Overview
Understand the core pieces of Skedy before building a production schedule.
What is Skedy?
Skedy is a production scheduling app for planning work across departments, dates, tasks, events, crew resources, and shareable views. The main screen is a Gantt-style schedule with a sidebar, top bar, toolbar, task grid, task drawer, and supporting dialogs.
What are the main building blocks?
| Workspace | The signed-in user or organization area that owns projects, resources, templates, and settings. |
| Project | A single production schedule with its own name, subtitle, code, status, accent color, teams, tasks, share links, and export setup. |
| Department | A category such as Directing, Camera, Production, Art, Grip/Elec, Post & VFX, Cast, Locations, or Sound. |
| Team or row | A row inside a department. Tasks are placed on rows. Rows can be reordered, renamed, added, deleted, and included or excluded from exports and templates. |
| Task | A scheduled piece of work with a title, date range, department, row, status, priority, resources, notes, checklist, and activity history. |
| Event | A special task type for production moments such as shoot blocks or reviews. In grouped view it can span multiple rows. In flat view it appears once. |
| Resource | A crew member or person with a name, role, color, initials, assignments, task count, and workday count. |
| Template | A reusable schedule pattern created from a project. Template dates are stored as relative offsets so they can be applied to a new start date. |
| Share access | A view or edit invitation for people who need to see or update a project. |
What does Skedy save automatically?
Schedule edits save automatically. The app shows a small saving indicator while changes are syncing and lets you know if something could not be saved.
What happens for a brand-new account?
If the workspace has no projects yet, Skedy starts the onboarding flow. The app can also seed a sample production schedule so the grid is not empty while you learn the interface.
