ClassLoop is a study planner built for students. It brings your schedule, assignments, focus sessions, important dates, and study data together in one app. There are no complicated social features or distracting gamification—open the app and immediately see today’s classes and tasks. 【Today】 The home screen automatically shows your current class, next class, break status, and today’s tasks based on the current time. Classes, assignments, and important dates are presented together, reducing the need to switch between screens. 【Schedule】 Use daily, weekly, and monthly views to understand each day, find free time during the week, and plan ahead. Set alternating-week classes, classrooms, teachers, reminders, and custom lesson times. Quickly import a schedule by pasting natural text or importing CSV and text files. 【Assignments & Tasks】 Record assignments, quizzes, and exams with due dates, priorities, reminders, estimated time, and subtasks. View pending, due today, overdue, and completed work, then filter by today, this week, overdue, high priority, or exams. 【Plan】 See your study workload, upcoming tasks, and important dates for the next seven days. Spot busy days early and arrange revision and assignments more effectively. 【Focus Timer】 Start a focus session linked to a specific assignment. Completed focus time is saved to your study data, helping you review your daily and weekly effort. 【Study Data & Grades】 Review assignment completion, focus time, and study trends. University students can also record grades and credits, calculate GPA, and track semester performance. 【Widgets & Notifications】 ClassLoop supports Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, morning schedule updates, class reminders, and assignment deadline alerts.
