What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While MasterPlan is fully usable now, it's still in the growth process. While I'm developing and improving upon MasterPlan, users can be benefiting from it and providing feedback and suggestions.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“The product is currently planned to be in Early Access until late 2022. (Previously, this was until late 2021, but this date had to be moved back due to a complete program rewrite.)”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will most likely feature additions to enhance usability, such as:

  • A map to allow abstraction of a large amount of Tasks.
  • Git integration to allow completion of Tasks through Git as a part of your development workflow.
  • Cross-plan linking.
  • Multi-window support
  • Complete UI rework
  • Improvements to font and text handling

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“MasterPlan is currently completely usable, and features many nice tools to assist with planning projects and assisting your workflow, including automatically numbered todo lists, progression-based tasks, images, GIF and sound playback, editable maps for planning spaces, whiteboards for planning designs or images, and timers.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, as MasterPlan grows even more powerful, the price will rise accordingly.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan on taking community feedback to help design MasterPlan around their usage and prioritize community suggestions, while also listening to bug reports to resolve issues. Users can submit feedback and bug reports on the Steam forums here.”

About This Software

Plan Your Way.


The best creations come from the best plans. To make the best plans easily, MasterPlan is there for you.

At its core, MasterPlan is a simple and innovative visual ideaboard and project management tool. It serves to simplify and streamline the planning process for creative endeavors. By giving you the tools you need to storyboard, plot, and actually see your project in its planning phase, it gives you the highest chance of actually completing it.

Need timers to keep yourself from whittling away hours on social media? MasterPlan is there for you. Need a place to consolidate image references? You can do that with MasterPlan, too. In MasterPlan, your project is customizeable and freeform, allowing you to set it up as you need, while still staying rigid enough to provide structure to your planning process.

MasterPlan includes:

  • Automatic to-do lists
  • Timers
  • Image, GIF, and sound support
  • Deadlines
  • Tables
  • Maps
  • User-customizeable themes
  • A suite of customization options
... and all on a freeform grid, enabling you to nearly-infinitely structure your plan in a way that works for your mind, specifically. In addition, projects are saved as plain, human-readable JSON files, ensuring compatibility with version control systems like Git or SVN.

The goal of MasterPlan is to make it easy to plan out ideas, and to give you flexibility while doing so. Before you open your game engine, word processor, or art editor, you open MasterPlan and plan it all out.

MasterPlan is currently in early access, and is receiving regular, steady updates that improve the functionality and usability of the program. These updates are lifetime updates and will remain free of charge for those who purchase MasterPlan. The cost of MasterPlan will rise as it becomes more and more feature-complete.

NOTE: Please note that M1 Macs are not supported currently, though it's on the todo list to add support for. Thank you!
