History

Settings

Durations are working days. Turn a day off and work stops crossing it — a task keeps its duration and takes longer on the calendar, which is what the shaded gaps are. A day off is the same answer given to a date rather than to a weekday.
What the row label says, then what this plan calls each channel and the values behind it. Removing a value reassigns its tasks rather than orphaning them.
A channel is a rendering, not a meaning — so a meaning can move. Send “dev / QA / prod” from the border to the fill and the tasks come with it; what you choose below is how each one should be drawn once it gets there. Nothing is merged, and it is a big change — Save first if you might want it back.
How far the chain lights up. Hover is a glance — you are sweeping the pointer to see what each bar touches, so it stays shallow; a click is deliberate, so it reaches further. Anything past the limit is still drawn, just left grey: you asked not to be told should not look like there is nothing there.
Four relationships, four styles. Solid is one hop, dashed is the rest of the chain — so a colour reads as a direction and the dash as distance. Stored on the plan, so a plan can carry its own convention.
A task's reference is half a link. This is the other half, and it lives in this browser, for this plan only — never on the document, so it is not in the plan, not in the archive, and not in the link you hand someone to show them the chart. That is deliberate: a reference names a row in a system it does not identify.
{ref} is where the reference goes. Leave it out and the reference is appended to the end. Clear the box to turn reference links off.
The ordinary plan link carries none of this. Send this one only to people who are already inside — it puts the tracker's address in a URL, and a URL gets forwarded.
Nothing here belongs to a plan. Import creates a new plan for each one in the file — it never writes over a plan that already exists, and the ids in the file are only suggestions. Each new plan gets its own link, and that link is the only way back to it.
This hides a pointer, not an author. Anything you change is still sequenced, still broadcast to the room, and still attributed to you — so the honest use is watching a plan you are not editing, not editing one unseen.

Every style, side by side

Each axis independently — the combinations multiply into the hundreds and none of them would tell you anything these three rows don't. Drawn with the same code the chart uses, so it cannot drift.

Order

A lane is a serial queue and ties break by position, so the order rows sit in is the order that team works in — and it is the one scheduling input that leaves no arrow on the chart. Each move below is measured against the order you have now, so applying one changes the rest: they are recomputed after every apply.

Timeline Studio

A delivery plan you can argue with in the room. Lanes are queues that can only do so much at once, tasks wait on each other, and the date at the top is computed, never typed — so when someone says "could that start later?", you drag it and everyone watches the answer move.

The link is the key. A plan has no login and no owner — anyone holding its link can read and edit it, and the link is the only way back to it. There is no list of your plans and no way to recover one from a lost link. Keep it somewhere you keep things, and share it exactly as widely as you mean to.

Plans you have opened
    Have a look around
    Keys
    • F frame what is on screen — whichever view you are in
    • C clear every filter, the search box and the view toggles
    • Enter or Space open the task you are on, again to grow the panel
    • Tab walk the chart without a mouse, one task a step
    • Esc close whatever is open, one layer at a time

    Dates are computed from durations, dependencies and how much each team can run at once — so the finish date is an answer, not a field. Every edit reaches everyone looking at the plan immediately; Save writes a version with a note, which is the only description of a change anybody gets later.
