Know where you stand in every course. GradeCalc turns your grades into the one number that matters and the exact score you need next. THE ANSWER FIRST Every course card leads with the verdict: the exact score on the final that keeps your target, written in red. A grade ledger shows what is already banked, what was dropped, and what is still in play, with a points-to-spare chip that says how much you can still lose and make it. WEIGHTED GRADES Set up categories like Homework, Quizzes, and Midterms with the weight each carries, log your scores, and watch your real course grade update instantly. WHAT YOU NEED ON THE FINAL Tell GradeCalc your target and it solves the exact score you need on the final exam. It is honest at the edges too: when the target is already secured, or out of reach, it says so. SEMESTER AND CUMULATIVE GPA See your semester GPA and your cumulative GPA across every term, with a per-term trend. Pick the scale your school uses: US plus/minus on 4.0, the 4.3 A+ scale, whole letters, or a credit-weighted percentage. WHAT-IF SCENARIOS Try any score on the final and watch your projected course grade, letter, and semester GPA move in real time. GRADE LAB Preview what happens if a teacher drops your lowest score, replaces a grade after a retake, or asks you to recover across several assignments. Every preview leaves your saved grades untouched. TRACK EVERY COURSE Keep all of your courses in one place, each with its own categories, target grade, and credits. EXPORT Share a semester report PDF or a CSV of every grade straight from the share sheet, ready to print or keep. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no cloud, no tracking. Everything you enter stays on your iPhone. FREE AND PRO Free tracks one course with its weighted grade and the final-score solver. Every Pro option unlocks all of your courses, semester and cumulative GPA, what-if scenarios, Grade Lab, and PDF and CSV export. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or pay once for Lifetime access. The current price is shown in the app before you buy. GradeCalc Pro is offered as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one time Lifetime purchase.
