Gantora turns a project plan into something you can actually keep: one plain text file that you own, that opens on your phone, your tablet and your computer, and that will still open in ten years. FREE — A FULL EDITION, NOT A TRIAL Five views of the same plan — Dashboard, List, Design, Zoom and Resources — and one plan file. Import from Excel and MS Project, export back out, publish a read-only page you can share with anyone. The AI button drafts a plan for you in the assistant you already use. Your file lives on your device or in your own Dropbox. No account, no sign-up, no time limit. GANTORA PRO — A ONE-TIME PURCHASE Team, Report, Cockpit, Presentation and Budget are the five Pro views. The other five — Dashboard, List, Design, Zoom and Resources — stay free, forever. Pro also lifts the one-file limit: as many plans as you like, side by side, with comparison and merge. It is bought once, inside the app. No subscription, nothing to renew, nothing to cancel. A purchase made here applies to the Gantora app on this platform. WHY A FILE Most planners keep your plan on their server. Gantora keeps it in a file you can read with your own eyes, copy, back up, e-mail, or hand to someone who has never heard of us. Nothing is locked in, and nothing needs an account. WHAT WE DON'T DO No account. No sign-up. No usage tracking, no analytics, no telemetry. Cloud folders and the AI button connect only when you switch them on, and only between you and the provider you chose.
