FEATURES - Up to 8 photos per event with a swipeable, matted gallery - Editorial review queue with AI-assisted polish in your school's voice - Per-school branding — colors, typography, and tone driven entirely from your brand kit - Notion sync for downstream distribution to social, web, and print - Real-time school announcements with native push notifications - Searchable archive across titles, tags, classes, and teachers - Tag system for organizing by subject, event type, or initiative - Save photos to your camera roll for use elsewhere A note about your data Bellwork stores photos and event details in Firebase, secured by Google Cloud infrastructure.
