Two apps. First the tablet, then your phone.
The Clock app runs on your mother’s tablet. The Administrator app runs on your phone. Together they make the clock. Both are free.
Step 1: On your mother’s tablet
Calendar Clock app
Install the app on an old iPad or Android tablet, open it, and keep the tablet on the charger. You’ll immediately see a clock and a short explanation. Keep the app open: that’s how the alarms work.
No tablet? A second-hand 10-inch tablet is enough. Read below to find out which device fits.
Step 2: On your phone
Calendar Clock Administrator
Install the Administrator app on your own phone and scan the QR code on the clock. Your phone and the clock are now connected. From now on, you manage everything from your phone, wherever you are.
More administrators? Everyone in the family can manage the same clock, each from their own phone.
What you’ll see after installation
Five short steps, nothing to configure
Step 1: This is Calendar Clock.
Step 2: Always on.
Step 4: Connect
Which tablet is suitable?
Older is fine, as long as it stays on
A 10-inch tablet or larger
Older is fine: the app works on ten-year-old tablets, both iPad and Android. A second-hand tablet is enough.
Always on the charger
The clock stays on 24 hours a day. Place it on a stand, keep it charging, and set the screen to always on.
Pin the app
On iPad with Guided Access, on Android as the home screen app. This prevents anyone from accidentally closing the clock.
Updates every fifteen minutes
The clock fetches new messages every fifteen minutes. So a new message appears within a quarter of an hour.
