Timetable

Pick the days and the number of periods, tap a cell and type the subject, and it prints to fit one A4 page. You can also print it empty and fill it in by hand.

Tap a cell and type straight into it. Nothing is saved anywhere, so print it or save it as a PDF once it is done.

Fill in a weekly school or class timetable on screen and print it. This is not a blank grid to complete by hand — it is a finished table sent to paper.

Choose how many days

A school week runs Monday to Friday, a tutoring schedule may include Saturday, a personal plan may run all seven. Dropping unused days widens the remaining columns and leaves room for more text.

Sized to the paper, not the cell

Set the number of periods and days and the remaining space is divided into cells. Adding another period does not push the table onto a second sheet.

Fill in on screen, reprint when it changes

Written by hand, every timetable change means writing it again. Editing and reprinting is faster, and it is easy to run one copy for the fridge and another for the pencil case.

A start time beside each period

Under each period number there is room for a start time such as 09:00. It is worth keeping for tutoring schedules where each period starts at a different time, or for younger children still learning to read the clock. Turn it off and the period column narrows, giving the subject cells the space.

Row height comes from the period count

On portrait A4, four periods give rows over 63mm tall; ten give 25mm. More periods mean shorter rows and smaller text. Landscape makes rows wider and shorter — 17mm at ten periods. Long subject names favour portrait; short names and many days favour landscape.

Printing is the saving

What you type is kept nowhere. Save as PDF from the print dialog leaves you a file, and when the schedule changes mid-term, filling it in again and reprinting is cleaner than correcting paper by hand. An empty title prints as faint placeholder text, so put at least the class name in it.

A cell holds one line

Subject cells are single-line fields with no line breaks. Text is fixed at 4.2mm, so in portrait with Monday to Friday each cell is about 33mm wide — a short subject name, and anything longer is cut off on paper. On screen the text scrolls inside the cell, so it can seem to fit; check the print preview for the last letters. Abbreviate, or switch to landscape, where cells widen to 50mm.

The time field takes anything

The time field beside each period does not check its format. Write 9am instead of 09:00, or turn a whole period into lunch by writing Lunch in that row's time field and leaving the subjects empty. Period numbers run from 1 and cannot be changed, so for a school with a period zero, put real times in the field and read the rows by time.

Common questions

Is what I type saved?

No. Reload or close the tab and the table is empty again. A timetable typed on someone else's computer — at school, in an internet cafe — has no business staying there, so nothing is kept. When it is finished, print it or save it as a PDF.

The text overflows the cells.

Reduce the number of periods or days, or switch to landscape to widen the cells. Shortening subject names also helps.

Can cells be coloured?

No cell colours. These are mostly printed in black and white, where colour coding turns into indistinguishable grey.

I need the round one.

The circular daily plan set as holiday homework is a separate tool — type the times and the sectors are drawn at the right angles.

I need more than ten periods.

Periods run from four to ten. Beyond that, split the day into a morning and an afternoon table — it reads better too.

Does the placeholder text in empty cells print?

No. The faint hint in the time cells, such as 09:00, shows only on screen; on paper the cells are blank. Subject cells carry no hint at all.

Can I rename the days?

The day headings are fixed. The week starts on Monday, and the only choice is whether Saturday and Sunday are included.

Can I move between cells with the keyboard?

Use Tab. Within a period row it moves from the time field across the days from Monday; after the last day it drops to the next period's time field. A whole table can be filled without the mouse.
