Modulo

Your whole academic year, laid out. Tell Modulo your university, course and year, and it builds every semester, week and module — so your notes have a place before you've written a word. FOR EVERY WEEK • Open the app and you're on this week. No folders, no filenames. • One note per module per week: text, photos, highlights, tables and to-dos, in the order you put them. • Give a note a title and it shows as "Anatomy — Upper limb" everywhere. FOR GETTING THINGS DONE • To-dos live where they're due. Write one in Week 6 and it shows as coming up, then on your list, then overdue if you miss it. • This week's list on your Home screen (iPhone) or in the sidebar (iPad). Tick things off without opening the note. • Star a week to keep it on your Reviews tab. FOR REMEMBERING IT • Review reminders a week, a fortnight and a month after you take notes — spaced repetition, built in. • Search across every note, every week. • Optional Monday-morning and review-day reminders. Local, on your phone — nothing is sent anywhere. FOR YOUR COURSE • Real term dates for universities across the UK, US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Africa and more — including medical school calendars by year, and quarter systems. • Modules can run Semester 1, Semester 2 or the full year. • If your term starts on a different date, nudge it and the whole year moves. FOR FRIENDS • Share a note and it lands in their Modulo, in the same week and module. Or send it as plain text to anyone. MADE FOR iPAD AND iPHONE A sidebar and a wide page on iPad; a clean tab bar on iPhone. Light and dark. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Your notes stay on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Modulo at daily against Parent Portal's every 5 weeks. Parent Portal's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
