Float alternative
A Float alternativewithout the hours, the utilization and the per-person bill.
Float is a resource planner built for teams that schedule hours, like agencies and consultancies. If you lead an engineering team and want to see who's out, who's on call and who's on which project, Forgot puts that on one calendar you set up by pasting your team in, for one payment.
One-time payment, no subscription. 20 of 20 left at $9, then $19.
Open a live example: Studio staffingYou needed to see who's on what. You got a resource planning project.
Resource planners ask for hours per day, projects, roles and allocations. Someone has to keep all of it current, and every scheduled person costs a monthly fee.
Most weeks you only need three answers: who's out, who's on call, and whether the release date is safe.
How it works
Plan in days, not hours.
Drag across someone's row, pick a type and name it, like “Payments migration.” Add your own types. There are no hours or budgets to fill in.

Does it show capacity or utilization?
No. It shows who's out, on call or on a project each day, and warns you when someone is away on a release day. It doesn't count hours.
