The Microsoft Project alternative your whole team can open.
Microsoft Project has the scheduling engine and the desktop heritage that comes with it. Cloudairy keeps the Gantt, the dependencies and the durations, runs entirely in the browser, and lets the whole team edit the plan at the same time.

Trusted by Professionals at Leading Companies
Serious scheduling. In a browser. Together.
Dependencies, auto durations and a real Gantt, with live multi-user editing and presence — planning stops being one person's file and becomes something the team works on.
The Gantt, without the desktop
Dependencies, auto-calculated durations and a full Gantt view that opens in a browser tab — nothing to install, nothing to license per machine.
Seven other views of the same plan
The plan the scheduler maintains is the board the team works from — same tasks, viewed as a board, calendar, table or list.
Status that writes itself
Cross-project dashboards, goals and timesheets on Business, with collaborative documents for the status report beside the plan.

Everything you'd expect from a screen recorder
Cloudairy Clips covers the full recording workflow — capture, share, transcribe and measure — then turns any recording into work.
And the part a recorder can't do: every recording can become a knowledge-base doc, a diagram on a board, or project action items — without leaving Cloudairy.
From screen to shipped — in three steps.
Record your screen
Hit record on any tab or your whole screen, with webcam and voice. No download to get started.
Turn it into work
The same recording becomes a knowledge-base doc, a diagram, and action items — inside your Cloudairy workspace.
Share & assign
Send an instant link, see who watched with per-viewer analytics, and assign the tasks — all in one place.
The scheduling engine, minus the desktop licence.

The verdict: Microsoft Project remains a genuine scheduling tool, and for a dedicated planner producing a critical path it does the job. The friction is everything around it: a desktop-first workflow, per-machine licensing, and a plan only one person really edits. Cloudairy keeps dependencies, durations and the Gantt, runs in a browser, and lets the team edit together — with diagrams, docs and recording included.
One recording, many jobs done.

Good to know
Is Cloudairy a good Microsoft Project alternative?
Yes for the majority of projects. Dependencies, auto-calculated durations and a full Gantt view arrive on Starter, in the browser, with the whole team able to edit at once instead of passing a file around.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Cloudairy runs entirely in the browser on any operating system, so there is nothing to install and no per-machine licence. The same plan is available to everyone with a link.
Can non-planners follow the schedule?
That is the main gain. The same tasks show as a board, calendar, table, gallery or list, so people who will never open a Gantt still see their work — while the scheduler keeps the Gantt view.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, free forever with no credit card: three editable items across boards, docs and projects, Kanban and List views, unlimited team members, real-time collaboration, monthly AI credits and the template library. Paid plans start at $8 per member a month.
Which plan do I need for workload and timesheets?
Business. It adds workload across the team, cross-project dashboards, goals, timesheets and logged hours, and roles, permissions and guest access. Starter covers Timeline, Calendar and Gantt views plus sprints, backlog, retrospectives and dependencies.
