Why this tool?

Juggling multiple concurrent submissions is cognitively demanding. This tool lets you maintain a simple spreadsheet and instantly visualize your submission timeline as a Gantt chart. No account, no server, no installation. All data stays in your browser and is never sent to a server, so your privacy is fully protected.

How to use?

  1. Import data. Click + Blank table to start, Load example to see a demo, or drag and drop an xlsx/csv file to import your existing data. You can also download a template as a starting point.
  2. Edit the table. The Gantt chart updates automatically as you type.
  3. Export results. Use the Export xlsx / Export csv buttons to save your table, and PNG / PDF / SVG to download the chart.

Tips

  • Date formats — YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM. Append (expected) to Submitted to mark a planned date.
  • Resubmissions — fill in Resubmitted after a rejection to unlock a second round of review columns. Fill Resubmitted 2 for a third round.
  • Accepted oral/poster — use Accepted (oral) or Accepted (poster) to distinguish the presentation type on the chart.
