Product

The whole schedule, native on Mac and iPad

MPP Studio reads and writes the Microsoft Project .mpp file itself. Plan, track and share a programme on a Mac or an iPad, or open it in your browser, without Windows or a virtual machine.

MPP Studio on Mac: the task outline beside a Gantt chart with the critical path in red

The file

The .mpp itself, not an import of it

Opens and saves .mpp

Files from Microsoft Project 2010 through Microsoft 365. What MPP Studio saves opens in Microsoft Project as it should: tasks, links, resources, calendars and baselines.

Where your files already are

Open from Files, iCloud Drive, OneDrive or any folder, and save back to the same place. On Mac and iPad, your own files need no account.

No lock-in

Your work stays a plain .mpp. Send it to a client, archive it with the contract, or open it in Microsoft Project tomorrow with nothing lost.

Plan and track

Agree the plan once. Track every day against it.

Lock the plan, then track against it

Lock Plan saves the agreed programme as the baseline. From then on, actual starts, finishes and percent complete stay editable while the plan itself can’t drift. The chart shows slippage against the plan, and the sidebar forecasts the finish.

  • Critical path, calculated the way Project does
  • Link tasks by dragging from bar to bar
  • A grid that types like Project’s, keyboard first

Baselines and tracking, step by step →

MPP Studio on iPad: the schedule with phases, linked tasks, baseline bars and the Today line

Calendars built around shifts

Drag day, evening and night shifts into place. Public holidays added by country and kept as rules, so Christmas is entered once, not once a year. Save a calendar as a template and reuse it in every project.

The details

The details that save you a day

Inspector

Dates, status, constraints, predecessors, resources, custom fields and notes for any task.

Resources

People, crews and equipment, with assignments and over-capacity flagged as you plan.

Print on one page

The system Print dialog, with a fit-to-one-page option for the site office wall.

Metal-fast Gantt

Drawn on the GPU, so big programmes scroll and zoom without a stutter.

Apple Pencil

Mark progress on site with the Pencil. Hover works on every control.

Any window size

In full screen, Split View or Slide Over, the table and chart adapt, down to a single pane.

Platforms

One plan on Mac, iPad and the web
