## What is Timely by TomTechLab?

Timely shows your school day at a glance: the lesson you're in now, what's next, the room and the teacher, and exactly how long is left.

YOUR DAY, AT A GLANCE
• A big Now and Next card with a live countdown and progress bar
• A day timeline showing how far through the day you are and when it finishes
• "Then…" tells you what comes straight after this lesson
• Coming up: the rest of today and tomorrow, with countdowns

YOUR WHOLE WEEK
• A clear weekly timetable with start and end times, rooms and teachers
• Swipe between weeks, or jump back to today
• Breaks and lunch are shown quietly, so lessons stand out

SNAP YOUR TIMETABLE
• Take a photo of your printed timetable and Timely reads the lessons, teachers and rooms
• Add Week 2 for a two-week timetable, then check and fix anything before saving
• Pick your school's bell times, with different timings for different year groups and a separate Wednesday if yours is different
• Or type your lessons in by hand

OR IMPORT IT
• Import the .ics file your school system exports, or choose a calendar on your iPhone (read-only: Timely never changes your events)
• Handles repeating lessons, fortnightly timetables, cancelled and moved lessons, and time zones
• Import an updated file at any time: your corrections, notes and reminder choices are kept
• Not ready yet? Try a sample timetable first

REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR DAY
• A notification before each lesson, from when it starts up to 30 minutes before
• Set a default, then change or turn off reminders for any single lesson
• Breaks, lunch and form time never get reminders

MAKE IT YOURS
• Light, dark or match your iPhone
• Ten accent colours and three card styles
• Pick a colour for every subject: it's used everywhere, including widgets and the Lock Screen
• Add your own notes to a lesson (homework, things to bring) and see them on the Now card
• Correct a teacher's name if your school's export gets it wrong

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AND WRIST
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, counting down the current lesson
• An Apple Watch app with complications and a one-minute heads-up before each lesson

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Your timetable stays on your devices and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud storage
• Photos of your timetable are read on your iPhone and never uploaded
• Timely doesn't collect any data
