Timetable Tamer is a lesson-bell timer made for teachers. Tell it your timetable once and it counts down to every bell — warning you a few minutes before, then tapping your wrist right on time. No more glancing at the clock mid-lesson or overrunning into break.
WHY TEACHERS LIKE IT • A big, glanceable countdown to the next bell on your iPhone, Apple Watch, and the lock screen. • A discreet wrist tap before each bell, so you can wrap up without watching the clock. • Set it up once; it just runs, every school day.
YOUR TIMETABLE, YOUR WAY • Build day types ("Normal Day", "Late Start"…) with the exact bell times for each period. • Assign a day type to each weekday — with full support for weekly OR fortnightly (Week A / Week B) timetables. • Name the class you teach each period (e.g. "10B Maths") and add the room — they show on every screen. • Free periods are shown muted, so your teaching lessons stand out at a glance. • Mark school holidays — buzzing pauses automatically on days off.
ON YOUR WRIST • A native Apple Watch app with a live next-bell countdown. • A watch-face complication so the countdown is always in view. • Wrist-tap warnings delivered as time-sensitive notifications.
ALWAYS IN VIEW • A Live Activity puts the countdown on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Swipe between days on the home screen to check tomorrow's (or next week's) timetable. • Per-period progress bars show how far through the day you are.
DIALLED IN • Calibrate to your school's real bell down to the second, if it runs a little early or late. • Choose warnings (e.g. 5 and 2 minutes), whether to buzz on the start bell, end bell, or both, and which device taps you. • Back up and restore your whole schedule as a file via iCloud Drive.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your timetable stays on your devices (and your own iCloud, if you make a backup).
Made by a teacher, for teachers. Set your bells once and get on with the lesson.
