Overview
This free template helps you plan projects on a drag-and-drop timeline, so your team can see what is happening this week and what is coming next.
It includes a sample database to show how to structure users, projects, and tasks. You can also connect to any Softr-supported source like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, monday.com, HubSpot, and more.
Why use this Gantt chart template
- Change dates by dragging: Drag a task bar to move its start and end dates, and the record updates in your database right away.
- See ownership and progress together: Every bar carries its assignee and status, so you can spot unowned or stalled work without opening a report.
- Group tasks under projects: Expand a project to read its tasks, or collapse it to keep the timeline legible when you run many projects at once.
Template features:
- Drag-and-drop timeline
Drag any task bar to reschedule it, and the new start and end dates save to your database immediately.
- Projects with nested tasks
Group tasks under a parent project, then expand or collapse each project to control how much of the plan you see.
- Task assignment
Assign each task to a team member and see their avatar on the bar, so ownership is visible at a glance.
- Status tracking
Move each task through Todo, In progress, and Done, and read the state of the plan from the timeline itself.
- Project completion percentage
Each project row shows how many of its tasks are done, so you can report progress without counting by hand.
- Task and project detail forms
Open any bar to edit its name, description, dates, status, and assignee in a focused modal.
- Fullscreen planning view
Open the timeline fullscreen for planning sessions and screen shares, then return to the app in one click.
- Built with the Vibe Coding block
The timeline is a Vibe Coding block, so you can change how it looks and behaves by prompting the AI Co-Builder.
Who is this Gantt chart template for?
This template is built for teams that plan work across weeks and need one shared timeline. It's a great fit for:
- Project and program managers: Sequence tasks, adjust dates when things slip, and keep every stakeholder looking at the same plan.
- Agencies and consultancies: Track several client projects side by side, with a clear owner and deadline on each deliverable.
- Product and engineering teams: Map a release across sprints, then open a single task to update its status or description.
- Operations teams: Plan recurring internal projects, such as audits or onboarding programs, without buying dedicated project software.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Gantt chart?
A Gantt chart is a timeline view of a project. Each task appears as a horizontal bar placed according to its start and end dates. Reading across the chart shows you the order of the work, which tasks run in parallel, and where the deadlines fall.Who should use a Gantt chart template?
A Gantt chart template is useful for project managers, agencies, product teams, and operations teams that plan work across several weeks. It suits any team that keeps a plan in a spreadsheet today and struggles to see how tasks overlap.Can I change task dates directly on the timeline?
Yes. Drag a task bar sideways to move it, or drag its edge to make it longer or shorter. The new dates save to the underlying record right away, so your database and your timeline never disagree.How do I edit or customize this template?
Duplicate this template into your Softr workspace, then prompt the AI Co-Builder to adapt it, for example ask it to add a task priority field or group the timeline by assignee. Prefer hands-on control? Use the visual editor to change pages, fields, and permissions yourself, and edit the timeline's own Vibe Coding block directly.What data sources does this Gantt chart integrate with?
Softr includes a native, built-in Database, and also connects to 21+ external data sources including Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, monday.com, SQL databases, Supabase, and ClickUp.
You can also use native Softr Workflows to automate project tasks, for example notifying an assignee the moment a task lands on them, or alerting a project owner when a task passes its end date while still marked Todo.
Can I control who sees and edits each project?
Yes. Softr supports granular roles and permissions, with visibility controls at the page, block, or button level. A client can view a read-only timeline while only your team edits it. Softr also offers SOC 2 Type II compliance, SSO, and European data hosting.
