How many schedules can I combine at once?

As many as you need to add, since each one is generated and merged the same way regardless of how many others are present.

Are shared dates sorted to the top?

No, the whole combined timeline is sorted chronologically, with each date's contributing schedules listed together.

Multi-Cadence Calendar Planner

Combine several independent recurring schedules onto one shared timeline, each tagged with its own name, so you can see every generated date at a glance and spot exactly which dates more than one schedule lands on.

Only need to know whether two schedules collide, not the full combined timeline? See Recurrence Collision Finder.

Worked example

Two weekly schedules, both landing on the same Monday every week, produce a fully shared combined timeline, since every date either schedule generates is also generated by the other. Change one of the two schedules to a different weekday, and the combined timeline instead shows two separate sets of dates that never actually coincide, which is exactly the kind of side-by-side comparison a single-schedule view could never show on its own. This is most useful for a person or team juggling several independent recurring commitments who wants one place to see them all together.

Common mistakes

Expecting the combined view to merge overlapping schedules into one entry. Every schedule keeps its own tag, even on a shared date, so you can see which schedules actually contributed to it.
Adding only one schedule. The tool still works, but its real value is in seeing multiple schedules together.

Limitations

This displays a bounded number of occurrences per schedule, not an unlimited future timeline, so schedules with very different cadences may need a larger occurrence count to reach a comparable calendar span.
