Permissions

MySched asks only when a feature needs system access. You can use the core schedule without granting every permission.

Notifications deliver class, task, and summary alerts. If denied, the schedule still works without alerts.
Location While Using sorts nearby schools after you ask. If denied, search by school name.
Calendar, Add Only creates recurring class events. If denied, keep using the schedule in MySched.
Reminders creates items in Apple's Reminders app. If denied, keep the reminder inside MySched.
Selected photos loads only screenshots or a profile image you choose. If unavailable, paste text, share an image to MySched, or enter classes manually.

Notifications

MySched requests alerts, sounds, and badges when you turn on a notification feature. It does not keep asking after iOS has denied the request.

To change the choice later, open Settings ▸ Notifications ▸ MySched. See Reminders for the 64-notification system limit and MySched's class-reminder budget.

Location is optional and used only after you ask for nearby schools. MySched requests While Using the App, takes a one-time location reading, and uses it to sort the school directory. It does not need background or precise-location tracking for this feature.

If location is unavailable, type the school name in search. You can change access later in Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Location Services ▸ MySched.

Apple Calendar

MySched requests write-only Calendar access. This lets it add class events without reading your existing calendars. You can export one class from its details or use Add all to Apple Calendar in More ▸ Settings.

Change access in Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Calendars ▸ MySched.

Apple Reminders

Creating an item in Apple's Reminders app requires Reminders access. This is separate from MySched's own local class and task notifications.

Change access in Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Reminders ▸ MySched.

Photos and shared images

MySched uses Apple's system photo picker, so it can load the screenshots or profile image you explicitly select without broad photo-library access. You can also share up to five images from Photos or Files to the MySched share extension.

Normal screenshot reading stays on your device. Images leave the device only if you separately choose the optional AI schedule reader.

Live Activities and background refresh

Live Activities do not use a normal in-app permission prompt, but you can disable them in iOS settings for MySched. Background App Refresh is controlled by iOS and may help refresh an official timetable or a running Live Activity; its timing is never guaranteed.
