Release Notes - Clock.SchoolClock.School

v3.0.0

April 27, 2026

Clock.School is now fully focused on professional educators. We’ve simplified the account model, retired the beta program, rewritten the Terms of Service, and trimmed how much personal information we ask for.

One simple account model

Verified educators get every feature for free: unlimited displays, auto-schedule, custom branding, display options, editor collaboration, schedule transfer, and the public directory.
Unverified accounts can still get up and running: one display with up to two schedules using the standard look. Plenty to test the waters.
The Beta program has been retired — what was beta is now just part of Clock.School.

Streamlined signup

Sign in with Google, confirm you’re an educator over 21, accept the Terms — that’s it.
School information and verification proof now live on a dedicated /get-verified page.
You can update your verification submission anytime, and the page tells you when your request is in our queue.

Better editor collaboration

Verified educators can invite up to five colleagues to help manage a display.
Got an invite from a colleague but aren’t verified yet? Clock.School walks you through verification first, then you can accept.

Updated Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Combined into one shorter, plain-language document. Read the latest at /terms.
We collect less. We no longer ask for date of birth, work email, or a secondary email.
We don’t sell your data. Verification ID photos are stored privately and removed once a verification request is reviewed.
When the Terms change in a meaningful way, you’ll be prompted to re-accept the new version before continuing.

Lots of small polish

Display admin pages now preview the verified-only features (auto-schedule, custom style, options, editors) so you can see what verification unlocks.
Inactive accounts can be cleanly removed without leaving stray data behind.
Site version is now visible in the navbar — click it to land on this page.
