Chacevia is a homework app that doesn't feel like one. Your work shows up as squares, bigger squares for bigger assignments. Tap one to see what's due, how long it'll take, and when. Hit Done and it pops. Rocco, your little study buddy, notices. THE MORNING PAPER Every morning, Chacevia writes you a newspaper with your name on the masthead. Your classes, your deadlines, and a few headlines from the world, all in one quick read before school. CANVAS, CONNECTED Paste your Canvas calendar link once and your assignments fill in on their own, with due dates and links. Old stuff gets cleared out so you only see what matters. ROCCO Ask Rocco what's due, what to do first, or how to fit it all in tonight. He'll remind you before things are due, not after. FOCUS MODE Pick the apps that distract you. When work is due, Chacevia blocks them until you check in with Rocco. Finished? Tap "I've done it," pick what you finished, and you're free. YOUR SCHEDULE IN ONE SNAP Take a photo of your class schedule and Chacevia sets up your week. CHACEVIA PREMIUM Unlimited Rocco, "plan my night", Rocco's voice, and Strict Focus Mode with your own block hours. Try it free for 7 days. Made by a high schooler, for high schoolers.
