BellCue — Never Miss a Bell BellCue turns your school's bell schedule into a live, always-accurate countdown.

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.

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.
