week grid / family 2 · free workflow
Fit Meals and Activities Into the Evenings You Actually Have — Free
Set how long your evenings actually are and list what each one has to hold; the grid totals them so the overspill is visible before the week starts rather than on Wednesday night.
What this replaces
Family planners list activities and ignore the fixed cost of dinner, homework, and bath time. This adds up what each evening has to hold against the minutes you actually have, so the overloaded night is a negative number on Monday rather than a meltdown on Wednesday.
Tool note. This runs entirely in your browser — no account, no upload, no paid API key. Google NotebookLM is named as the free source-grounded reading path for the material you paste; its published free-tier terms were checked on 2026-09-13 and can change.
The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
Your available evening minutes on the first line, then one evening per line with its total.
Let the grid add them
Each evening is counted and the final row is the week against what you have.
Cut from the fullest evening
One night carrying 220 minutes is the problem, not the week as a whole.
Rerun when the clubs change
Term timetables shift; the grid only knows what you typed.

Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally. Because this topic can involve personal detail, delete names and identifiers you do not need before you paste.
What breaks, and what to do
Available minutes omitted
Nothing to compare against; state it on the first line.
Travel time not included
Add it to the activity or the totals will flatter you.
Younger children's needs
Only the minutes you list are counted.
Boundary — what this does not do
This page organizes what you enter into rows. It does not give legal advice, does not calculate what a court would order, and does not replace a mediator or attorney.
Confirm any split, format, or figure with your current agreement, the court's form set, or a qualified adviser before you send or file it.

The free board above is the whole loop. The paid tier keeps the arranged output so you do not rebuild it.
