Timefold Solver Community Edition is an open source project, and you are more than welcome to contribute as well! For more, see Contributing.

Timefold also offers an Enterprise Edition of the solver, which includes additional features such as explainability, the ability to scale out to the biggest datasets, and enterprise-grade support. Find out more.

How to use Timefold Solver

To see Timefold Solver in action, check out the quickstarts.

With Maven or Gradle, add the ai.timefold.solver : timefold-solver-core : 2.5.0 dependency in your pom.xml to get started.

You can also import the Timefold Solver Bom (ai.timefold.solver : timefold-solver-bom : 2.5.0) to avoid duplicating version numbers when adding other Timefold Solver dependencies later on.

Additional notes

The changelog and the list of contributors above are automatically generated. It excludes contributions to certain areas of the repository, such as CI and build automation. This is done for the sake of brevity and to make the user-facing changes stand out more.
