**FET** is a [free and open-source](/source/Free_and_open-source) [time tabling app](/source/School_timetable) for automatically scheduling the timetable of a school, high-school or university. FET is written in [C++](/source/C%2B%2B) using the [Qt](/source/Qt_(software)) [cross-platform](/source/Cross-platform) [application framework](/source/Application_framework). Initially, FET stood for "Free Evolutionary Timetabling"; as it is no longer evolutionary, the E in the middle can stand for anything the user prefers.[2]

FET can operate in different modes appropriate to a variety of special circumstances. In addition to the standard "Official" timetabling mode, there is a "Mornings-Afternoons" mode suitable for use with Moroccan or Algerian school systems, a "Block planning" mode that supports planning for block timetables (commonly used in North American and [International Baccalaureate](/source/International_Baccalaureate) schools), and a "Terms" mode suitable for use with the Finnish school system.
