📋 Activity
Everything done in the bells: who, when, on which computer, and what changed (before → after). Kept for at least a year.
How to use
- Only ONE computer rings: the one connected to the amplifier is the 🔊 Bell computer. Every other computer is ✏️ Edit only — it can change everything, but never rings. (Settings → This computer.)
- On the bell computer: every morning open this page and click Start Bell System. Leave the window open (it can be behind other windows).
- On an edit-only computer, Ring now, Stop, timers and music buttons are sent to the bell computer. The bar on top shows 🟢 when the bell computer is online, 🔴 when it is OFF (then bells will not ring). Use 🎧 to listen to a sound on your own computer.
- Ring for: each bell (and Ring now) rings for a set time, e.g. 15 seconds. A short sound repeats until the time is up; a long sound fades out. Set a default in Settings → General.
- 🌿 Calm: rain, ocean waves, waterfall, stream, birds, soft thunder, wind, fireplace, crickets and white/pink/brown noise. Tap to play, tap again to stop; set a stop timer (5–60 min), volume, or mix two sounds. Add calm times to play them automatically (e.g. Rain 12:30–1:00 Mon–Thu). Bells make the calm sound quieter and it comes back after.
- Bells page: add a bell with a name (Lunch, Recess…), time, days and sound. Bells ring automatically.
- Ring now rings right away. Stop stops any sound. Timers runs a countdown that rings at zero.
- No school? Tick Skip today on the Dashboard, or add the dates under Settings → Holidays.
- Different day? Pick another schedule under Today's schedule (for example Half Day).
Good to know
- The computer must stay on and not go to sleep. The speakers/amplifier must be on.
- If you see the red “Sound is OFF” bar, click it — the browser needs one click to allow sound.
- Bells and settings are saved to your account. Uploaded sounds and songs stay on the computer they were uploaded on — upload them on the bell computer.
