A diary that knows you teach from a car
Roadworthy's diary is built around how instructors actually work: a day view with a live countdown to the next lesson, a week strip to jump between days, money and mileage for the day at a glance, and warnings when two bookings don't leave enough driving time between pickups.
The next-lesson countdown
The top of the day view always answers the only question that matters between lessons: who's next, when, and where's the pickup — with a live countdown. The same card drives the CarPlay screen when you plug into the car.
The day at a glance
Lessons booked, money booked, and miles to drive — three numbers across the top of every day. A "this week" money card keeps the bigger picture in view, and each lesson shows its payment status (paid, deposit paid, outstanding) without opening it.
Availability, time off and standing lessons
Set your weekly teaching hours once — pupils only see bookable slots inside them. Time off blocks booking for holidays. Regular weekly pupils can be set up as standing lessons so the diary fills itself.
Your personal calendar, respected
One tap adds a lesson to your iPhone calendar. Turn on calendar sync and Roadworthy also shows your personal events inside the day view and warns when a lesson clashes with one — it reads, it never changes your events.
Reminders that use your own number
Confirm-upcoming nudges for lessons in the next 48 hours and win-back messages for pupils who've gone quiet — sent as one-tap SMS or email from your own phone, so pupils reply to you, not to a gateway number. You also get a lesson reminder 45 minutes before each lesson.
A school view for more than one of you
Small schools switch between instructors — or an "Everyone" view of the whole school's day — with one tap. Each instructor keeps their own diary, availability, pupils and route.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Roadworthy's diary different from a normal calendar app?
A calendar shows appointments; Roadworthy's diary knows lessons have pickups, prices and pupils. It warns when two bookings don't leave enough driving time between pickups, shows payment status on every lesson, counts the day's money and miles, and feeds the whole thing to your car via CarPlay.
Can pupils see my whole diary?
No. Your booking page only shows bookable free slots derived from your weekly availability, existing lessons and time off. Pupils never see other pupils, prices you haven't published, or your personal calendar.
Does it handle back-to-back lessons across town?
That's the point of the travel-gap warning: Roadworthy estimates the driving time between consecutive pickups and flags any leg where the drive is longer than the gap ("needs ~12 min to drive, 5 min free") — in the diary, on the route view and on CarPlay.
What happens when a pupil cancels?
The slot is freed and Roadworthy offers a one-tap "fill this gap" flow that surfaces pupils who want more lessons — starting with those flagged as wanting flexible or extra slots.
Can I reschedule a lesson without phoning the pupil back and forth?
Rescheduling is built in: pick the new time from your actual free slots, and the booking moves with its payment status intact. Pair it with the confirm-upcoming reminder (one-tap SMS from your own number) and the pupil always knows where they stand.
