How to share a timetable or a reminder by link

One parent puts the timetable together; the whole class chat needs it. A link solves exactly that: you drop it anywhere, and everyone who opens it adds a copy of their own — no swapping contacts, even if your accounts are not in the same family.

How to make the link

The link is the same wherever you get it — use whichever is handy:

• In the app. On a timetable's screen, the 🔗 “Share as a link” icon. For a single reminder, its menu (long-press or ⋮) → “Share as a link”. Android's usual share sheet opens next: the class chat, a messenger, email — anything.
• On the website. The 🔗 button next to a timetable or a reminder: copy the link or send it straight away.
• In words, in the Telegram bot, the app or on the website: “give me a link to the timetable” or “send a link to the meeting reminder”. With more than one timetable, the bot asks which.

Ask for the link again and you get the same one: there is one per timetable or reminder, it works any number of times, and it does not expire.

What the person who opens it sees

A page with the name and what is inside: the lessons day by day, or the reminder's text and when it fires. It does not say who shared it.

They add it however suits them: open it in the Brain Buffer app, through the Telegram bot, or on the website. Nothing is added by itself — they see what they are about to add first, and only then an “Add” button.

What they add is their own copy. They can change it, pause it or delete it, and it affects nobody else. You do not see who added a copy or what they do with it. Changes you make later do not reach copies already taken — but anyone who opens the link later gets the timetable as it is at that moment, corrections included.

A copy counts against the limits of whoever adds it. A timetable counts as one reminder, however many lessons it holds.

How to stop the link

Any time, from wherever you got it:

• in the app — “Share as a link” again → “Stop the link”;
• on the website — the 🔗 button → “Stop the link”;
• in the chat — “stop the timetable link” or “stop the link to the meeting reminder”.

After that the page says the link no longer works. Copies people already added stay with them — they are their reminders now. Deleting the timetable itself stops its link too.

What cannot be shared, and why

• A doctor's prescription. A dose is written for one patient; on someone else's phone it is a medication schedule for the wrong person.
• A single lesson of a timetable or a course. Share the whole timetable — from its screen, or by asking for a link to the timetable.
• A reminder tied to your own device — an NFC tag, a Bluetooth device or a Wi-Fi network by name. Another phone will never meet them, and the names are yours.
• A one-off reminder whose time has passed.

Try one and the bot says so, and why.

A place reminder travels with the name only

If a reminder fires at a place — “when I get to school” — only the place's name goes with it, no coordinates. Someone who adds a copy without a place of that name gets a reminder that waits: it starts working as soon as they save a place with that name. How to save one: location reminders.

When you need more than a copy

A link hands out copies and nothing comes back — no “done”, no changes. To set reminders for each other and see them, there is the family. And turning a photo of a timetable into reminders in the first place is step by step here.
