Overlap — Help & FAQ

Last Updated: March 2026

Getting started
How do I use the app?
Tap the country selection bar to choose 1–5 countries. Select a year from the dropdown. Browse holidays, overlaps, or long weekends using the coloured stat cards.
What are "Overlaps"?
Overlaps are dates when ALL your selected countries have a public holiday on the same day. Perfect for planning trips or meetings when everyone has the day off!
What is a "Long Weekend"?
A long weekend is when a public holiday falls near a weekend, giving you 3 or more consecutive days off. We detect Friday holidays (3 days), Monday holidays (3 days), and combinations that create 4+ day breaks.
What is a "Bridge Day"?
A bridge day is when a holiday falls on Thursday or Tuesday. By taking just one day off (Friday or Monday), you can create a 4-day weekend! Look for the yellow suggestions in the app.
Countries & Data
How many countries can I compare?
You can select between 1 and 5 countries at a time. With just 1 country, you'll see all holidays and long weekends. With 2–5 countries, you'll also see overlapping dates.
What are School Holidays?
The School tab shows school break schedules for 30+ European countries. You can select a country, filter by region or state, and view breaks grouped by month. This data is sourced from the OpenHolidays API.
How do I filter school holidays by region?
After selecting a country in the School tab, tap the region filter chips that appear below the country selector. You can view holidays for all regions or filter to a specific one (e.g., North Holland in the Netherlands).
Saving & Calendar
How do I save a long weekend?
Tap the bookmark icon on any long weekend card to save it. Your saved long weekends appear in the "Saved" tab for quick access. Tap the bookmark again to remove it.

Individual holidays: On the Holiday tab, tap "Add to Calendar" at the top of the list. You can choose to add holidays for a specific country or all countries at once. Saved long weekends: On the Saved tab, tap the calendar icon on any saved long weekend card.
