Small program written in Python that lets the user create a weekly schedule and keeps track of the time allocated to each task in the schedule.
The GUI was created using TKinter while the rest of the application only needed Built-in python libraries such as datetime, calendar and os.
The app allows the user to create a weekly schedule with as many tasks as the user wants within the 24h period of each day. The user selects the time that they want to start with the task and the time they want to stop. Multiple schedules can be created and saved and during the day the user can switch between schedules. The app will look at the schedule selected by the user and if a task is schedule for the current day/hour it will display the task name as well the the amount of time (hours:minutes) that the user has left to work on that task before switching to the next one. The user is also able to delete schedules, if they are not needed. The app is especially useful for people that have an open schedule and have to organize their daily activities themselves (freelance professionals, individuals taking online courses, students in University with a switched classroom model, etc.)
