Reliable

Reliable is a browser-based planning tool designed for academic and other forms of complex, long-horizon individual work.

The tool implements a structured planning method centred on three core steps:

1. Work mapping: Users map the full structure of their work by decomposing objectives into concrete tasks.
2. Capacity alignment: Users estimate realistic task durations, define their available working time, and apply a buffer margin. The system makes overload visible when planned work exceeds capacity.
3. Timeline scheduling: Tasks are placed on a visual timeline only after scope and capacity are aligned.

Unlike many project management tools that are optimised for team collaboration, Reliable focuses on individual researchers and professionals working independently or in small groups. It emphasises constraint awareness, realistic time estimation, and explicit trade-offs.

Plans can be exported as PDF for sharing and reference, or as JSON for data portability and reuse.

The tool runs entirely in the browser, requires no account, and is designed with privacy-conscious analytics.
