Generally personal planning apps are either too simple, essentially just lists of goals – or too complex with resource sheets, Gantt charts, critical path analysis, and more. At Target Horizon we have decades of experience in project management. We have used that experience to produce Plans, a product that reduces planning to its fundamentals,  and then makes that easy to use.

Each of these views can be seen as a list. Here the individual tasks may be amended or the ordering may be changed.
