ProcrastiMate Help

A homework planner built around your school's bell schedule.

My reminders don't buzz when my phone is locked

iPhone: go to Settings, then Notifications, then ProcrastiMate. Turn on Allow Notifications, and check Lock Screen and Sounds. If a Focus mode (like Do Not Disturb or Sleep) is on, reminders may be held until it ends.

Android: press and hold the ProcrastiMate icon, tap App info, then Battery, and choose Unrestricted. If you see "Alarms & reminders," turn it on. Some phones put apps to sleep to save battery, which can delay reminders.

To check, open the Reminders tab, tap Test buzz, lock your phone and wait 30 seconds.

How do I set up a different school?

On the first screen, choose Build my own schedule and enter your periods, times, school days and lunch. Your teacher can also share a code or QR code from the Schedule tab so everyone gets the same bell times.

How do I add homework by talking?

Tap the green microphone button and say something like "Biology test Thursday" or "Algebra worksheet page 42 due Monday." Check the card that appears, then tap Save.

How do I share my homework list with a parent?

On the Today or Week tab, tap Send what's due to a parent and pick who to send it to. A parent can text back one assignment per line, and you can add them with Paste from a message.

I erased everything by mistake

Right after Start over, the setup screen shows Bring back what I erased. Tap it to restore your schedule, classes and homework.
