What is Ganttic?

Ganttic's feed is mostly blog and case studies, with one real shipped update: mobile redesign and view tracking.

Most crawled entries are Ganttic's content-marketing blog and customer case studies, but the feed also carries genuine product updates — the Q1 roundup of the redesigned Planner mobile app, task coloring, a Single Project Gantt View, and an expanded History Log. So the picture is mixed: heavy editorial output around resource scheduling, with occasional real release notes mixed in. Where the product moves, it is sharpening mobile usability and change-tracking transparency.

What is Leantime?

Leantime hardens its new permission engine through a rapid-fire auth patch cycle.

Leantime just shipped 3.9.0, a ground-up permission engine that replaced ad-hoc role checks with centralized, fail-closed authorization across every domain, landing alongside a JSON-RPC API layer and mobile push tokens. The 3.9.1 through 3.9.4 point releases that followed are almost entirely auth stabilization: Bearer and personal-access-token authentication broke under the new Sanctum guard and took four patches to fully settle. The project is mid-transition from a legacy PHP codebase to a modern Laravel, Blade, and JSON-RPC stack.

Ganttic vs Leantime: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

Ganttic's feed is mostly blog and case studies, with one real shipped update: mobile redesign and view tracking.

◆ Current state

Most crawled entries are Ganttic's content-marketing blog and customer case studies, but the feed also carries genuine product updates — the Q1 roundup of the redesigned Planner mobile app, task coloring, a Single Project Gantt View, and an expanded History Log. So the picture is mixed: heavy editorial output around resource scheduling, with occasional real release notes mixed in. Where the product moves, it is sharpening mobile usability and change-tracking transparency.

◆ Where it's heading

The observable product thread is incremental polish: better mobile planning, more granular audit/history logging, and clearer views. The blog and case studies (ports, labs, construction) signal a push toward operations-heavy, equipment-and-people scheduling verticals. Expect continued usability and transparency refinements rather than category-redefining moves.

◆ Prediction

The next releases likely continue the mobile and history-log line and lean further into resource-heavy verticals. The blog's AI-resource-management posts hint at AI features, but no shipped AI capability is visible yet.

L6.3

Leantime hardens its new permission engine through a rapid-fire auth patch cycle.

◆ Current state

Leantime just shipped 3.9.0, a ground-up permission engine that replaced ad-hoc role checks with centralized, fail-closed authorization across every domain, landing alongside a JSON-RPC API layer and mobile push tokens. The 3.9.1 through 3.9.4 point releases that followed are almost entirely auth stabilization: Bearer and personal-access-token authentication broke under the new Sanctum guard and took four patches to fully settle. The project is mid-transition from a legacy PHP codebase to a modern Laravel, Blade, and JSON-RPC stack.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is a comprehensive backend re-architecture, with the permission engine, JSON-RPC API, completed Blade template unification, and experimental Postgres support all converging on a cleaner, API-first core. The recent burst of Bearer-auth fixes shows the team paying down the regressions the permission-engine rollout introduced rather than adding new surface. Mobile is the next frontier: the 3.8.0 TestFlight API groundwork and 3.9.0 push tokens point to a native app nearing release.

◆ Prediction

Expect the auth-fix cadence to slow as the Bearer regressions settle, with attention shifting toward the mobile app's public launch and broader JSON-RPC endpoint coverage.
