Watch for pile-ups
If several bars stack up in the same window, that is often a sign the schedule is too tight.
Set a project start date, add tasks with a start offset and duration, and watch a horizontal Gantt timeline draw itself automatically.
A Gantt chart does not need complex dependency logic to be useful. Just knowing when each task starts relative to the project kickoff, and how long it runs, is usually enough to spot scheduling conflicts, gaps, or an unrealistic pile-up of work in one week. This tool keeps the model deliberately simple, so you can sketch out a rough project timeline in a couple of minutes rather than fighting with a heavier project management tool.
If several bars stack up in the same window, that is often a sign the schedule is too tight.

Enter its start as the number of days after the project start date, not a calendar date. The chart converts that into an actual date for you automatically.
It marks today's date on the timeline, if today falls within the current project span.
Yes, overlapping tasks are common in real projects and the chart will show their bars overlapping on the timeline.
Yes, use Download as CSV to get a spreadsheet-ready file with each task's name, start date, duration and end date.
