SEE YOUR SEMESTER AT A GLANCE A single dashboard shows your GPA, overall readiness, your next deadline and next exam, and exactly what to study today. IMPORT FROM MOODLE OR CANVAS Connect your school's Moodle or Canvas and GapTracker pulls in your courses, assignments, and due dates automatically โ€” so your planner is always up to date. It's a direct, private connection between your device and your school: no password sharing, no GapTracker account, and no server in between. PLAN YOUR ASSIGNMENTS Add every assignment with its due date, grade weight, and estimated time. Break the big ones into subtasks, see what's due today, this week, and overdue, and knock them out with a built-in focus timer. KNOW YOUR READINESS Import a syllabus (PDF or a photo) or add courses by hand, then rate each topic. GapTracker weighs them by credit hours and exam urgency into one honest readiness score per course and overall. Critical Gaps ranks your weakest, most urgent topics first and tells you the best next step. TRACK YOUR GPA & DEGREE See your current GPA from passed courses, set a target grade in each course to project where you'll land, and add past-semester courses so it's complete. Watch how much of your degree you've finished. STUDY WITH MOMENTUM Run a focus timer on any topic or assignment, log your sessions, and build a streak. Follow live sessions on the Lock Screen, track progress from the Home Screen widget, and see your best study days in Insights.
