Gantt chart software free online, connected to your tasks
In ProjectLead the Gantt chart is not a separate drawing: it is a view of the project's real tasks. What you drag on the timeline changes the task dates, and the whole team sees it right away.
Free for 3 ongoing projects, no credit card and no time limit.
A Gantt chart in the browser, nothing to install
ProjectLead runs in the browser, on a computer or a tablet. There is nothing to download: open your account, create a project, and the Gantt chart is there. The Free plan includes it for 3 ongoing projects, with no time limit.
The chart shows the project stages, their tasks and milestones on one timeline. The scale switches between day, week and month, and the today line stays in view.
- Drag a bar to move its dates
- Pull the right edge to change the due date
- One click opens the task
- Undated tasks listed separately
Dependencies and milestones
A task can wait for another one to finish: the dependency is drawn and the blocked task is flagged. Milestones mark the dates that matter, such as a delivery or a handover.
Each stage has start and end dates, an amount and its people. Colors show the status: done, in progress, late. You see what slips before the client notices.
The Gantt chart is one of 4 views
The same tasks also appear as a kanban board, a list and a calendar. Whoever prefers columns works on the board, the project manager watches the Gantt chart: everyone sees the same data.
For a team, the Workload view completes the Gantt chart with each person's hours against capacity. That makes ProjectLead a fit for a small business as well as for freelancers.
A schedule drafted by the AI Assistant
The built-in AI Assistant prepares the work for you: it can propose a full project plan (stages, tasks, milestones, dependencies and dates) or a batch of changes, shown in full on a "To confirm" card. One click on "Confirm" applies it with your permissions; the assistant never sends an email to your clients.
The proposed plan then appears in the Gantt chart like any other: you can still reschedule it with the mouse.
Free, and more when you need it
The Gantt chart is part of every plan. Beyond 3 ongoing projects, Pro opens unlimited projects for one person and Pro+ for a team of up to 5. See also our page on free project management software.
Build your first Gantt chart
Create the project and give it a start date. Add the main stages, for example study, preparation, delivery and handover, then the tasks of each stage with their duration. Link tasks that follow each other with a dependency and set a milestone on the dates promised to the client.
Then open the Gantt tab: everything is already on the timeline. Switch to the week scale for a project of a few months, or to days for a tight schedule. When a delay happens, drag the bar: the date changes for the whole team, and the stage shows whether the project is still on track. A well built project can then become a reusable template.

You choose the plan inside ProjectLead (Settings, Company). Once paid, it also opens VisitLead and CashLead at the same level, at no extra cost. Finished and archived projects, templates and requests to qualify do not count. A limit only stops you from opening one more project; it never blocks your data.
