How LessonChime Works

Your Teaching Day, Made Simpler

LessonChime works quietly in the background while you teach. Once your lesson schedule is available in Apple Calendar, it helps you see what is complete, what is happening now, and what is coming next.

Prepare for Your Next Lesson

A live countdown shows how much time remains before your next lesson, giving you time to open your teaching platform and prepare.

Start and Finish on Time

Clear START NOW and Finish Up alerts help you begin promptly, manage back-to-back lessons, and move calmly to your next student.

Choose the Schedule Method That Works for You

LessonChime for macOS gives you flexible ways to set up your teaching day.

Use Apple Calendar
Allow LessonChime to read your scheduled lessons from Apple Calendar and provide reminders throughout the day.

Add Lessons Manually
Enter lesson times and student details directly into LessonChime. This is ideal if you prefer a simple independent schedule or do not want to connect a calendar.

Connect Your Calendar

Allow LessonChime to access Apple Calendar so it can read your lesson times and keep your teaching day organised.

Back-to-Back Lessons

Back-to-Back Lessons Shouldn’t Take Over Your Day

When one lesson runs over by only a few minutes, it can affect everything that follows. You may begin wondering whether you started the last lesson on time, worrying about your next student, or constantly checking the clock instead of focusing on the lesson in front of you.

LessonChime helps take that pressure out of your head. It keeps you aware of your schedule with calm reminders, clear alerts, and live countdowns, without demanding your attention all day.

You can focus on the student you are teaching, secure in the knowledge that LessonChime will let you know when it is time to prepare, start, and finish.
