
Light on hardware
About 200 MB of disk and 4 GB of RAM. It runs comfortably on modest office machines, no GPU, no requirements drama.
License that respects Windows reality
One license covers two machines (work and home), validates offline with public-key cryptography, and a PC swap is a free, same-day reissue.
Three editions, desktop, single portable file, or self-hosted team server, on the download page.
What you get in the box
"Buy once" does not mean "lite". One license includes the entire toolkit, no add-on tiers, no per-feature upsells.
AI assistant, 39 tools
Drafts whole plans, reschedules, levels overloads, simulates what-if slips, writes status reports and a Monday brief. Your key, any major provider or a local model.
A real scheduling engine
All 4 dependency types with lag, conflict detection, working-day and holiday math, and Critical Path Mode that lights up the chain setting your end date.
Baselines and variance
Snapshot the plan, measure drift with variance KPIs as work moves, and restore from a baseline when reality diverges.
Workload heatmap
Team capacity per person per week, across projects, with overload badges and a drill-down to the exact tasks driving the peak.
Executive Magic Overview
A one-page project story with KPIs, milestones and presentation mode. Exports to native PowerPoint for the steering meeting.
3D Timeline Show
Fly through your plan in a cinematic 3D scene: glass timeline, gem milestones, glowing dependency lines.
Dashboard and My Tasks
A dashboard that forecasts the deadline, briefs your week and drills into the Gantt on click; plus a personal command center with list, kanban and calendar views.
Swimlanes and views
Group the timeline by person for a resource view, day/week/month zoom, a mini-map for big plans, and rich filters.
Undo with history
100 steps deep, with a history panel that can jump the whole plan back to any earlier point in the session.
10 export formats
Excel, CSV, MS Planner, MS Project XML, native PowerPoint, vector PDF reports, baseline reports and lossless JSON. Imports Excel, CSV, MS Planner and MS Project XML.
Real-time team server
Live updates over your own network, manager and member roles, comments with @mentions, an in-app notification feed plus email and a weekly brief digest.
Engineering you can measure
10,000+ automated tests, date math verified across nine timezones, and an offline Ed25519 license with no activation server.
Windows questions
Is GanttPulse a native Windows application?
Yes, it installs and runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) as a desktop app with its own bundled database. There is no browser dependency and no cloud account; your projects are files on your disk.
Can IT deploy it across many machines?
Yes. Besides the per-user installer there is a machine-wide .msi (ALLUSERS) built for fleet deployment via Intune, SCCM or Group Policy.
What are the system requirements?
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, roughly 200 MB of disk and 4 GB of RAM. It is deliberately light: modest office hardware runs it comfortably.
Is there a macOS or Linux version?
Windows is the supported platform today; macOS and Linux builds are available on request, tell us what your team needs at [email protected]. The team-server edition also lets non-Windows machines participate through the browser on your own network.
What does it cost?
A one-time license, $79 per seat at launch, free during the beta (beta users lock in $49). No subscription; a year of updates is included and the app keeps working after it.
