Turn a screenshot of your class schedule into a real timetable in seconds. MySched reads the schedule your school gave you, shows you every class before it saves anything, and then keeps track of what is next, what is due, and where your GWA stands — offline, and without an account if you prefer. TURN A SCREENSHOT INTO A TIMETABLE • Import a class schedule from Photos or share a schedule image to MySched. • Paste timetable text from a group chat or document. • Add classes manually when you want complete control. • Review and edit every class before it is saved. • If a row is unclear, MySched tells you instead of silently guessing. • Reading starts on your iPhone. Improved reading then sends the schedule image or pasted text securely to our reading service to catch what the on-device read missed. FIND YOUR SCHOOL • Search a directory of 2,700+ Philippine colleges and campuses. • Use available official schedules when your school and term are supported. • Keep your timetable available offline. Directory and ready-made schedule availability varies by school and term. SEE YOUR NEXT CLASS • See your current class, next class, and the rest of today. • Scan week, month, and list views. • Get class reminders before you need to leave or join. • Put your timetable on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy with widgets. • Follow a live class from the Dynamic Island with Live Activities. • Find schedule actions with Spotlight and Shortcuts. • Use landscape layouts on onboarding, dashboard, calendars, tasks, and settings. EDIT A REAL COLLEGE TIMETABLE • Add a subject that meets on multiple days in one step. • Copy one day’s classes to another day. • Merge split subjects without rebuilding the whole schedule. • Change one occurrence to on-site, online, hybrid, or cancelled without changing the recurring class. • Add a secure HTTPS meeting link for an online or hybrid occurrence. • Give each course a color and icon, including the Soft palette. PLAN THE REST OF YOUR SEMESTER • Keep assignments, tasks, and exams in one hub, and open any of them with a single tap. • Repeat a task on a schedule, then change one occurrence or the whole series. • Track grades and attendance, and follow your GWA/GPA on a 4.00 scale when your school uses it. • Add personal events beside your classes. • Check in for attendance from a Live Activity. • Export classes to Apple Calendar and Reminders. • Subscribe your schedule in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar and keep it updated automatically. SHARE WITH CLASSMATES • Share a timetable with a short code, link, or QR code. • Let classmates preview the full schedule and join in seconds. • Join a classmate’s schedule with or without an account, then review what will be saved. • Keep course colors and icons consistent across your devices. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Core scheduling works without an account. When sync is available, supported data can follow you across devices. Screenshot reading starts on your iPhone. Improved reading also sends the schedule image or pasted text securely to our reading service, and it is used only to read your schedule. You can delete your account inside MySched. MySched supports Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, reduced motion, and layouts that do not rely on color alone. Requires iOS 17.2 or later.
