I want different rules for school days and weekends — how?
Use the default workday & rest-day mode: maintain just two templates and the system picks one based on whether today is a workday or a rest day. Switch to by weekday if every day differs (extracurriculars, half-day Wednesday, split weekends). Compare the two below.
| Mode | Best for | Maintenance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workday & rest-day (default) | Families with a stable school routine that only distinguishes school days and weekends | 2 templates | Maintain only a workday and a rest-day template; holidays and make-up workdays fold in automatically |
| By weekday | Families whose schedule differs per day (extracurriculars, half-day Wednesday, split weekends) | 7 days × 3 day types | One set per day from Mon to Sun, each further split into regular / holiday / make-up |
Does switching lose my existing settings?
No. The two configurations coexist independently; switching shows a confirmation dialog and switching back keeps the original slots. The row for today is selected by default so you can edit the current day right away.
How do I copy one configuration to the other quickly?
Use bulk generate to sync the two configurations — handy when one mode is already tuned and you want to spread it to the other. Generation is destructive with a confirmation prompt; see below.
Bulk generate: sync the two modes
- Generate from workday/rest-day: overwrite Mon–Fri with the workday template and Sat/Sun with the rest-day template.
- Generate from weekday: overwrite the workday template with Monday's rules and the rest-day template with Saturday's rules.
