frees up

Releases for use

Frees up means to make available by removing constraints or obligations.

You free up time by canceling meetings, free up space by deleting files, free up money by cutting expenses: Finishing that project frees up my weekend.

The phrase emphasizes release from prior commitment or occupation, distinguishing it from simply having something available.
