01 · Your day

Where you're going next, at a glance.

Your timetable comes straight from Compass and stays current on its own. When a room changes or a class is cancelled, you know before you walk to the wrong building.

02 · Friends

Who's in your class, and when you're both free.

Add a friend with their short tag, such as K7M2-Q9XA. They accept, and School Hub lines up your timetables. You decide what each friend can see.

04 · Appearance

Set it up exactly how you like.

Start from one of twelve themes, then change colours, fonts, corners, spacing and the sidebar while you watch. Arrange and resize the dashboard widgets. Send your setup to a friend in one tap.
