SpanPlan

I wanted a simple timeline tool for planning projects with my team. Every tool I tried required everyone to create accounts, set up workspaces, and wait for invites. By the time we were ready to plan, we'd lost momentum.

So I built SpanPlan.

Instant Collaboration

Create a timeline, share the URL, and anyone with the link can edit. No accounts, no invites, no waiting. Changes sync in real-time across all viewers.

You can optionally sign in to keep track of your timelines, but it's not required.

Features

  • Drag and resize items directly on the timeline
  • Multiple rows for parallel workstreams
  • Day/Week/Month views with smooth zoom
  • Backlog panel for unscheduled items - drag them onto the timeline when ready

Keyboard Shortcuts

For the power users:

  • Cmd+B - Toggle backlog panel
  • Cmd+K - Search and jump to any item
  • Escape - Close panels

The backlog input stays focused after adding items, so you can rapid-fire add your entire backlog in seconds.
