Project Planner - A Simple Task List That Tracks Progress

Track tasks with an owner, status, priority, and due date, filter by status, and watch progress update live. Free, saved in your browser, export to CSV or Excel.

Saved projects
How does saving work? (free, private, no account)
  • Free, no account, no subscription. Saving your projects costs nothing and needs no sign-in.
  • Saved in this browser only. Your projects are stored on this device and never uploaded to a server, so they stay private, but they do not sync to your other devices or browsers.
  • Clearing browser data removes them. Private / incognito windows do not keep saved projects. On a shared computer, anyone using this browser can see them, so use New or Delete when you are done, or export the file and delete it.
  • Nothing here is behind a paywall. If cross-device sync is ever added, it would be a separate optional account feature; local saving stays free.

A lightweight project planner for real work

Most small projects do not fall apart on the big decisions; they drift because tasks have no clear owner and no due date. This planner keeps those two things front and centre. Every task gets a name, an owner, a status, a priority, and a due date, so nothing sits in limbo and it is always obvious who is doing what next.

The progress summary counts the tasks marked Done against the total and updates the moment you change anything, so you get an honest read on where the project stands. Filter the list by status to focus on just the open work, reorder tasks to match your priorities, and add or remove rows as the plan evolves.

When you need to share, export the task list as a CSV that opens anywhere, or as a real Excel workbook with the columns already laid out: Task, Owner, Status, Priority, and Due. The print view gives you a clean copy for a stand-up or a status update, and Save as PDF keeps a snapshot.

Everything is saved to your own browser and never uploaded, so your plan stays private to your device. There is no account and no cost, which makes this a fast place to shape a plan before it needs to live in heavier project-management software.

How the Project Planner Works

  1. 01Name your project and add a row for each task with an owner, status, priority, and due date.
  2. 02Update a task's status as work moves from Todo to In progress to Done, and reorder rows to match your priorities.
  3. 03The progress summary counts done tasks against the total live, and you can filter the list to one status at a time.
  4. 04Export the task list to CSV or a real Excel file, or print a clean copy for a stand-up or status update.

Keeping a small project on track

Most projects do not fail on the big things; they drift on unowned, undated tasks. Give every task a single clear owner and a due date, even a rough one, so nothing sits in limbo. Use priority to decide what to do next when time is short, and keep the list honest by moving things to Done only when they are actually finished. A short, current task list that everyone can read beats a detailed plan that no one updates.

When to Use a Project Planner

Use it for any piece of work with more than a handful of moving parts: a product launch, a house move, an event, a client deliverable, or a team sprint. It suits freelancers and small teams who need a shared, exportable task list without the weight of full project-management software. Because it stays in your browser, it is a fast, private way to plan before anything needs to live in a bigger tool.

Common Use Cases

Tips

  • Give every task one owner and a due date, even a rough one, so nothing sits unassigned.
  • Use priority to decide what to do next when time runs short, not to rank everything at once.
  • Move a task to Done only when it is truly finished, so the progress count stays honest.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is progress calculated?
The summary counts how many tasks have the Done status against the total number of tasks, and shows both the fraction (for example 3 of 8 done) and a percentage. It updates instantly as you change statuses, add tasks, or remove them, so the number always reflects the current list.
Can I filter to just the open tasks?
Yes. You can filter the list by status to see only Todo, only In progress, or only Done tasks, or show everything at once. Filtering only changes what you see; your exports and the progress count still cover every task in the project.
What is the difference between the CSV and Excel exports?
Both contain the same columns (Task, Owner, Status, Priority, Due). CSV is a plain text file that opens anywhere and is easy to import into other tools. The Excel export is a real .xlsx workbook, which is nicer to open directly in Excel or Numbers with the columns already laid out.
Can I reorder tasks?
Yes. Each task has move-up and move-down controls so you can arrange the list in the order that makes sense, such as by priority or by sequence of work. The order is saved with the project and carried through to your exports and the print view.
Is my project saved automatically?
Yes, to your own browser, so your project is still there when you return to the page. Nothing is uploaded to a server, which keeps it private but also means it lives on this device only and is removed if you clear your browser data.
