ClassBell Alarm vs BellCue

Keep track of class transitions with ClassBell Alarm, your personal school bell schedule companion. CREATE CUSTOM SCHEDULES Build unlimited bell schedules with as many periods as you need. Whether you have a regular 8-period day, block scheduling, or special assembly days — ClassBell handles it all. REAL-TIME COUNTDOWN See exactly how much time remains in your current period with a beautiful countdown display. A visual progress bar shows you at a glance where you are in your day. BELL NOTIFICATIONS Choose Bell, Chime, or Subtle as iPhone notification sounds for ClassBell's time-sensitive notifications, and add up to three warnings to each period. On iPhone, sounds follow Silent mode, Focus, and notification settings. Apple normally alerts your iPhone or Apple Watch, not both: an unlocked iPhone receives the alert; when the phone is locked, an eligible worn, unlocked Watch normally receives it. A paired Apple Watch uses its own sound and Silent settings, so silence the Watch too when quiet is required. iOS and watchOS control haptics; check your device settings and run a test before class. AUTOMATIC DAY DETECTION Assign schedules to weekdays, one-time dates, or an alternating A/B calendar. ClassBell resolves the exact schedule for each school day while still letting you start any schedule manually. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Start today's schedule, begin again from Period 1, hold, resume, or end a schedule with Siri or the Shortcuts app. You can also open Confidence Center directly when you want a quick readiness check. CONFIDENCE CENTER See notification permission and sound status, Live Activity status, and recent scheduling actions in one clear place. ClassBell explains how Silent mode, Focus, and Apple Watch routing can affect delivery without implying that it uses your microphone or records your screen. BEAUTIFUL DESIGN Enjoy a clean, modern interface with full dark mode support. Customize your accent color to match your style. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ClassBell works offline and does not require an account. Optional manual backups are stored in your private iCloud container, never on ClassBell's servers. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add small, medium, and large Home Screen widgets for current, next, and upcoming periods. The native period-boundary timelines keep the display aligned with your schedule, and you can tap to open Today.

BellCue — Never Miss a Bell BellCue turns your school's bell schedule into a live, always-accurate countdown. See exactly how long is left in this period, what's coming next, and when the day ends — right on your iPhone, Apple Watch, and home or lock screen. Whether you're teaching the class or sitting in it, BellCue keeps you on the same clock as the bell. It works for any school with a fixed bell schedule — bring in yours by scanning a code, importing it from a school website or PDF, snapping a photo of a printed copy, or entering it by hand. FOLLOW YOUR SCHOOL'S SCHEDULE • Scan one QR code and BellCue keeps that schedule current — when the school moves a bell time, adds a minimum day, or announces a break, your phone follows • Every update arrives with a plain-language summary of what changed, and an Undo if you'd rather keep what you had • A published schedule can bring the school calendar with it: year start and end, days off, breaks, and special days • Check for updates whenever you like, or just open the app — it checks for you • Following is free, and it only ever changes what it published — stop any time and everything you have stays FREE • Live countdown to the next bell, passing period, nutrition, or lunch • Local bell alerts so you're never caught off guard • Browse your full daily schedule at a glance • Build multiple schedules and assign them to weekdays • School calendar: days off, special days, and a countdown to the next break • Import any schedule automatically — pull it from a school website or PDF, paste text, scan a printed copy with your camera, or choose a photo, and BellCue reads the periods and times for you • Receive a schedule someone sends you — scan a QR code, open a shared .bellcue file, or tap an import link • Shared schedules can suggest which weekdays they run on, so setting up a whole week is one tap (you decide whether to accept) • Share your schedule with anyone — generate a QR code they can scan, or export a .bellcue file • iCloud sync keeps your schedules current across your devices BELLCUE PRO Unlock everything with BellCue Pro — a one-time purchase, not a subscription: • Remove ads • Apple Watch app + complication — your countdown on your wrist • Home-screen and lock-screen widgets • Share several schedules at once — hand a colleague a whole school's bell schedules as one file, or as a single QR code that holds about ten FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL OFFICES Build your school's bell schedules once at eibrainiac.com/bellcue/create — free, in a browser, no account — and publish them. You get a link and a QR code to print, post, or put on the board. Students scan it once and stay current all year: change a bell time and their phones pick it up. You can also share a schedule straight from the app, as a QR code or a file. SMART SCHEDULING • Special schedules (rallies, finals, minimum days) you can apply to one date or many at once • Per-date overrides and a quick "today only" switch when plans change • Multi-schedule documents import as separate, correctly-named schedules • Name each schedule by school so everything stays organized PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your schedules live on your device and in your private iCloud. Importing a document fetches directly from the source and reads photos, scans, and text on-device — nothing is sent to us. Following a published schedule downloads only that schedule's file. There is no account and nothing to sign in to. BellCue Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase — you're charged once, nothing renews, and nothing expires. It's tied to your Apple Account, so it works on your other Apple devices; use Restore Purchases if you reinstall.
