Public Holidays for 10 Countries, and Your Choice of Week Start

Ganty Team

Ganty's timeline can now show public holidays for countries other than Japan, and you can choose whether weeks start on Sunday or Monday. Both are available on every plan.

Supported countries

Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom (England and Wales), Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Mexico and Brazil.

  • Holidays for the country you pick are shaded in the day view. Hover a date to see the holiday's name
  • The business-day count in the task details leaves out that country's holidays
  • When a holiday falls on a weekend, the observed or substitute day follows each country's rule

Week start

Week columns can start on Monday (as before) or Sunday, so teams used to Sunday-first calendars see their weeks the way they expect.

How to set it

  1. Click your avatar at the top right and open Profile
  2. Under Display, pick a country for Public holidays (or None)
  3. Pick Monday or Sunday for Week starts on

Settings are saved on this device and apply to open charts right away. If you haven't chosen yet, Ganty picks a country from your device's time zone when it can.

What it doesn't do yet

  • National holidays only. State and regional holidays (US states, German states and so on) and one-off holidays aren't included
  • Holidays are shown and left out of business-day counts; task dates don't move around them automatically
  • Excel and PDF exports don't shade holidays yet

Wrapping up

This makes Ganty easier to use for teams outside Japan and for projects with members in several countries. If you'd like another country added, tell us through feedback.
