Description: Plan a project's working week in a free calendar for Windows: add events, tag them to the project, then see the week, the month and a Gantt-style timeline.

Site visits, valuations and deadlines all belong to a project. Metre2 Calendar, free on Windows and in your browser, keeps each event tagged to its project and shows the week as a time grid, the month with week numbers, or a Gantt-style timeline.

Step by step

Add the first event

Click + New Event (or press N). Give it a title, a category, the day and the start and end times.

Tag it to the project

Type the project in Project - Site A here - and save. The project appears as a filter chip in the sidebar.

Add the rest of the week

The valuation meeting goes on Tuesday, tagged to the same project. Drag any event to move it; drag its bottom edge to change how long it runs.

See the month

Month (or press 4) shows ISO week numbers, milestones and UK bank holidays.

See it as a timeline

Timeline (press 3) lays the week out Gantt-style - hours left to right, one row per day - so clashes stand out.

Tips

Click an empty slot in Week view to start an event at that time; drag down to set the end too.
Save events you add often as templates, then add them again in one click.
Ctrl+Z undoes the last change.
