In eight steps
Each timetable has its own name, days and hours. Emma goes to school Monday to Friday and is done at 2:45 pm, so this one shows 8 am to 3 pm only.
Class times are set to the minute, so a 45-minute class and a 5-minute break go in exactly as the school has them. Reading, Math, Science and Art each get their own color. Lunch from 11:45 to 12:20 is left empty.
Choose a background photo in the timetable settings and crop it to fit. Classes stay on top as colored blocks, so the timetable is still easy to read.
Write what to pack as a To-Do and link it to the class that needs it. Link “Pack colored pencils” to Thursday’s Art class and it appears when you tap that class on the timetable. There is no need to write which class it is for.
The due time is the evening before Art, with a “30 minutes before” reminder. When the time comes an alarm screen opens on the phone, in time to pack the pencils.
The weekly widget shows Emma’s week, and the Today overview widget shows today’s classes together with what to pack. The To-Do widget lists only the tasks. On a parent’s phone they show a child’s day at a glance.
Put the pencils in the bag, mark the task complete in the widget, and it is done. Open the app later and the To-Do list shows it as complete too.
The lock screen timetable is view-only. Nothing can be edited or deleted while the phone is locked. In the morning, today’s classes are right there when the phone wakes.
