Project Online shuts down on September 30, 2026. Get your plans out first.See the three steps

Free online project management

The free Microsoft Project alternative that opens your .mpp files

Gantify runs in the browser. Import the plan you already have, keep dependencies, constraints, calendars and baselines, and carry on scheduling. No licence, no seat counting, nothing to install.

Free in early access. No credit card, no sales call.

We launched in 2026, so here is the honest version

  • No customer logos to show off

    We are not going to invent numbers. Gantify is new: judge it on the feature list and on the import of your own file, not on a wall of logos.

  • Your data leaves as easily as it came in

    Every project exports to Project-compatible XML and CSV. If Gantify disappoints you, the plan leaves with you.

  • The gaps are written down

    Earned value, Monte Carlo, PERT and automatic resource levelling are not in the product. It says so on every comparison page instead of in a footnote.

What is inside

A real scheduling engine, not a task board with bars

Gantify does the arithmetic Microsoft Project does: dates come out of dependencies, calendars and constraints, not out of drag and drop.

  • 01

    Gantt with real scheduling

    Four dependency types (FS, SS, FF, SF) with lead and lag, constraints, deadlines, summary tasks, milestones and an automatic critical path.

  • 02

    It reads your .mpp

    Upload the file Microsoft Project wrote. Tasks, links, calendars, resources, assignments and baselines come across, and the import report lists whatever we could not map.

  • 03

    Calendars that match reality

    Working weeks, public holidays and per-resource exceptions, inherited from a base calendar the way MS Project does it.

  • 04

    Resources and workload

    Assign people and equipment, see day by day who is over-allocated, and fix it where it actually matters.

  • 05

    Share without buying seats

    Invite the whole team to a workspace. Reading a plan or commenting on it never costs a licence.

  • 06

    Nothing to install

    Any modern browser, on a laptop or on a phone. The plan is one link away, always the current version.

Migration

Leaving Project Online before September 30, 2026

Microsoft is switching Project Online off on September 30, 2026. There is no grace period and no read-only mode: whatever is still in there on that day becomes unreachable. Three steps and you are out.

  1. Export from Project Online

    In Project Web App open each project and save it as .mpp, or download it with Project Professional. Do this while the service is still running.

  2. Import into Gantify

    Drop the .mpp into a new workspace. We parse tasks, dependencies, calendars, resources, assignments and baselines, then show you a report of anything we could not map.

  3. Check the numbers and carry on

    Compare the critical path and the project finish date with the old plan, invite your team, keep scheduling. Nobody needs a licence to open it.

Questions people actually ask

Is Gantify really free?

Yes. The scheduling app, the .mpp import and unlimited collaborators are free during early access. If we ever add a paid plan, the projects you already have stay readable and exportable.

Can it really open Microsoft Project files?

Yes: .mpp from Project 2003 onwards, plus Project XML and Primavera .xer. The import report names every field we could not map instead of dropping it in silence.

What exactly happens to Project Online on 30 September 2026?

Microsoft retires the service. There is no extension and no read-only period, so the data has to be exported before that date.

Do I have to install anything?

No. Gantify is a web application: no desktop client, no plug-in, no admin rights needed.

What is missing compared to Microsoft Project?

At launch: earned value analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, PERT estimates and automatic resource levelling. Everything about scheduling — dependencies, constraints, calendars, critical path, baselines — is there.

Where is my data stored?

On servers in the European Union (Germany). You can export a full copy whenever you like and delete the workspace in one click.
