Bell Manager
School Bell Scheduling & Management
Bell Manager is an iPad app for running school bell schedules through an existing PA or audio system. It brings daily scheduling, sound controls, and operational checks together on a dedicated iPad.
Build the school day
Create reusable Bell Schedules with named periods and independent one-minute Warning, Start, and End bells. Assign the normal Bell Schedule or No Bells to each day in Weekly Schedule.
Handle dates that differ
Use Calendar Schedule to override the normal day, choose No Bells, and add Additional Schedules for events outside the primary schedule. Configure or reset multiple selected dates together; Bell Manager validates conflicts before applying changes.
Choose the sound
Use bundled Bell and Warning sounds or import custom WAV, MP3, M4A, or AAC audio. Set separate Bell and Warning volumes. Test and Play send audio through the connected production output.
Import and check
Import Bell Schedule periods from CSV, review row errors, and use Health Check to inspect scheduler, sound, volume, and wired audio readiness. Event Log records operational activity for troubleshooting.
Run with confidence
Dashboard shows the Running Schedule and Next Event. Ring Bell Now plays the default Bell on demand. For a dedicated iPad, Bell Manager supports screen sleep prevention, optional dimming, and recovery checks when the app returns to the foreground.
