Description
LibreCAD is an open-source CAD software available for Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms without any cost. Users benefit from extensive support and documentation provided by a thriving community made up of users, contributors, and developers. The initiative began as an effort to integrate CAM functions into the community version of QCad for a Mechmate CNC router. Due to QCad CE being built on the outdated Qt3 library, a port to Qt4 was necessary before further improvements could be made, leading to the temporary creation of CADuntu. However, after a brief period, the community concluded that the name was not suitable and engaged in discussions to find a more fitting title, resulting in the adoption of LibreCAD. The transition of the rendering engine to Qt4 was a significant undertaking, and as a result, LibreCAD initially relied on the Qt3 support library. Ultimately, this port was completed during the development of the 2.0.0 series, thanks to the efforts of our chief developer, Rallaz, marking LibreCAD's evolution towards being completely independent of Qt3, except for the 1.0.0 series. This transformation not only enhanced the software's capabilities but also solidified its position within the CAD community.
Description
ProjectLibre offers both desktop and cloud-based project management solutions for professional scheduling, portfolio oversight, team collaboration, risk assessment, and AI-powered planning. The cloud edition imports Microsoft Project .MPP and .XML files, allowing organizations to migrate existing schedules without recreating their project plans. Its scheduling tools include Gantt charts, critical path analysis, task dependencies, calendars, baselines, milestones, resource leveling, and earned value management. With ProjectLibre AI, users can turn natural-language project descriptions into complete work breakdown structures with tasks, dependencies, resources, durations, and milestones.
ProjectLibre Desktop is the leading open-source alternative to Microsoft Project, with more than 8.7 million downloads across 193 countries. Available in 31 languages, it is also used by over 1,700 universities worldwide.
ProjectLibre Cloud is a SaaS and AI-powered collaboration platform for project teams, offering organizations a compelling migration option ahead of Microsoft Project Online’s retirement on September 30, 2026.
