Stop juggling sticky notes, scattered to-do lists, and five different apps just to keep your semester on track. Studiplanner puts everything you need to study smarter into one clean, beautifully designed experience β€” a visual study board, a built-in focus timer, subject tracking, and deadline management. No account required. No subscriptions. Just open it and start studying. Your study workflow is built around a Kanban-style board where every assignment, chapter, and exam lives as a card you can swipe through stages β€” from "To Learn" through "In Progress" to "Done." You always know exactly where you stand. Need an extra review step before marking something complete? Toggle the optional Repetition column in settings to add a spaced-repetition stage to your flow. The built-in Pomodoro focus timer keeps you honest. Pick a subject, hit start, and work in focused intervals with automatic short and long breaks. A distraction-free mode hides everything except the countdown so you can lock in without temptation. Every minute you study gets tracked per subject, so you can see exactly where your time is going. Organize everything by subject with color-coded cards, priority levels, exam dates, and topic checklists β€” then watch your progress grow as you check things off. Set a daily study reminder so you never lose momentum, even during the busiest weeks of the semester. Studiplanner is designed for students who want to stay organized without overthinking the tools they use. β—† VISUAL KANBAN STUDY BOARD β€’ Drag and drop on tablet or desktop, swipe on your phone β€’ Track cards through To Learn β†’ In Progress β†’ Done β€’ Optional Repetition stage for spaced review before completion β€’ Filter by subject, priority, or deadline to cut through the noise β€’ Add exam dates, study topics, priority tags, and time estimates to every card β—† POMODORO FOCUS TIMER β€’ Customizable work, short break, and long break durations β€’ Tracks completed pomodoros and study time per subject β€’ Distraction-free fullscreen mode for deep work sessions β€’ Confetti celebration when you finish a work interval β€” because you earned it β—† SUBJECT MANAGEMENT β€’ Color-coded subjects with detailed progress dashboards β€’ See card counts, completion rates, and total study minutes at a glance β€’ Per-subject breakdown so you know which courses need more attention β—† SMART REMINDERS & DEADLINES β€’ Set daily study reminders at your preferred time β€’ Exam and due date tracking with countdown indicators β€’ Overdue alerts so nothing slips through the cracks β—† BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW β€’ Works beautifully on iPhone, iPad, and Mac β€’ Adaptive layout β€” sidebar navigation on larger screens, tabs on mobile β€’ Dark mode, light mode, or match your system setting β€’ Available in English, German, Spanish, and French β€’ All data stored locally on your device β€” no account needed, no cloud, no tracking β€’ Completely free with no ads and no in-app purchases Download Studiplanner and take control of your semester β€” one card, one pomodoro at a time.
