## What is ScheduleLock?

ScheduleLock is the alarm app built for teachers on rotating block schedules. Set your alarms once, and the app fires the right ones for whatever today is — A-Day, B-Day, Day 4 of a 6-day rotation, or any pattern your school uses. When the day changes, one tap handles it.

WHO IT'S FOR
Teachers, coaches, and staff at schools that run rotating block schedules. If your day is "A-Day, B-Day, A-Day…" or "Day 1 through Day 6," ScheduleLock is built for you.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tell ScheduleLock your term start, term end, and rotation pattern once during setup.
• Build alarm groups for each day type (e.g. "A-Day Alarms," "Day 3 Alarms," "Every School Day").
• Each morning the app fires only the alarms that belong to today.
• Weekends and dates outside your term are skipped automatically.

ONE-TAP DAY OVERRIDE
Snow day, two-hour delay, assembly schedule, dentist appointment? Tap Day Override:
• Full Day Off — silences every alarm for today.
• Custom — silence specific alarms only, keep the rest.
Tomorrow returns to your normal rotation automatically. No re-arming, no remembering.

RELIABLE BY DESIGN
• Local alarms scheduled with the device's exact-alarm system — no push servers, no cloud, no delay.
• Works fully offline. No internet, no account, no sign-in, ever.
• Survives device reboots — pending alarms are restored after restart.
• Custom labels per alarm, snooze duration of your choice, choice of built-in alarm sounds.

PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY
• No ads.
• No tracking, no analytics, no telemetry.
• No network access — your schedule stays on your device.
• No account required.

Free to install. Built for teachers, not advertisers.

### 5/5 — Perfect solution for school alarms

*2026-08-27*

I wish this had the ability to choose custom songs or had more sounds to work with from iOS clock sounds. But this app is perfect for school alarms that are at different times on A vs B days

### 4/5 — Good, but what about early release schedules?

*2026-08-26*

I love that I can set multiple alarms through the day (my school doesn’t use bells), but I wish I could add an Early Release schedule only on certain days of the school year.

• Set up your whole year fast — Schedule Import fills in your breaks and term dates from your school calendar. Review everything on your calendar, name your schedule, and choose how each break affects your rotation — all before anything is saved.

• Clearer month view — breaks are marked right on your calendar, so you can see your time off at a glance.

As always: free for teachers, no ads, no account, no tracking, works fully offline.
