For students

Classes, shifts and a term that changes all of it

A student week is assembled from parts that arrive separately: a class timetable set by the department, a shift rota set by a manager, and deadlines set by neither. Each is knowable; together they are the reason nobody can tell when you are free.

The schedules this actually has to cope with

Freeish is built around these, not around a nine-to-five with the occasional exception.

A timetable that changes each term

Everything learnt about your week expires at the end of term and is replaced by something different.

Shifts around classes

Evenings and weekends, fitted around a timetable your manager cannot see.

Deadline weeks

Weeks that look free and are not, which is invisible to anyone reading only your timetable.

Placements and labs

Blocks that suspend the normal week entirely — most brutally on nursing and teaching courses.

What it sounds like at home

“My parents ask when I am free and I would have to check three things to answer.”
“My manager schedules me over a lecture because he cannot see my timetable.”
“Housemates plan things during my deadline week.”
“Every term the whole pattern changes.”
“Going home for a weekend needs a fortnight of coordination.”

Where Freeish fits

Classes, shifts and deadlines in one place instead of three.

Import the timetable from a screenshot at the start of term rather than typing it.

Parents follow once and see the whole term without asking.

Deadline weeks can be blocked out so they read as busy, because they are.

One week, start to finish

Leah, second year

Leah screenshots the new timetable in week one and imports it.
Her bar shifts go in as the rota is posted.
Her mum can see a free weekend three weeks out and books the train.
Deadline week is blocked out, so her housemates plan around it.
Next term the timetable changes and the same import covers it.

Questions students ask

Can I import my timetable?

Screenshot it and import the picture. Most university timetables are grids, which is exactly what it reads best.

Can my parents see it without nagging me?

That is rather the idea. They follow you once and stop asking, and you still choose what is public.

Can I hide things from my parents?

Yes. Private events are invisible to everyone, and nobody can tell there is anything there.
