OpenHour guide

Schedule a study group around everyone's classes

A study group scheduler should understand the conflicts students already have. OpenHour combines connected calendars with imported class schedules, finds the open window shared by the group, and creates a plan where the time, participants, and conversation stay together.

How it works

Import class schedules
Students can upload multiple schedule photos when one screenshot does not contain every class.
Compare the group
Look across the week for a window that does not conflict with classes, work, or existing events.
Create the session
Turn the chosen window into a study plan and use its chat for location or assignment details.

Why class schedules are different

Many students do not keep every class in a personal calendar, and course schedules often arrive as screenshots or portal pages. Photo import fills that gap without making schedule setup mandatory for every other user.

A useful semester workflow

At the start of a semester, import classes once, review the extracted times, and connect any calendar that contains work or personal events. The study group can then compare current availability without requesting a new poll every week.

Common questions

Can I upload more than one schedule photo?

Yes. OpenHour supports additional photos when a class schedule spans multiple screens or pages.

Is adding a schedule required?

No, but shared availability is more reliable when each participant connects or adds the schedule that represents their real conflicts.
