Reliable

Reliable is a browser-based planning tool designed for academic and other forms of complex, long-horizon individual work. It implements a structured planning method that helps users map the full scope of their work, estimate realistic task durations, and align …

What it does

  • Structured work mapping: Map the full scope of a project by decomposing objectives into concrete, manageable tasks.
  • Realistic time estimation: Assign durations to tasks to support more accurate planning and expectation-setting.
  • Capacity and constraint modelling: Define available working time and apply a buffer margin to account for uncertainty.
  • Overload detection: The system highlights when planned work exceeds available capacity, prompting revision before commitments are made.
  • Sequential planning logic: Enforces a disciplined workflow: mapping → estimation → capacity alignment → scheduling.
  • Visual timeline scheduling: Place tasks on a timeline only after the plan is internally consistent and feasible.
  • Plan export (PDF and JSON): Export plans as PDF for sharing and reference, or as JSON for data portability and reuse.
  • Designed for individual research workflows: Focused on researchers and professionals working independently or in small groups, rather than team-based project management.
  • No account required: Fully usable without registration or login.
  • Privacy-conscious design: Minimal data collection with explicit handling of tracking consent and browser privacy signals.
