One page per job
The team, the tasks, the tables, the field log and the activity sit under one project number.
Projects and tasks
Every job, its team and its work, on one page.
Open a project and find the team, the tasks, the tables, the field log and what changed. Tasks and the shared calendar run across all your jobs.
Projects and tasks at a glance
From a to-do to a plan
Tasks nest up to 20 levels deep, link as dependencies and show as a list, a board or a table.
One shared calendar
Events and tasks sit on the same calendar, with conflicts shown as you schedule.
01The project page
Open the job and everything about it is there.
Each project gets a number like PRJ-001 and one page with tabs for its tasks, team, tables, field log and activity. A won lead or a won bid becomes a project in one step.
- Team members with roles on each project
- Statuses and project types you define
- A Labor tab shows hours and cost from Timesheets
02Tasks
Tasks that grow from a to-do into a plan.
Switch between a list, a board and a table. Sub-tasks go 20 levels deep, progress rolls up on its own, and each person sees the tasks their role allows.
- Assignees, labels, priorities, watchers, checklists
- Dependencies, comments with mentions, attachments
- Reminders go out before deadlines
03Calendar
One calendar for events and tasks.
Day, week, month, agenda and timeline views show the company's events and tasks together. Booking over someone's time shows a conflict warning first.
- Drag and resize in the time grid
- Recurring events: edit this one or all
- Filter by person or category
04Tables
Tables with typed columns and formulas.
Build the spreadsheet you keep for a job right inside the project. Add formula columns and subtotals, and the numbers update as you type.
- Text, number, currency, date, select, formula, link
- Row formulas, subtotals and rollups across tables
- Shared company tables copy into a project

Questions about projects.
Want to see a project set up like yours? Book a demo.
Does it do budgets and job costing?
Labor cost, yes: the project's Labor tab shows hours and labor cost against a labor budget. Full job costing, invoicing and change orders are not in Chantro yet.
Is there a Gantt chart?
There is no Gantt view on tasks, which show as a list, a board or a table. The Gantt chart is in the estimate Schedule.
Does it work with Google Calendar?
Google Calendar is reached through the AI assistant, not shown as a mirrored view. In Chantro's own calendar, tasks appear alongside events, and you can create a task from it. You can start an event from a saved template.
Who sees which tasks?
Each person sees the tasks their role allows, based on their place in your org chart. Recurring tasks and task templates cover the jobs you repeat, and file attachments, reminders and checklists sit on the task.
What is on the phone?
Tasks and the calendar are in the phone app: list, detail, create and edit for tasks, and an agenda for the calendar. The phone has no board view and fewer calendar views. Project pages are on the web.
Can I import a spreadsheet into a table?
Not today: tables cannot import from Excel or CSV. You can build the table in Chantro, or copy a shared company table into a project. Column types are text, long text, number, currency, date, select, checkbox, formula and link, and who may change a table's structure is set apart from who may enter data.
