Widgets & controls
Your schedule on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and in Control Center.
MySched widgets show saved schedule information without opening the app. They do not fetch a new schedule from the internet by themselves.
Widgets
Long-press your Home Screen or Lock Screen, tap + or Edit, and search for MySched. The available sizes and names depend on your device.

Free and Pro widgets on iPhone and iPad
Next class is free everywhere. Today's agenda, This week, This month, and Term countdown are free on the Home Screen; their Lock Screen versions need MySched Pro. Widgets marked Pro show a locked face until you upgrade, and the widget gallery shows which ones are Pro before you add them. On Android every widget is free.
Some widgets have options
On iPhone and iPad, you can edit placed Next class, Today's agenda, Tasks due, Attendance, and Next free time widgets to change what they show.
Android widgets also have per-widget options, chosen when you place or reconfigure the widget.
To choose how much detail widgets and lock screens show, open You ▸ Settings ▸ Widgets & privacy.
Some widgets include I'm here. The check-in is saved for MySched to import when the app opens. See Attendance.
Tinted and Clear Home Screens
On iPhone and iPad, widgets stay readable when the Home Screen uses a Tinted or Clear appearance. Course colors may be removed by iOS in these modes, but the course code, text, and icons remain.
Controls
On iPhone and iPad, MySched has controls for:
- opening your schedule;
- checking in to your current class;
- opening screenshot import;
- opening the new-task editor; and
- starting a study session.
Add one from Control Center ▸ + ▸ Add a Control, then choose MySched. Controls are part of MySched Pro.
Android uses launcher shortcuts and Quick Settings tiles for similar quick actions instead of iPhone and iPad Controls.
