Newv8.6.0August 26, 2026

Rota — recurring checks on a rolling turn

The other spreadsheet every school keeps, done properly. Give Rota a list — IT rooms, fire extinguishers, fire doors, a minibus — say how often and how many at a time, and it works out the whole year, records what was found when somebody looked, and exports a formatted workbook. Eight presets ship with the columns each check actually needs. Half-turn weights pair small rooms automatically, and the pairings printed under the title are worked out from the rota rather than typed, so the two cannot disagree. It follows your academic year, so Week A and Half Term mean the same thing here as on the timetable — or carries its own dates for a school with no timetable at all. The same file moves both ways with the free Monospace Timetable tool.

  • Rota — a list of things, a turn order, and a formatted spreadsheet at the end of it
  • Eight presets: IT rooms, fire extinguishers, fire doors, minibus walk-round, PAT testing, legionella flush, fridge temperatures, and a blank one
  • Half-turn weights, so two small rooms share a slot and the printed pairings are worked out rather than typed
  • Follows the school's academic year — the same week letters and holiday names the timetable prints
  • Or its own start and end dates, so a school with no timetable in Monospace can still run one
  • Keeps assigning through the holidays by default, or pauses and picks up afterwards
  • Two views: what is due now, and the spreadsheet grid — the choice is remembered per device
  • A check recorded against a turn that later moves is kept, and held back rather than re-attributed to a row nobody checked
  • Export with data for the file, or a blank template for the clipboard
  • The same .json the free Monospace Timetable tool reads and writes, both directions
  • Names, notes, column headings and every recorded value encrypted at rest
Newv8.5.0August 26, 2026

Monospace Timetable — a free tool for schools

The timetable engine, pulled out of Monospace and given away. A free, open-source program that turns a school's standing timetable into a properly formatted Excel workbook — one sheet per week for the whole year, colour-coded tabs, a colour per class code and your own facts printed under each room. No account, no server, nothing uploaded; it runs offline as a single HTML file or a portable Windows exe that updates itself. The year it saves is the same file Monospace reads and writes, so a school can move one either way without typing it twice.

  • Free and open source (AGPL-3.0) — no account, no server, no licence key, nothing expires
  • timetable.html — one file, double-click it, any browser on any machine, works offline
  • timetable.exe — portable Windows app, no installer, runs from a USB stick, updates itself
  • Five setup screens in dependency order: the year, closures, the day, the rooms, the grid
  • A ten-step walkthrough that drives the app rather than describing it, re-openable from the rail
  • One workbook per year: a sheet per week, a tab per cycle-week template and a half-term overview
  • Colour-coded sheet tabs and one colour per class code, kept consistent across every sheet
  • Custom fact rows printed under each room — No of PCs, Teacher, Telephone, or your own
  • Four export switches, all off by default, each stating what it costs as well as what it does
  • Your year saves as a small .json you keep — put it on a shared drive and open it next August
  • The same .json Monospace reads and writes, so a year moves between the two either way
Newv8.4.0August 25, 2026

Timetable & Booking — the whole school on one grid

One academic year for the school — dates, a one, two or three week cycle and an anchor — with closures measured in weeks, hand pins for when reality wins, and a preview before anything renumbers. One shared shape of school day, room lists that decide what prints, a standing timetable per cycle week, and a published board where a week's changes never touch it. Plus a booking rota whose conflicts resolve per resource across the whole school rather than per department, and an Excel export of the entire year.

  • One academic year for the whole school — dates, a one, two or three week cycle, and an anchor
  • Closures as holidays, INSET, bank holidays or one-offs, measured in weeks rather than days
  • Pin a week by hand when reality wins, and have it survive every rebuild
  • Every change that could move a week is previewed — which weeks renumber, which bookings move or clash
  • The school day as ordered, labelled rows; breaks are simply rows that are not bookable
  • A period can be left untimed for schools that label periods rather than clocking them
  • The day shape is shared across every year still to be taught, and never rewrites a finished one
  • Reordering the day is free; removing a period retires it and is refused under a live series
  • Room lists decide which rooms print, in which order, with admin-defined fact rows beneath them
  • A fact row can be typed in or bound to the linked place's code or capacity in Inventory
  • Standing timetable stored one grid per cycle week per room, with copy-week-onto-week
  • Publishing is separate from switching Booking on, so a half-built grid is never on screen
  • Published board with per-week changes that never touch the standing timetable, and undo
  • A cell says who changed it and what it displaced
  • Bookable resources from an inventory asset, an inventory place, or typed by name
  • Per-resource rules: who may book, approval, notice, how far ahead, longest booking, slot length
  • A pending request holds the slot; rejecting is what releases it
  • Rescheduling an approved booking on an approval-required resource returns it to pending
  • Conflicts resolve per resource across the whole school, never per department
  • Retire a resource rather than delete it — existing bookings stand and stay readable
  • Excel export: week sheets, template tabs, half-terms and an info sheet in the school's colour
  • Four export switches, all off by default, each stating what it costs
  • Carry a year in or out as a .timetable.json, the same file the free Monospace Timetable tool reads
Newv8.3.0August 24, 2026

