Shaat Efes

Every child's school timetable in one place: who starts when, who finishes when, and what they have right now. Upload a photo of the timetable and the app reads it for you.

Shaat Efes - adding a child: name, grade and school

Half past seven in the morning, three children in three schools, and someone calls from the kitchen: "who finishes at 1:30 today?" The page with the timetable is in the schoolbag, and the schoolbag is already on its way to school. Shaat Efes is for that moment: everyone's timetables on your phone, and one short answer to the question asked at home every morning and every evening.

Who it is for

Parents with more than one child in school, and especially families with one in primary, one in middle school and one in high school, each with completely different hours.

How it works

Bell times belong to the building, not the child

Primary, middle and high school do not ring at the same time. Each school keeps its own hours, and the first parent to enter them contributes them to everyone after. The school list grows the same way: the Ministry of Education's open registry is frozen at 2015, and a school typed in by three families in the same town joins the list.

FAQ

How do I enter a timetable?

Photograph the page the school gave you, or pick the file they sent on WhatsApp: an image, a PDF or a Word document. The app reads it and builds the table for you to review and approve. Manual entry is always available.

Is my child's timetable shared with anyone?

No. A child's timetable is never shared automatically and cannot be found by searching. It moves only if you explicitly create a link and send it to someone. What is shared are the school's bell times, which contain no personal detail at all.

What happens to the file I upload?

It is sent for recognition and deleted immediately. It is never stored, because a timetable photo carries children's and teachers' names.

Is there an iPhone version?

Yes. Shaat Efes is on the App Store and on Google Play, the same app on both, including a home screen widget that shows who starts and who finishes when.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no email and no password. An invite link connects a second phone to the same data, and a permanent recovery code brings everything back on a new phone.

What happens on holidays and school breaks?

The Ministry of Education's holiday calendar is built in. On the eve of a holiday the today screen says there is no school instead of inventing hours, and a trip, an early finish or a day off is updated with one tap, for that day only.
