Timetable Tamer
Support
Timetable Tamer gives teachers a glanceable countdown and a discreet wrist tap before every lesson bell, on iPhone and Apple Watch. Set your timetable once and it runs every school day.
Getting started
- Days — build your day types (e.g. “Normal Day”, “Late Start”) with the bell times for each period.
- Week — assign a day type to each weekday (with weekly or fortnightly Week A / Week B support).
- Today — see the live countdown to the next bell; swipe between days to check ahead.
- Settings — choose warning times, which bells buzz, which device taps you, and calibrate to your school's real bell.
Common questions
- Not feeling the wrist tap? Make sure notifications are allowed for Timetable Tamer in iOS/watchOS Settings, and that your chosen device is set under Settings ▸ buzz on.
- Bell a little early or late? Use the calibration setting to shift every time by a few seconds to match your school's bell.
- Moving to a new phone? Use Save a backup to export your timetable, then restore it on the new device.
