First ThingWho it's for › Parents
School runs, sorted the night before.
Swim club on Wednesdays, an INSET day you forgot, a trip that leaves at 7:30. First Thing works out the morning from your week and the family calendar, and gets you up in time for whatever's first.
Free. Pro free for 14 days, no card.
Sound familiar?
The swim-club morning is always the late one.
One day a week starts an hour early, and the alarm doesn't know.
Half-term, and the alarm still goes at 6:30.
Term dates live in a letter, not in your alarm.
Bedtime is the first thing to go.
After the kids are down, the evening disappears and the early start doesn't care.
Keep your calendar up to date. First Thing does the rest.
Put clubs, trips and days off in the family calendar as they come home in book bags. First Thing reads it and sets the right time for every school morning.
Free asks you with one tap. With Pro, it moves the alarm by itself and tells you why.

Questions
Can First Thing read a shared family calendar?
Yes. Any calendar on your phone, including shared ones, and you choose which ones count.
Will it wake me in the school holidays?
Not for the school run, if your days off are in your calendar or set in the app. It still wakes you for anything else that's on.
Can I set different times for different school days?
Yes. Every day of the week can have its own usual time.
Does it cost anything?
The alarm, your week and calendar suggestions are free. Pro moves the alarm by itself when plans change.
