Exam countdown Live Activity
The night before an exam, a live countdown appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with your prep progress alongside it.
When an exam on your Plan is a day away, PlanexAI starts a countdown Live Activity: the exam title, course code, and a running timer to exam time, right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
It knows how ready you are
The countdown carries your Exam Mode progress: "Prep 2 of 4 done" while sessions remain, and when every session is finished, "Every prep session done. You are ready." Tapping it opens the Study tab.
A focus session shows its own Live Activity too, so a running timer is always visible without unlocking your phone.
Frequently asked questions
When does the exam countdown appear?
Automatically, once an exam on your Plan is within a day. It ends on its own after the exam; no setup is needed beyond allowing Live Activities for PlanexAI in iOS Settings.
