There are quite a few good project management apps for Mac, including Merlin, OmniPlan and iTaskX. All have their particular merits, but what I really like about Planit is its simplicity and directness. It is not as sophisticated as Merlin, nor does it have quite as many graphic options as OmniPlan or iTaskX, but when I grab a task bar and drag it, I know exactly what is going to happen: Planit is not going to tell me that due to some obscure violation I cannot move the task or the group of tasks 2 days forward or 6 days back; and if visual adjustment is what suits you, you will find that most task editing may be done with the mouse: moving and extending task times, creating and deleting dependencies, and adjusting completion indicators, all with the minimum of visual clutter.

Early versions of Planit were somewhat buggy and limited in display options, but this version (1.1) has blossomed into a straightforward project management app that provides all the basics in an elegant way, gives you fine control over the appearance of gantt charts—and costs a fraction of the alternatives.

I'd love to try this but it asks for administrator access to install - as I can't think of any reason it would need root access I won't let it install as it may be a trojan.
