About TimetableGen
TimetableGen is a free online timetable maker built for schools, colleges, teachers, students, offices, gyms, and households. Launched in June 2026, our mission is to make schedule planning simple, visual, and accessible - so you spend less time fixing spreadsheets and more time running classes, teams, and routines that actually work.
Our Story - Why TimetableGen Exists
TimetableGen was born from a simple frustration: building a weekly timetable should not require expensive software, a steep learning curve, or hours of trial and error in a spreadsheet. Schools were printing handwritten grids. Teachers were rebuilding the same Excel file every term. Students were writing study plans on paper and losing them by Wednesday. Families had no single place to see the week's shared commitments at a glance.
We built TimetableGen to solve all of these problems in one clean, browser-based tool that anyone can use in minutes - with no installation, no account required, and no cost. From a school coordinator in India planning the semester's class schedule to a student in the UK building their first exam revision timetable, TimetableGen was designed to work for real people with real scheduling challenges.
Since launching in June 2026, TimetableGen has helped thousands of users across schools, coaching institutes, universities, fitness centers, offices, and households create structured weekly schedules that they can actually follow. Every feature we have built - drag-and-drop editing, auto-save, color-coding, conflict detection, PDF and PNG export - exists because real users needed it for real situations, not because it looked impressive in a product demo.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make structured weekly planning accessible to everyone - from a primary school teacher managing 30 students across six subjects to a working parent trying to coordinate two children's school schedules with their own work commitments. Scheduling should not be a specialist skill that requires expensive tools. It should be something anyone can do well with the right support.
We believe that a clear, well-built timetable improves lives in concrete ways: students perform better when their study time is structured, teachers deliver better lessons when their workload is planned rather than reactive, and families function more calmly when everyone can see the week's shared routine in one place. TimetableGen exists to make that clarity available to as many people as possible, completely free.
What We Focus On
Every decision we make about TimetableGen comes back to one question: does this make scheduling easier and more useful for the person using it? That focus shapes everything from how the builder interface works to what content we publish in our scheduling guides.
- Clear weekly grids that anyone can read at a glance - students, teachers, parents, and managers all see the same information without needing training or explanation.
- Practical exports - PDF for printing and notice boards, PNG for digital sharing via messaging apps and email - so the timetable reaches the people who need it in the format that works for them.
- Real-world guides and templates for actual scheduling scenarios - school timetables, study planners, shift rosters, gym schedules, family routines - not generic demos that look nothing like what people actually need to build.
- Conflict detection so teachers, rooms, and resources are never double-booked - the most common and most disruptive error in institutional scheduling, caught automatically before it causes problems.
- Auto-save so no work is ever lost between sessions - a timetable in progress is always ready to pick up where you left off.
- Mobile-responsive design so the builder works on any device - whether you are at a desk planning the term schedule or checking the week's timetable on your phone between classes.
Who Uses TimetableGen
TimetableGen is used across a wide range of contexts - all connected by the same need for a clear, reliable weekly structure that reduces confusion and improves outcomes.
Schools & Colleges
Academic coordinators and department heads use TimetableGen to build term schedules, manage teacher workloads, allocate rooms, and distribute class timetables to staff, students, and parents.
Teachers & Coaches
Individual teachers and coaching institute faculty use TimetableGen to plan their personal weekly schedule, track class assignments, and share their timetable with administrators and students.
Students
School and college students use TimetableGen to build structured study planners, track assignment deadlines, and balance class time with self-study and revision - especially during exam season.
Offices & HR Teams
Operations managers and HR professionals use TimetableGen to build employee shift rosters, office work schedules, and team coordination grids - with PDF export for staff distribution.
Gyms & Fitness Centers
Gym owners, personal trainers, and fitness coaches use TimetableGen to build class schedules, manage instructor assignments, and publish weekly programs for members.
Families & Households
Parents and household planners use TimetableGen to coordinate family routines, school runs, meal times, homework windows, chore assignments, and shared weekly commitments in one visible place.
Why TimetableGen Is Free
We made TimetableGen free because the people who need it most - students, teachers in under-resourced schools, small coaching institutes, individual gym trainers - are often the ones who can least afford per-seat scheduling software licenses. Charging for access to a basic but genuinely useful tool creates a barrier that we did not want to build.
Core timetable creation, editing, color-coding, conflict detection, auto-save, PDF export, PNG export, and sharing are all free with no account required. We believe that useful scheduling tools should be available to a student planning their exam revision in the same way they are available to an enterprise HR department - without friction, without a credit card, and without a trial period that expires.

Our Scheduling Guides
Alongside the timetable builder, TimetableGen publishes detailed, practical scheduling guides for every major use case - school timetables, college schedules, study planners, teacher timetables, employee shift rosters, gym schedules, office work plans, and family routines. Each guide is written with real operational detail so it is useful whether you are reading it to learn or using it as a reference while building your own schedule.
Our guides are written by scheduling practitioners with direct experience in academic and operational planning - not generated from generic templates. Every recommendation is grounded in how real institutions and individuals build and manage weekly schedules, including the common problems that occur and how to prevent them.
