No more flipping through pages with a physical planner! •Tasks are intelligently organized so that you don't have to do the heavy lifting - just add what's in your syllabus and let B4Grad handle the rest! •Today's classes are at the very top so that you don't miss them. •Intuitive Design keeps things simple for you, so that you can spend more time actually doing homework instead of organizing it. •Interactive gestures help you feel rewarded for getting things done. •We provide a bird's eye view of upcoming and past work by organizing a digital syllabus for each course. But There’s More! ORGANIZE CLASS EASILY Most apps don’t let you track more than just classes.

We can also remind you before a class begins, so that you have enough time to get there. With B4Grad, you will never miss another class again! THE ULTIMATE PLANNER Why spend money on a traditional agenda, calendar, timetable sheet, and more, when you can simply use B4Grad as your planner?

You can also attach Notes, Subtasks, and more to your tasks! STAY MOTIVATED B4Grad is designed to be highly interactive, so that the product feels great to use.
