Every night at 8 PM, a push notification lands on your lock screen listing tomorrow's events. Enough time to pack cleats, wash uniforms, and set the right alarms.
Best for the family member who does the "what does everyone need tomorrow?" math the night before — and would rather have it handed to them.
The flow
STEP 1 · TURN PUSH ON
Settings · Notifications
Bedtime reminder
A push notification at 8 PM listing tomorrow's events, so you can pack cleats and set alarms before you turn in.
Bedtime push
Off
Tap
Toggle the reminder on
Under Settings → Notifications, flip Bedtime push on. First tap triggers the iOS permission prompt — you have to say yes there too.
STEP 2 · iOS PERMISSION
SportsCal dimmed behind the prompt…
"SportsCal" Would Like to Send You Notifications
Notifications may include alerts, sounds, and icon badges. You can configure these in Settings.
Tap
Tap Allow
Standard iOS permission ask — one time only per install. Tap Allow and SportsCal is greenlit to send you the bedtime push (and nothing else, unless you turn on more).
STEP 3 · PICK THE TIME
Bedtime reminder
When does the family wind down?
Time
8:00 PM
Your local time
Fires every night at your local 8 PM, wherever you happen to be. Nothing arrives on days with no events tomorrow.
Tap
8 PM by default — change if you want
Early-bird family? Roll it back to 7 PM. Night owls? Push it to 9 PM. SportsCal's scheduler respects your local time, so travel doesn't break anything.

Prep before bed, not in the morning
Full visibility into tomorrow before your head hits the pillow. Pack the gear, set the alarms, line up a pickup for the practice you know you can't make.
A note on timezones
🌐
Local time, not UTC
SportsCal fires at 8 PM in your local time. Traveling east or west doesn't shift when it lands.
😴
Nothing tomorrow? Nothing arrives.
Empty schedule tomorrow means no push. Your evening stays quiet.
