Settings & Preferences
Planner remembers your personal settings per account so each team member can work in a way that suits them without affecting colleagues.
Open preferences
Select your avatar → Account settings → Preferences, or navigate to Profile → Preferences from the top navigation bar.
Display preferences
| Setting | Options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Theme | Light · Dark · System | System |
| Compact mode | On · Off | Off |
| Sidebar pinned | On · Off | On |
| Row density | Comfortable · Compact · Dense | Comfortable |
Quick theme toggle
You don't need to open Preferences to change the theme — a sun/moon icon in the top bar cycles through System → Light → Dark → System on each click, and applies instantly across the whole app (grid, Gantt, AI Copilot panel, dialogs).
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 |
Language
Planner is available in English (default). Additional languages are released progressively — check Settings → Language for the current list available to your account.
