Dyscalcuhelper is a utility meant to help those with dyscalculia, or in other ways struggle with time and numbers.
In the app you will be able to choose a time you are supposed to meet, for instance the time you should be at work in the morning, and then get help to see when you should set your alarm clock in order to be able to get what you want to have done (your Todos) in time before work.

The way it is done is by letting you add Todos, meaning the things you would like to do before getting to work, like taking a shower, eating etc. If you do not know how long time a shower takes, you have the possibility to use a timer in the app to take the time on your Todos.

Those Todos can then be used when you select the time you should be at work in the Alarm time view, and then select which of the Todos you would like to have done before work, and then instantly get the time you need to set your alarm to in order to get all your Todos done in time to get to work in time.
There is also the possibility to add the travel time, either by car or by walking, in the calculation, so you can search for the address or name of your destination, and then have the time that Apple Maps reports the travel to the destination you choose takes, and have that in the calculation of your alarm time. The route to the chosen destination can also be shown.
NOTE! The travel time that Apple Maps reports is the quickest travel time at the time when the destination is chosen, and can vary based on traffic conditions, closed roads etc at the time of choosing.

It is also possible to start a countdown when you have chosen the Todos you want to have done before a meeting, and that will then trigger notifications on your phone when you should prepare to finish a Todo, and when you need to start the next Todo. This way should help you to not spend too much time on each Todo, and in that way help you get them done in time before a meeting.

Those alarms, or set of alarms, selected Todos and travel time, can also be saved, so they can easily be reused when for instance you would like to save a "Morning routine with travel to work", and easily reuse that to find the time you can set your alarm to, instead of every time choosing the same time and Todos again and again.

In addition you can now choose to setup reminders from those saved alarms, utilizing the Reminders app on your phone, and have reminders setup on selected days of the week, to be automatically reminded of the activities you want, instead of choosing the saved alarm and start the countdown every time for those Todos you use regularly.