Inventory — every physical thing the school owns

One asset register for the whole organisation: the estate as a tree of sites, buildings, floors and rooms; where a thing belongs kept separate from who is holding it; spreadsheet import with a dry run and an errors.csv that is your own file back; custody with overdue chasing that needs no setup; stocktakes by scanner; vehicle trips with odometer and fuel; and the money side — depreciation policy per category, month-end posting that freezes a period, disposals, and a movements note that refuses to produce rather than understate.

  • One asset register for the whole organisation — not a project item
  • Estate as a tree: site, building, floor, room, area, container, six levels deep
  • 212 built-in school asset types across sixteen groups, each with an icon and a default useful life
  • Where a thing belongs and who is holding it are kept as two separate facts
  • Import .csv or .xlsx with a four-screen wizard, a dry run and remembered column mappings
  • Failed rows come back as errors.csv — your rows, your headers, plus an _error column
  • Custody: loans with due dates, permanent 1:1 assignments, extensions and hand-overs
  • Overdue loans raise a notification overnight and repeat weekly, with nothing to set up
  • Custody history survives the asset — a scrapped laptop still names itself on its old rows
  • Stocktakes by scanner or keyboard, with relocated, misplaced, condition and discovery outcomes
  • Vehicle sign-out with odometer, fuel in eighths and a walk-round note at each end
  • A defect at book-in becomes a dated maintenance job and moves the vehicle to in-repair
  • Warranty as facts, plus ready-made views for out of warranty and ending within 90 days
  • Depreciation policy per category — straight line, reducing balance or none — with a live schedule
  • Month-end posting that freezes a period, and re-runs that reverse rather than erase
  • Fixed-asset movements note that refuses to produce if a month in the range was never posted
  • Disposals with proceeds, authoriser and a computed gain or loss, and reinstatement with a reason
  • Money stripped on the server per row — shown, withheld or absent, never a fake zero
  • Received purchase orders become register entries with cost, supplier and date already right
  • Any asset or room can be made bookable without being typed into the rota twice
Newv8.2.0August 10, 2026

Curves — every attribute is a lane you can drag

A new project item for the numbers you tune rather than record: damage per tier, cost per supplier, hours per phase. Every attribute is drawn as a lane across a shared entity axis; a probe crosses all of them at one entity and reads out its values; a lane whose cells share a formula shape gets one rule in plain words instead of a copy per row; and dragging a point retunes it with every downstream lane redrawing live. The plain A1 grid is one toggle away.

  • New project item: Curves, for the numbers you tune rather than record — damage per tier, cost per supplier, hours per phase
  • Every attribute is a horizontal lane drawn as one continuous curve across a shared entity axis, with deliberately uneven lane heights and no vertical rules
  • Entity names are lifted out of the data into a sticky axis ribbon, so they belong to every lane at once instead of to a first column
  • A probe line crosses every lane at one entity and each lane head reads out that entity's value — click a lane to place it, ← and → to walk it
  • A lane whose cells share one formula shape gets a rule, printed in plain words (Damage × Speed) and edited once for every entity at a time; the panel says what it becomes at the probe and how many cells change before it writes
  • Deliberate edits survive a rule rewrite: a hand-typed value is an override and its handle goes solid, and a cell carrying a different formula is an exception, which the lane head counts ("3 differ")
  • Drag a point to retune it — downstream lanes redraw live, the pre-drag curves stay as dashed ghosts, Shift snaps to round numbers, Escape reverts the whole gesture, and release is one undo step
  • Outliers are ringed and quoted as a multiple of the entity below, so a cost spike and the value collapse it causes line up vertically — cause above effect
  • Errors break the curve with a hollow marker and a count in the lane head instead of red text in a cell; a lane that refers to itself is named rather than spun on
  • One Curves page per project, organised inside the page: any lane can carry a divider above it (a labelled group heading) or a spacer (the same break with no label), and both travel with the lane when you reorder
  • Every drag has a keyboard equivalent — probe, lane focus, ±10% nudge, lane height, rule editing and reordering are all reachable without a pointer
  • The plain cell grid is one toggle away: same data, same cells, =SUM(C2:C21) works as you'd expect, and switching over lands the grid's selection on the entity the probe was reading
  • Formulas are parsed by an engine we wrote — no eval, no Function constructor. Lane rules desugar to ordinary per-cell A1 formulas, so both views run over one data model
  • Encrypted at rest; 200 rows x 40 attributes per page (199 entities once a header row names them), 8,000 filled cells and 300 KB
  • Known gap: inserting a row or column in the grid view moves cells but does not rewrite formula references (appending at the end is unaffected; the menu items say so)
  • Available on Pro and Max, and Team org plans and above
Newv8.1.0August 9, 2026

Page — write HTML, get a page

A new project item for pages that aren't tasks, notes or boards: printer directories, links hubs, runbooks. Raw HTML with a live preview, rendered in a sandboxed frame.

