Turn School Dates Into a Supply Board You Can Work Back From — Free
Paste the term dates and the board counts back through the shopping steps, marking the ones already behind so the scramble happens on paper rather than the night before.
What this replaces
School letters list what to buy and not when to buy it. This counts back from the term date you paste, so ordering the named uniform four weeks out is a dated step rather than something discovered on the last Sunday of the holidays.
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
The term start date plus what each child needs, one item per line.
Let the board count back
Each step is dated with the slack it still has.
Treat a past step as urgent
Named uniform has a production time; that is the step that bites.
Confirm the dates with the school
Term dates change; this counts from the date you gave it.
Try it on the supply board / term 1
The board below runs in your browser. It opens with a worked sample so the result is visible before you paste anything; switch scenarios, edit the text, or reset to the sample.

first-load · sample values are illustrative, not verified facts
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
No term date in the paste
The countdown cannot run; add the date.
Two children with different dates
Run one child at a time.
Items with no lead time
The steps are fixed; adjust the offsets in a copy if your school differs.
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.
