Free schedule maker

Lay out a week of shifts, classes or appointments, see where two things collide, then print it or take the file away. No account, no email address, no watermark.

This schedule maker needs JavaScript to run. Everything below it does not, and how it works, what it will not do and the questions people ask all read perfectly well with script off.

Nothing on the schedule yet. Nothing leaves this browser. Your schedule is saved on this device only. There is no account and nothing is uploaded.

How it works

Click a day, name the block, print the week

01

Click anywhere on a day

The form underneath fills in the day and the time you clicked. Type what goes there (a shift, a class, a name), choose how long it runs, and add it. Blocks are drawn to length, so a three-hour class is three times the height of an hour one.

02

Fix what collides

Two blocks on the same day at the same time are both outlined, and the count under the grid says how many collisions are left. Click either one to move it, make it shorter, or take it off the week entirely.

03

Print it or take the file

Print gives you the grid on its own with nothing else from this page on the paper. Download CSV gives you every block as a row (day, start, end, length, label), which opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.

Honestly

This draws the week. It cannot fill it.

What is above is a layout tool. It puts a week on a page and it checks the week against itself. It does not know anything about the people in it, and nobody but you can see it: the schedule is held in this browser, so clearing your browsing data clears the schedule with it, and opening this page on your phone will not show you what you built on your laptop.

It also cannot do the four things people usually want next. Nobody can book one of these slots themselves. Nothing is sent to anyone when a time changes. It does not know your Google Calendar exists, so a block here will not stop a meeting landing on top of it. And when two people ask for the same hour, the schedule cannot decide between them. You can.

If you want the next four things

That is where a booking system starts, and Picktime has a free plan rather than a free trial, so trying it costs the same as this page did.

Questions

Questions about the free schedule maker

Is the schedule maker really free?

Yes, and there is nothing to sign up for. No account, no email address, no trial that runs out, no limit on how many blocks you can add and no watermark on the printout. It is free because it is useful on its own, and because some of the people who use it will eventually want the bookings to arrive by themselves.

Where is my schedule saved?

In this browser, on this device, and nowhere else. Nothing is uploaded to Picktime and there is no account holding it. That means it survives closing the tab and it does not survive clearing your browsing data, and it will not appear on another device. If you want a copy that lasts, use Download CSV or print it.

Can I print it, or open it in Excel?

Both. Print puts the grid on the page on its own, with no navigation, no footer and no form around it. Download CSV gives you one row per block (day, start, end, length and label), which opens directly in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.

Can other people book these slots?

Not from here. This is a layout tool, so the week only changes when you change it. If you want people to pick a free time themselves and have it land on your calendar, that is a booking page rather than a schedule, and it is what the free Picktime plan does.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Seven days will not fit across a phone screen at a readable size, so the grid scrolls sideways instead of shrinking, and everything else stays where it is. Printing from a phone works too, though a week is easier to read on paper if you send it from a laptop.

When you want the week to fill itself

Picktime is free scheduling software with a free plan, not a free trial. Put up a booking page and let people take the empty slots themselves.
