MySched

Notifications & Reminders

Reminders are local alarms tied to your classes. They fire on time even without internet — MySched schedules them through your phone's native alarm system, not a server.

Setting a reminder

  1. Open any class from your schedule
  2. Tap the reminder option
  3. Pick a lead time — 5, 15, or 30 minutes before
  4. Save

You can also set reminders for every class on a given day in one tap.

One-off vs. recurring

  • One-off — fires once for a single class occurrence
  • Recurring — fires every week at the same time for the same class

Notification styles

What you see when a reminder fires depends on your device:

  • Standard — a banner on your lock screen and notification shade. Works on both iPhone and Android.
  • Heads-up — a floating alert at the top of your screen while you're using another app. Harder to miss.
  • Full-screen alarm (Android only) — takes over the screen with dismiss and snooze buttons. Useful for early morning classes you can't afford to miss.

The Reminders screen

All active reminders live in one place. From here you can see what's scheduled, change the timing, delete reminders you no longer need, or add new ones.

Changing the notification sound

In Settings, pick which ringtone plays for MySched reminders. Worth doing if you want to tell class reminders apart from texts and other apps.

Permissions

MySched needs notification permission from your phone. On iPhone, you'll be prompted the first time you set a reminder. On Android, it's requested during setup.

If you denied it by accident, go to your phone's system Settings, find MySched, and enable notifications from there.

Missed reminders on Android

Some Android manufacturers aggressively kill background apps to save battery. If your reminders stop firing:

  • Why it happens — Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Oppo apply battery restrictions that prevent scheduled alarms from firing.
  • What to do — MySched detects this and shows a prompt pointing you to the right battery optimization setting for your device. Follow the prompt to exempt MySched.

What happens when you rescan

When you scan a new registration card, reminders update automatically. Removed classes lose their reminders. Changed times get rescheduled. You don't need to redo anything manually.
