shadow-planner

Shadow-planner redefines project management by transforming a simple brief into a comprehensive project plan. Key features include: • Brief-to-plan generation • Gantt charts with dependencies • Resource utilization analysis • What-if scenario modeling • Interactive plan steering via chat This desktop application, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, allows users to quickly draft full project structures—epics, tasks, owners, and timelines—from a brief. The unique chat interface enables users to modify plans, query workloads, re-schedule tasks, or re-baseline epics using natural language. Every proposed change is reviewed and approved by the user before being committed. Shadow-planner prioritizes user control and privacy. It runs on a local model by default via Ollama, ensuring an offline experience with no account, cloud dependency, or subscription required. Users also have the option to connect external providers like Anthropic Claude or OpenAI. This tool is ideal for project managers, team leads, and anyone needing a powerful yet intuitive project planning tool that remains entirely in their control. Purchase is a one-time fee.
