How the planner works
Everything is designed to stay simple and private.
Add work once. Assignments power your to-do list, deadline timeline, missing-work tracker, and study schedule.
Missing work is automatic. Any incomplete assignment past its due date is flagged overdue. You can still complete or edit it normally.
Schedules are rule-based. The planner prioritizes overdue work, close deadlines, urgency, and estimated effort. It does not call an external AI service.
Your data stays here. The planner uses this browser’s local storage. Use Export Planner before switching browsers or devices.

Want more than a productivity planner? The Canvas Student Success Toolkit brings additional academic organization and planning resources together in one convenient system.
Common Academic Challenges Students Face
University workloads are more demanding than ever. Without a dedicated execution framework, administrative friction eats away at study efficiency and academic performance.
Assignments Are Scattered Across Courses
Students often have different assignments, major projects, quizzes, and shifting deadlines spread across multiple classes and syllabi.
Important Deadlines Are Easy to Miss
Without a centralized command system, upcoming deliverables and overdue work become increasingly difficult to track and prioritize.
Study Time Is Hard to Organize
Students may know what tasks need to be completed, but struggle to decide exactly when to work on each task for optimal focus.
Missing Work Can Pile Up
A single overdue assignment can quickly compound into a backlogged mountain of tasks when new weekly deadlines continue approaching.
Large Assignments Feel Overwhelming
Complex research projects and long-form essays require sustained multi-session preparation rather than a single last-minute sitting.
Balancing Multiple Courses Is Difficult
Managing several rigorous courses simultaneously requires clear visibility into total weekly workload and competing due dates.
