Daily study planner

Open it. See today's plan. Start.

A fresh schedule every morning — built from what you have to cover, how long you have, and what you actually got through yesterday.

The hardest twenty minutes of a study day are the first twenty — sitting down and choosing where to start. Then choosing again after the break. Then wondering whether the thing you picked was the thing you should have picked.

That deliberation is expensive and it happens daily. A plan made in advance removes it.

What today looks like

You open the app and see a short list:

  • Session 1 — Cell Biology: membrane transport (45 min)
  • Session 2 — Statistics: hypothesis testing problems (60 min)
  • Session 3 — Revision: last week's genetics (20 min)
  • Session 4 — Reading: assigned chapter, ch. 7 (30 min)

You start the first one. That's the whole interaction.

How each day gets built

Four inputs decide it:

  1. What you have to cover — a preset syllabus or your own subject list.
  2. When it matters — the deadline sets the pace.
  3. Hours you realistically have — not the hours you wish you had.
  4. Yesterday — what you finished, what you didn't.

If yesterday slipped, today takes some of it back. If yesterday went well, today pulls revision forward instead of racing ahead.

Why daily beats weekly

A weekly plan looks impressive on Sunday and is wrong by Wednesday. It was written by someone who didn't know about the late night, the family thing, or the two hours lost to one stubborn topic.

A daily plan is built from yesterday's actual result, so it's never arguing with reality. It also means falling behind costs you nothing but a slightly fuller Thursday — there's no wreckage to rebuild.

What's in it

  • A generated session list — new every day.
  • Focus timer — Pomodoro or open-ended, counting real study time.
  • Automatic spaced revision — mixed into ordinary days without being scheduled.
  • Distraction tracking — see where the day breaks down.
  • Streaks and analytics — enough feedback to notice a slide early.
  • Study groups — shared plans with people working toward the same deadline.

Who it's for

  • University and college students holding several modules at once
  • Anyone preparing for a professional or licensing exam alongside a job
  • Self-learners working through a long syllabus with no timetable imposed on them
  • Competitive exam candidates who need steady coverage over months
  • Anyone who studies plenty but can't tell whether it's adding up

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a to-do list?
A to-do list holds whatever you typed into it. This decides the list — which topics come up today, in what order and for how long, based on your deadline and what you finished yesterday. You execute rather than plan.
My schedule is different every day. Does that break it?
No. You set typical daily hours and override any specific day — a heavy shift, a light weekend. The plan redistributes around it instead of falling apart.
Can I use my own subjects?
Yes. Use a preset syllabus or build your own from scratch with your subjects, chapters and topics.
Does it work for university coursework?
Yes — semester modules, dissertations, certification courses, self-directed study. Anything with material to get through and a date attached.
Is it free?
Yes. The daily planner, focus timer and revision system are all free.