  • Write or paste HTML with a live preview as you type
  • Scripts run, so search boxes and sort controls work
  • Rendered in an isolated frame with no access to your session, cookies or workspace
  • Content encrypted at rest, 250 KB per page, 10 pages per project
  • Available on Pro and Max, and Team org plans and above
Improvedv8.0.0August 8, 2026

One dashboard, one design

The second dashboard shell, the Look variants and the glass-intensity slider are gone. Monospace now has a single design, and we think it's better than either of the things it replaced.

  • One dashboard shell replaces Classic and Modern
  • New liquid-glass look with animated backgrounds built entirely on the compositor
  • Kept: light, dark and OLED themes, your accent colour, and a curated set of backgrounds
  • Removed: the second shell, Look variants, and the glass-intensity slider
  • Machines that can't composite the effect get the same composition without the motion
Newv1.18.0April 23, 2026

Move projects between orgs

Transfer any project you admin to another org (or to your personal space) without losing data, integrations, or chat history. Handles ownership, permissions, slug collisions, and plan mismatches in a single confirmation flow — with a ridiculous sidebar animation on arrival.

  • New "Move to another org" action in Project Settings → Danger Zone
  • 4-step wizard: pick target → review what moves/resets → confirm slug & owner → type-to-confirm
  • Admin+ required on both the source and target org (or target personal space)
  • Ownership auto-transfers to the target orgs owner; role overrides and access grants reset to the targets defaults
  • Plan mismatch handling: features the target plan doesnt support stay enabled on the project and reappear if the plan is later upgraded
  • Slug collisions auto-suggest an alternate name you can tweak
  • Personal ↔ Org moves supported both ways
  • URL preserves your current section/item (notes, boards, settings, etc.) under the new org slug
  • Animated transfer: the project card arcs between org pills in the modal, then glides to its new sidebar position with a spring, scale bounce, ring pulse, and sparkle burst on arrival
  • Audit entry logged on the project so admins of the target org can see who moved it and when
Newv1.19.0April 23, 2026

Team Inboxes — email on your own domain

  • Message body encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM; subjects and participants plaintext for list rendering
  • Inbox wins over tickets on address collisions (with a warning when you create one)
  • Sidebar unread-count pill matching the tickets / chat pattern
Newv7.10.0April 22, 2026

Customisable Dashboards, Homepages, and Org Branding

Personal, org, and project homepages now all run on the same widget-grid system. 22 widgets, 8 preset layouts plus a Custom mode you can drag-and-drop, org-level theming and banners, and a pile of smaller fixes.

  • New Custom mode on personal, org, and project homepages — drag, resize, add, and remove widgets across a 12-column grid
  • 22 widget types: Projects, Recent Activity, Upcoming Events, Stats, Tasks, Notes, Team, Text/Markdown, Quick Links, Boards, Chat, Tickets, Subscriptions, Purchase Orders, Maintenance, Detectors, Whiteboard, GitHub, Links, Welcome tutorial, and Add Tools
  • 8 preset layouts (Gallery, Grid, List, Compact, Table, Kanban, Magazine, Feed) now auto-arrange the widgets on any page that has them
  • Org homepages live at the root (my.monospace.page/{orgSlug}) — member-only, with a 200-px banner hero + org avatar + name
  • Org Theme & Branding — owners/admins set an accent, background gradient, look, mode, and banner image; an "enforce for all members" toggle overrides personal themes while viewing the org
  • Banner upload modal matches the project-icon crop flow — 4:1 aspect, drag to reposition, scroll or slider to zoom, 1600×400 WebP output
  • Modern sidebar org rows split navigation from expand — click the chevron to expand/collapse, click the avatar/name to jump to the org homepage (works in collapsed rail too)
  • Projects in the Custom view's Projects widget are now clickable in all 8 layouts (Gallery / Grid / List / Compact / Table / Kanban / Magazine / Feed)
  • Project homepage tutorial box is now an optional widget — dismiss it or drop it back into the grid whenever
  • Fixed: Custom toggle moved from a standalone button into the View picker dropdown as a Sparkles-icon entry, so All / Grouped / View / Sort stay visually tidy
  • Fixed: "Project not found" screen is now centred in the viewport with a clear subtitle and a proper Back to Dashboard button
  • Fixed: StatusBanner dismissal switched from sessionStorage to localStorage with a 30-minute expiry so ongoing incidents reappear rather than staying hidden for the whole tab session
