About

Wise Timetable Companion

Wise Timetable Companion shows your own timetable on your phone — and tells you the moment it changes. Your school or university already publishes its timetable with Wise Timetable. Enter the short school code once, pick the groups or the lecturer you want to follow, and the app keeps it from then on. There is no account, no registration and no password. WHY A NOTIFICATION MATTERS A calendar subscription or a web page can only be asked. Neither can tell you anything. A room changes overnight, the feed updates silently, and you walk to the old room in the morning. Wise Timetable Companion pushes. When your school posts a notice for your group, your course or your lecturer, your phone shows it within seconds — on the lock screen, with the app closed. Only for what you follow, never a broadcast to the whole faculty. WHAT YOU GET • Your day and your week, laid out on a real time grid • Every lesson with its room, its lecturer and its type • Tap any lesson for the full detail: date, time, duration, room, lecturers and which groups are in it • Browse any other group, subject, room or lecturer without changing what you follow — useful before you decide, and useful when you need to find a colleague or a free room • See subject, room and programme names in your school's second language, where your school publishes one • Notices from your school, kept in the app so you can read them again • Follow several groups at once, from different programmes and years • Lecturers can follow their own schedule instead of a group BUILT FOR HOW A SCHOOL ACTUALLY WORKS Thirteen interface languages. Light and dark appearance, following your device. Works on iPhone and iPad. Your timetable comes from your own institution's Wise Timetable server, so what you see is what the timetabling office published — not a copy that went stale. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING The app asks for nothing about you. No sign-up, no email address, no name. Your school code and your selection stay on your device. There is no advertising and nothing about you is profiled. Wise Timetable Companion is made by Wise Technologies Ltd., which has built academic timetabling software since 2003. It is used by universities and colleges worldwide, including the University of Oxford. Does your school not use Wise Timetable yet? Type "demo" as the school code to look around, and tell them about us: wise-tt.com
