Schedule Generator

It turns a list of things that have to happen into a plan with times attached. Most of the category competes on how that plan looks, and looks do matter — but whether it survives the week is decided by whether the hours add up. AllyHub does the arithmetic first and lays it out second.

Yes. Planning one week at a time runs on the free plan. Longer horizons, planning from a full project document, and keeping the run so every week replans from the same constraints are covered by the paid plans.

A pasted list is enough. So is a brief, a syllabus, a project plan, or a set of notes — AllyHub reads the document and pulls out what has to happen, which saves you retyping a list that already exists somewhere.

No. The plan comes out as files rather than writing into Google Calendar or Outlook, so nothing gets created or moved in a calendar other people depend on. Most people paste the blocks in themselves, which doubles as one last look at whether the plan is sane.

You get told, in a separate list, with how long each unplaced item needed. That is the useful output as often as the schedule is — a week with nowhere to go for two tasks is a week that needs a decision, not a tidier grid.

Most of them are design tools that happen to emit a timetable, so you get a picture and the thinking is still yours to do. The difference that compounds is what stays on file: your hours, your fixed points, your habits about how work should be grouped. Next week's plan is a re-run rather than a rebuild.
