Every subject in one place. Unibud keeps your coursework the way you actually think about it — one folder per subject, with the deadlines, tasks and notes for that subject inside it. Then it does the part you forget: it asks. Once a day, at a time you choose, Unibud checks in so an assignment set three weeks ago does not become tomorrow's problem. SUBJECTS AS FOLDERS Add the subjects you are taking this term. Everything else — documents, tasks, deadlines — lives in the folder it belongs to, not in one endless list. DEADLINES YOU CAN SEE COMING Add assignments, quizzes and exams with the date they are due. Unibud sorts them by what comes first, flags anything overdue, and reminds you a set number of hours ahead. YOUR WEEK, CLASS BY CLASS Put your timetable in once. Class times sit beside everything else you owe, so your week is one picture instead of three apps. TASKS THAT KNOW THEIR SUBJECT Add a task to a subject and it shows up both places: on the subject and in one combined list when you want to see the lot. A DAILY CHECK-IN One notification a day, at a time you set. Answer it in a few seconds and nothing gets remembered at the last minute. YOUR FILES, FILED Attach lecture notes and slides to the subject they belong to, and keep a list of the chapters you are revising against each one. NO ACCOUNT. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE. There is no sign-up, because there is nothing to sign up to. Unibud stores everything in a database on your device. No cloud, no servers, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to. It works with the plane mode on. Built for students who want their term organised, not gamified.
