Five or seventeen. Your choice.

Switch between 12-hour and 24-hour speech. The same moment, spoken the way you prefer.

A note for that moment.

Add a personal message to a time slot. Your note appears in the notification alongside your chime.

More ways to feel at home.

Designed with blind and low-vision use in mind, with more than one way to read, hear and navigate.

VoiceOver

Hear time slots, controls and their current state read aloud, so you can navigate without relying on sight.

Larger text

Supports iOS Dynamic Type, so app text follows your preferred text size.

A dark interface

A dark appearance offers another way to view your schedule when you prefer a darker screen.

Meaning beyond color

Text labels, symbols and switch positions communicate state together. Color is one cue, not the only cue.

High-contrast colors

Turn on the optional high-contrast appearance for a black background, white text and yellow controls with clear outlines.
