Get started: create a genuinely editable weekly schedule

When the online schedule builder opens, the middle workspace displays the current date range and an interactive weekly timetable grid. The top-left title identifies the active plan. Change the name by selecting the title; use the arrows next to the week range to move backward or forward one week. Today returns to the current period. Your schedule data is not deleted when you navigate to another week. If you have a repeating weekly event, it can appear in later weeks on the same weekday.

There are two ways to start an event. Select an empty time cell in the timetable to preload its date and approximate starting time, or choose Add and then Add event. The event form allows an exact date, beginning time, ending time, event color, description and repeat mode. Check the end time carefully: it must be later than the start time. For overnight shifts, events that cross midnight need a dedicated model; this editor intentionally rejects an invalid same-day end time instead of silently misrepresenting the duration.

Choose a concise event title such as “Supplier call,” “Revision block,” or “Weekly review.” Add background context in the description rather than squeezing a long sentence into the grid card. After creation, the block appears at its corresponding time on the appropriate day. A visible overlap warning means the event shares time with another item: you can keep both if intentional or use the conflict center to fix the clash.

Manage tasks, priorities and private planning notes

Choose Add → Task, enter an actionable title, select a due date and priority, and add a short note if needed. The Tasks panel lists outstanding and completed work together; select the checkbox when an item has been finished. Unlike a timed event, a task does not automatically reserve a calendar interval. This prevents your day from appearing fully occupied by work that has not yet been scheduled. For work that requires a protected focus slot, create a separate timed event.

Open Notes for weekly goals, preparation checklists and context that should not appear inside each calendar cell. Notes are included in the complete JSON backup but should not be assumed to appear in a public export. Avoid adding sensitive secrets, passwords or confidential third-party information to browser-stored planning notes.

Audit and repair overlaps rather than hiding double bookings

Choose Audit from the sidebar or Audit conflicts above the grid. The conflict center checks displayed appointments, including the displayed occurrences of repeating weekly events, and lists pairs whose time intervals intersect on the same day. The warning explains which events overlap and for how many minutes. Choose Edit second event for a manual correction, or Move after first for a quick suggestion that preserves the event duration and inserts your specified minimum break when there is enough room before midnight.

The audit also reports short gaps, workload limit exceedances and blocks scheduled outside preferred hours. It is a diagnostic assistant, not an automatic optimizer that moves every commitment without consent. Some overlaps are legitimate, such as availability placeholders or parallel activities. Review warnings individually and keep the original plan when an overlap is intentional.

Save, restore, print and export responsibly

The editor attempts to autosave guest data in this browser. Browser data is device-specific and can disappear after clearing storage or changing profiles; it is not a secure cross-device backup. Download a JSON backup regularly when a plan matters. A JSON backup is intended to retain editor data such as events, tasks and notes. CSV is useful for event rows in spreadsheet programs. ICS is designed for importing calendar events, but importing apps may differ in their handling of recurrence and time zones. Print/PDF uses the browser print destination, which you should preview before printing or saving.

Select Save to My Schedules after signing in. The first save creates an account-owned cloud schedule; later changes to that linked schedule can synchronize automatically. The separate My Schedules page reads your existing Supabase schedules and timed events and displays their previews. It remains the account workspace—not a second copy of the builder. A guest schedule is not uploaded unless you explicitly choose to save it while signed in. The current cloud index is designed around schedule and event records; it does not display a complete task list or private notes. Use JSON backup to preserve tasks, notes, recurrence settings, colors and other editor-only data exactly.
