SheetPlanner Brings Sync and Collaboration to its Long-Range Planning Software for macOS Users

Virginia-based indie developer, SheetPlanner Software LLC has announced SheetPlanner 3.0, which adds sync, collaboration, and more to their planning, project and and task tracking application for macOS. 

SheetPlanner allows anyone to organize tasks, perform long range planning, manage projects, and more. Users can plan and visualize goals in a convenient timeline view – by days, weeks, months, quarters, and years while also focusing on their most immediate tasks in the calendar.

Activities can be organized in the app’s outliner, and categorized using the standard columns including start and finish dates. Create custom date, text, number or drop-down list columns. Quickly link to documents and web sites.

“Project management doesn’t have to be difficult,” says SheetPlanner Software owner Peter Davey. “SheetPlanner makes it simple to plan and visualize your long term goals, helping to keep your projects and tasks on schedule until they’re finished.”

Users can plan and visualize their goals, project tasks and schedules in SheetPlanner’s convenient timeline and calendar views. It’s easy to quickly view all task’s and their duration and sequence. Timelines can be viewed by days, weeks, months, quarters, or years.

“We designed SheetPlanner to allow users to easily track everything they need to accomplish their goals and complete all of their tasks,” continues Peter. “We also want users to be sure SheetPlanner is the right app for their needs, so we offer a free 21-day trial. Users pay only after they’re sure SheetPlanner fits their unique needs. However, I’m confident they’ll like it once they’ve tried it.”

SheetPlanner 3.0 requires macOS 10.15 or later. Version 3 is a free upgrade to existing users and US$49.95 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) for new users. SheetPlanner 3.0 is available worldwide via the Mac App Store and via Setapp. A 21-day trial version is available for download. Users can continue to use multiple sheets and all features of the outliner after the trial has expired. A convenient in-app purchase of $49.95 will unlock the app’s full features after the trial has expired. Review copies are available to journalists upon request.
