The Basis

Document-Based App

"Roadmap for macOS" is a document-based app, so users have full control over how files are stored and shared.

Welcome Window

Launch the Roadmap app and you will see the welcome window. From there, you can open recently accessed roadmap files, browse for a .rdmap file on your Mac, or create a new roadmap by clicking the "+" tile.

Roadmap Window

A roadmap document opens in a roadmap window with the layout below.

Roadmap Chart

Roadmap tasks are organized in sections and rows.

  • A task cannot overlap another task. That is why Roadmap is usually used for product roadmaps and high-level project plans. For detailed project scheduling, we provide QuickPlan.
  • Section Lane display style is customizable (Right-click on a section lane to customize the section lane display style).
  • The app provides gestures and context menus for maintaining sections and rows.

Press ⌘⌥^ (Command + Alt + Ctrl) to show shortcut tips in the active roadmap window.

Review the frequently used shortcuts below before getting started. You can find more keyboard shortcuts in the app menu.
