About GanttProject
A desktop Gantt tool on a multi-year cadence, tethering itself to its own cloud
GanttProject is a desktop project scheduling application released every one to three years, with occasional build-only tags in between. The most recent feature update, 3.3, added calculated columns driven by SQL expressions in the task table, project-relative week numbers, and a native Apple Silicon package. The intervening tags are packaging work rather than product: restoring Linux and Windows builds, and producing both Intel and Silicon macOS packages.
