About

StudyBridge

Features
Read full description

StudyBridge turns your class timetable into a study plan you will actually follow. Add your courses once — type them in, or let StudyBridge read a timetable you already have. It builds a weekly plan around the time you say you are free, keeps today's sessions in front of you, and reminds you before class and before a deadline. WHAT IT DOES Courses and timetable Add classes by hand in a few taps, or import a timetable you already have and check what was read before anything is saved. Nothing is added behind your back. A plan built around your week Tell StudyBridge when you usually study. It fills those windows with work for the subjects that need it, and rebuilds when your week changes. Today One screen for what is happening now — the next class, the next study session, what is due. Start a focus session from it and StudyBridge keeps the history. Reminders and calendar Alerts before class and before a deadline. Export any of it to your own calendar, so it sits beside everything else in your life. Backup Move everything to a new phone in one file. Restore shows you exactly what will change before it changes anything. Seventeen languages The whole app, not a menu: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Español, Português, Italiano, Русский, العربية, हिन्दी, ไทย, Tiếng Việt, Bahasa Indonesia, Türkçe. Choose it in the app — you do not have to change your phone's language to read it. WHAT COSTS NOTHING Courses, timetable and weekly planning. Adding a timetable by hand. Calendar export. Focus sessions and history. Class and deadline reminders. Backup and restore. All seventeen languages. These run on your device, and they are not going to become paid features later. STUDYBRIDGE PLUS An optional subscription that removes the monthly limit on AI summaries and on image-aware timetable scanning. Those are the only two things that send anything to a model, and they are the only two things that cost StudyBridge money to run. The free plan includes five AI runs each calendar month. Everything else is unlimited on every plan. YOUR DATA Your courses, plans and notes are stored on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a StudyBridge account, because there is no StudyBridge account. AI features send only what you hand them, only when you ask, and only after you have said yes once. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
