Not another planner. A plan that rebuilds itself. Tell it which exams you have, which books they cover, and how many hours a week you actually get. Syllabus Planner works backwards from your exam dates and tells you what to study today: which pages, from which subject, for how long. Skip a day? The plan redraws. Move faster than expected? It redraws too. You never start over because life got in the way. UPLOAD THE SYLLABUS, DON'T RETYPE IT A photo or a PDF of the course outline: it picks out subjects, exam dates, credits and chapters. Then it asks you to confirm each one — nothing is created behind your back. The reading happens on your device, and the document never leaves it. WHEN YOU FALL BEHIND IT SAYS SO, AND OFFERS THREE WAYS BACK Spread the backlog across every day left, clear it in the next few days, or keep your days as they are. Each with the real before-and-after numbers, not a pep talk. FOCUS A timer for the study session, with pause. On stop it logs the minutes you actually spent — and that is what teaches the app your real pace, instead of trusting the estimates you gave it on day one. THE DAY, NOT THE SEMESTER Today's screen answers one question: what do I do now. The calendar and the countdown for every exam are there, one step behind. A TUTOR THAT KNOWS YOUR PLAN Connect an AI model with your own key and it can quiz you, explain a topic, or reshape your day when you only have an hour. If it proposes a change to the plan, you apply it with one tap: it never touches anything on its own. ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC The same app, shaped for each screen — and the same plan. What you tick off on the Mac in the morning is already there on your phone in the afternoon. WHERE YOUR DATA LIVES On your device, and in your own iCloud. Exams, material and logged hours follow you across iPhone, iPad and Mac: they stay under your Apple Account, never pass through a server of ours, and we cannot read them. No account to create, no ads, no tracking. The tutor stays off until you connect a model yourself, and notifications and calendar stay off until you switch them on. Syllabus Planner is free for one exam. For as many as you like, the full plan unlocks by semester, by year, or once, for good.
