Gantt timeline
A free Gantt timeline for small teams.
A Gantt timeline shows tasks as horizontal bars on a time axis — start on the left, end on the right, length equals duration. When the team is under ten people, that shape is exactly what you need: a single picture saying who is doing what, when. All Do is a free, web-based planner with that picture as its main view: one swimlane per teammate, drag-and-drop bars, PTO that auto-splits, realtime sync, no credit card, no setup wizard.
Try All Do — freeWhy a Gantt is the right shape for a small team
The Gantt format has a reputation problem. People associate it with Microsoft Project, 2000-row exports, six-week onboarding, and the certainty that whoever owns it has long since stopped updating it. None of that is the format's fault.
For a team of three to ten the Gantt is actually the cleanest possible representation of a plan:
- One axis says "who" — swimlanes on the Y axis make capacity visible at a glance.
- One axis says "when" — time on the X axis is universal; everyone reads it the same way.
- Bars say "what and how long" — task name + duration in a single shape.
- Overlap says "trouble" — two long bars on the same swimlane the same week and you have a conversation to have.
Compare that to a Kanban board, which is the other thing teams try. Kanban tells you what's in progress; it does NOT tell you when something will be done, who is overcommitted next month, or whether someone's vacation breaks a deadline. For a small team, that's a daily question — and Gantt answers it.
What "free" actually means here
A lot of "free Gantt" tools are free-with-asterisks: free for 14 days, free for 1 user, free for 1 project, free if you give us your email and meet a sales rep, free until you want to share with your team. We've shipped All Do free with no asterisk for this whole phase:
- No credit card to sign up.
- No seat cap, no project cap.
- No paid tiers in the product at all right now.
- No demo call required to unlock the editor.
All Do ships changes continuously; the changelog (rendered live on the landing from the git log) is the source of truth. If your team needs a frozen, change-controlled tool, a heavier paid option is the safer call.
How All Do's Gantt works in 30 seconds
- You sign in with Google. The app drops you straight into a sample board with three teammates and six tasks so you see the format immediately.
- Each row is one teammate. Each task is a draggable bar on that row.
- Drag the body of a bar to move the task in time; drag its right edge to resize the duration; drag it onto a different row to reassign.
- Switch zoom between day, week, month, quarter and year via the slider in the toolbar.
- Add PTO once per person and every task that crosses it auto-splits, so working-day counts stay honest.
- Share the board read-only with anyone via a public link. The shared view strips the editor chrome and shows names as initials only.
Where All Do's Gantt is intentionally simple
We're not trying to be Smartsheet or TeamGantt. Specifically:
- No hard dependencies. All Do has soft "blocker" badges — visual indicators that one task is waiting on another. They don't auto-shift dates when a blocker moves. For a team this size, the math usually isn't worth the cost.
- No resource levelling. No automatic re-allocation based on availability. The capacity strip shows over-allocation in green / amber / red, but you decide what to do about it.
- No critical path. Same reason — at ten people the team knows what's on the critical path; surfacing it visually adds noise more than it adds clarity.
- No baselines / variance reports. You can see the plan as it is now. Tracking variance against a frozen baseline is a feature for accountability-heavy environments; small design teams usually trust the team more than the artefact.
If you need any of those, this is not your tool. If you don't, the simplicity is the feature.
When a paid tool makes more sense
- You're past ten people, with multiple teams that need rolled-up plans.
- You have a dedicated project manager who needs critical path, baseline, and resource-levelling out of the box.
- You're billing clients per hour and need time tracking and invoicing.
- You need air-gapped / self-hosted / on-prem deployment.
For those, look at Smartsheet, TeamGantt, MS Project, or Wrike. All Do is the opposite design centre.
Frequently asked questions
Is All Do's Gantt timeline really free?
Yes. All Do is free — no paid features, no tiers, no card. The Gantt timeline, swimlanes, PTO handling, realtime sync, and read-only public link sharing all work without payment. Aetix LLC operates the product.
What's a Gantt timeline, in plain words?
A Gantt timeline shows tasks as horizontal bars on a time axis. Each bar's left edge is the task's start date, the right edge is the end date, the length is the duration. In All Do every bar also sits on a horizontal swimlane for the person responsible, so the picture says who is doing what when, on one screen.
Does the Gantt support dependencies?
All Do has "blockers" — soft UI indicators that show one task is waiting on another. They surface a small badge on the bar but they don't auto-shift dates when a blocker moves. For a team of ten that wants speed and clarity over rigour, this is usually the right trade. Hard dependency math is on the roadmap; if you need it today, a heavier tool is the better fit.
Does it work on mobile?
All Do is built mobile-aware — the landing and Your boards screens reflow to a single column on phones, and a public read-only board displays cleanly on a phone screen. The full editor (drag, resize, multi-select) is desktop-first; phone is best for viewing and quick checks.
How does it compare to Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or TeamGantt?
Those tools are built for the same shape — bars on a time axis — but for bigger teams, with paid plans, complex dependencies, and resource-levelling features. All Do is the opposite end: ten-people-or-fewer, free, no setup, no learning curve. Pick All Do if you want to be planning in 60 seconds; pick the others if you need rigour.
