Can anyone recommend any project management software for a Mac? Doesn't have to be all bells and whistles as I just want it to plan and monitor a light restoration of our house.
I'll be doing it all myself so I won't need to be managing trades or anything. It's as much for planning and making sure I'm getting everything in the right order as anything else (I'm a complete amateur so I'm usually half way through one project when I remember that I should have started on something else altogether...then when I attack that I realise there was something else again that needed to be done first).
I've used MS Project at work (at a superficial level) and it would be ideal, but I really don't need anything like that complicated. And to be honest, I'd be hoping for something free to download.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
For simple stuff, just use Excel.
Trello
Have a look at Merlin
Curio has some features too I think
Both do free trials I believe
Personally I prefer Trello style stuff. Leankit is my preference.
If you want more traditional tools maybe check out the omnigraffle suite.
+1 for Trello.
Omnigroup software for the Mac is grand - I'm a massive fan. But not cheap - I suspect it'll be overkill too...
I use Gantter for this, its free and web/Chrome based
Trello has just been bought by Atlassian so is only going to get better.

😯 so it's more like Jira?
I can't believe how much they paid for Trello, seems an insane valuation (to me). Still Joel Spolsky will be laughing, he made 100x more money out of that than developing VBA....

Zenkit
Wow - thanks for all the ideas. I've got some serious free-trials-ing to do...

ProjectLibre is an open source MS Project alternative that offers a mac client.

My suggestion also. I am Mac based and this is ok for simpler stuff I need
