BarD Software s.r.o.

BarD Software s.r.o. is a Prague-based developer that has specialized since 2003 in creating lean, cross-platform productivity tools for individuals and small teams who want professional-grade planning without the cost or complexity of enterprise suites. The company’s only public offering, GanttProject, is an open-source desktop application that combines classic Gantt charting with resource assignment, workload monitoring, dependency tracking, and export to Microsoft Project, Excel, PDF, and HTML. Typical use cases range from university students mapping out semester-long group assignments to construction foremen scheduling subcontractors and IT consultants keeping fixed-price contracts on deadline. Users drag tasks on a timeline, attach cost and personnel data, level overloaded resources, and generate PERT or PDF reports for stakeholders who do not have the program. Because the software stores plans in plain XML and runs identically on Windows, macOS, and Linux, teams can exchange files freely or keep them under version control. Optional cloud connectors let managers publish read-only road-maps to Google Drive or WebDAV servers so that clients follow progress without editing rights. BarD Software keeps the codebase lightweight—no background services, no telemetry, and no mandatory registration—so installations can be carried on a USB stick for field use. GanttProject is available for free on get.nero.com, where the download is delivered through the trusted Windows package manager winget, always installs the latest release, and can be queued alongside other applications for unattended batch setup.
