## What is College Buddy?

College Buddy answers the one question every student actually asks: can I skip this class?

KNOW BEFORE YOU BUNK
The "Should I Bunk?" card does the math the moment you open the app. It tells you whether you can miss your next class and still stay above your attendance requirement — and if you've already slipped below it, exactly how many classes you need to attend to climb back.

ATTENDANCE IN ONE TAP
Add your subjects, set the minimum attendance each one demands, and mark Present or Absent as you go. Every subject shows a live percentage, how many classes you can still afford to miss, and how many you need to recover.

MARK IT WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
A Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island around class time, with a live countdown. Tap Present or Absent right there. Your Apple Watch nudges you shortly before each class ends so you can mark it from your wrist.

SCAN YOUR TIMETABLE (PRO)
Point your camera at your printed timetable, or import a PDF, and College Buddy reads it and builds your entire week in seconds. It all happens on your device — nothing is uploaded.

NEVER MISS A CLASS
Get a reminder at the start of every class, and an alert the moment a subject drops below the threshold you set.
