Always know exactly what to work on next. Every term starts the same way: multiple syllabi, disconnected systems, and no single place that tells you what's actually due. ClassPlan reads them and turns the pile into one ranked plan. WHAT YOU GET Up next — the one screen that matters. Your next classes and the readings, problem sets and papers due before them, in the order you should do them. No sorting, no cross-referencing. Your week at a glance — every class, room and deadline on one calendar. Switch to By course when you want to see a single subject end to end. Add a class in seconds — upload the syllabus and ClassPlan pulls out the assignments, due dates and class times for you. Shared classes — when a classmate adds the same course, you're automatically placed in one shared class you can edit together. Someone corrects a due date, everyone gets it. No group chat archaeology. In the calendar you already use — subscribe once and every class, room and due date shows up in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook, staying current all term. No new app to remember. Reminders that land before you need them — a nudge the day before something is due, a heads-up half an hour before class with the room number, and an alert when a classmate changes something in a class you share. Events — talks, mixers and get-togethers for your program, with RSVPs in the same place as everything else. BUILT BY A STUDENT ClassPlan was built by an MIT Sloan Fellow who was tired of rebuilding the same spreadsheet every term, and it's used daily by hundreds of classmates. It's now open to students at any university with a school email. PRICING Join your first class and your first 30 days are free — no card required to start. Subscriptions purchased in the app are billed through your Apple ID and renew automatically until cancelled in Settings.
