# Schoolvakanties - School holidays to be used in your flow

This app allows you to check if today, yesterday, or tomorrow is a (school) holiday in the Netherlands. It provides detailed information about school holidays in different regions (North, Central, South) and various types of holidays such as Autumn break, Christmas break, Spring break, May holidays, and Summer holidays. You can also add and manage custom holidays and get an overview of all holidays per region. The app includes tokens for integrating holiday checks into your flows, making it easy to automate actions based on school holidays.

Do you have set a bigger font size on the ipad?  
In see the afval reminder widget is also a bit out of shape 😇

Either way ios is at version 18, i think the iOS is a bit outdated and maybe not supporting some latest css features

Interesting app! Is it also possible to trigger flows based on custom holidays? This would kill two birds with one stone by allowing your system to trigger on both your personal and school holidays.
