Settings & Preferences

Timezone
Planner stores all dates in UTC. Your timezone setting controls how dates are displayed. Choose Settings → Timezone and select from the IANA timezone list (e.g. Australia/Sydney, America/New_York).
Note: Changing your timezone does not shift any scheduled dates — it only affects the display offset for time-sensitive fields such as activity start/finish times.
Default view mode
Set which view opens when you navigate to a project:
- Activities grid — spreadsheet-style activity list
- Gantt chart — bar chart timeline
- Split view — grid and Gantt side by side
Date format
Choose how dates render in columns and tooltips:
| Format token | Example |
|---|---|
DD/MM/YYYY | 25/06/2025 |
MM/DD/YYYY | 06/25/2025 |
YYYY-MM-DD | 2025-06-25 |
DD MMM YYYY | 25 Jun 2025 |

Planner is available in English (default). Additional languages are released progressively — check Settings → Language for the current list available to your account.
