Method
- Blocks are sorted by start time; a block starting before the previous one ends is flagged, not silently merged.
- Free time = the day window minus all planned minutes (overlapping minutes are counted twice, which is why the overlap warning matters).
How this tool works
- Times are 24-hour HH:MM. Invalid or reversed times are flagged, not silently corrected.
- Blocks are sorted by start time; a block starting before the previous one ends is marked as an overlap.
- Free time is your day window minus all planned minutes; overlapping minutes are deliberately counted twice so the warning is visible.

Questions & answers
Does it sync with my calendar?
No. There is no calendar connection. Print the plan or export CSV and enter it into your calendar yourself.
What happens with overlapping blocks?
They are flagged in the Status column and counted in the Overlaps stat. The tool does not quietly move or merge them.
Why does free time look wrong when I have an overlap?
Because overlapping minutes are counted in two blocks. Fix the overlap first; the free-time figure is then meaningful.
