01
Start with one date and a time
The first appointment, and what time it happens. Weekly, fortnightly, every three or four weeks, daily, or weekdays only, which skips Saturdays and Sundays rather than counting them and then removing them.
Free appointment schedule generator
Give it a first date and how often it repeats, and it writes out the whole series. Then click any date you cannot do and it drops out without moving the rest. No account, no email address.
This generator needs JavaScript to run. The rest of the page does not. How it works, what it will not do and the questions people ask all read perfectly well with script off.
Nothing leaves this browser. The series is saved on this device only: there is no account and nothing is uploaded.
How it works
Set the first one, choose the repeat, drop the dates you cannot do
02
Take out the ones that do not work
Click the cross beside a date and it is struck out, but the series keeps its rhythm: the week after is still the week after, not pulled forward. Click again to put it back. That is the part a spreadsheet makes painful.
03
Copy the list or take the file
Copy the dates puts them on your clipboard, one per line, written out in full and ready to paste into an email. Download CSV gives you date, day and time in three columns for a spreadsheet or an import.
Honestly
It writes the dates down. It cannot put them in anyone’s diary.
What is above turns one date and a rhythm into a list, and steps by calendar day rather than by adding hours, so the week the clocks change, ten o’clock is still ten o’clock. The series is kept in this browser, so clearing your browsing data clears it, and it will not be on another device.
It also cannot do the four things a real course of appointments needs. Nobody is told these dates but you. None of them lands in a calendar, yours or theirs. If one moves, the list does not follow. And it has no idea whether you are free on any of them: it is counting weeks, not checking a diary.

Repeating appointments: common questions
Is the appointment schedule generator really free?
Yes, and there is nothing to sign up for. No account, no email address, no trial that runs out and no limit on how many series you make. It is free because it is useful on its own, and because some of the people who use it will want the dates to book themselves.
Where is my series saved?
In this browser, on this device, and nowhere else, including which dates you skipped. Nothing is uploaded to Picktime and there is no account holding it. It does not survive clearing your browsing data. Copy the dates or Download CSV if you want a copy that lasts.
Can I get the dates out?
Two ways. Copy the dates puts them on your clipboard written out in full, one per line. Download CSV gives you date, day and time in three columns, which opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and imports into most calendars.
Will these appointments appear in a calendar?
Not from here. This writes a list; it does not know your calendar exists and nobody but you sees it. If you want a course of appointments that books itself, tells the client and lands in a real calendar, that is recurring booking, and it is what Picktime does.
What happens when the clocks change?
Nothing you have to think about. The series steps by calendar day rather than by adding a fixed number of hours, so an appointment at ten in the morning stays at ten in the morning through a daylight saving change instead of drifting to nine or eleven.
The dates written. Now let them book themselves.
Set a course of appointments once and let it repeat, confirm and remind on its own. Free, no card, set up in minutes.
