Short walkthroughs for the things you'll actually do.
Every one is a handful of steps with a screenshot for each. Most take two minutes. We're publishing them as they're written — the greyed-out ones are on the list.
Getting started
From install to your first alarm
The whole setup flow end to end, from opening the app for the first time to alarms armed for your first day of school.
Set up an A/B rotation
Anchor an A/B block schedule to your term so the app knows what kind of day every day is.
Set up a 4-, 6-, or 8-day rotation
Longer cycles, labelled Day 1 through Day N, and how they advance across weekends.
Set up a traditional or day-of-week schedule
No rotation? Run the same alarms every weekday, or different alarms on different days.
Check your setup on the calendar
Read the colour-coded calendar to confirm your rotation is right before you trust it with a Monday.
Daily use
Handle a snow day in one tap
Silence every alarm for one day when school is cancelled, and get the next school day back automatically.
Build an alarm group
Name a group, point it at a day type, and fill it with the alarms that belong to that kind of day.
Time, label, sound, and snooze
Everything you can change on a single alarm, and what the defaults do.
Alarms only on certain weekdays
Set a weekly cadence inside a group for the duty that only lands on Tuesdays.
Your calendar
Add your breaks and holidays
Put your school's no-school days on the calendar once, and stop thinking about them.
Pause, reset, or continue your rotation
What a break actually does to your A/B cycle — shown on a real calendar, not just described.
Import breaks from your school calendar
Let your own AI read the district PDF, paste back what it finds, and check every break before anything saves.
Fix it when today is the wrong day type
The app says A-day, your school says B-day. Resync Cycle pins today and corrects the rest.
Run two schedules for fall and spring
Keep both terms set up and switch which one is active at the semester break.
Sharing
Import a schedule someone sent you
Open the file, review every group and alarm, and decide what's on before it saves.
Share your schedule with another teacher
Send your whole year — rotation, term, breaks, groups, and alarms — as a single file.
Reliability
Make sure your alarms actually fire
Run the app's own setup check, confirm the alarm is armed, then prove it with one that rings.
Alarms after a restart or a new phone
What survives a reboot on its own, and what a new phone needs from you.
