Sunday night, you set up your timetable once. From then on School Planner already knows your week — which classes, in which rooms, what's due, what's next — and it tells you before each one, not after. For middle school, high school, college and university. YOUR WEEK, THE WAY IT ACTUALLY RUNS • A real timetable grid — full week, weekdays only, or two days at a time • Classes that repeat weekly, or every two weeks on odd and even weeks • Lectures, labs, seminars, practicals, study groups and online classes, kept apart • Drop a single session when it's called off, and undo it if you change your mind • Add your holidays once and the classes on those days drop out of your week, every year • A colour, a room and a teacher for every subject HOMEWORK, EXAMS AND EVERYTHING ELSE • Homework with due dates, notes, and a star for the ones that actually matter • Exams kept separate from homework, grouped by date, with an Upcoming filter • Tasks for the things that aren't schoolwork • Sorted by done and not done — anything overdue is flagged so it can't hide REMINDERS THAT SAY WHEN, AND LET YOU ACT • 10 minutes before every class. 30 minutes before every exam • On the morning something is due, plus any earlier reminder you choose • Mark homework done straight from the notification — or push it back an hour, or to tomorrow • Online class? Open the link straight from the notification ON YOUR HOME SCREEN • An Agenda widget in three sizes: what's left today, what's coming tomorrow • Press and hold the app icon to add homework, an exam or a task in one step • A calendar strip that marks every day with something scheduled THE TERM, AND YOUR TEACHERS • Set your term dates and see the percent done and the days left • Office hours, rooms and contact details for every teacher — import them from Contacts • Sign in and your week follows you to your other devices and to the web planner Built for iPhone and iPad. Works offline. Undoes anything you delete by mistake. School Planner is free, with ads. Premium removes the ads and unlocks the timetable grid, the larger widgets and the web planner — monthly or yearly, with a free trial on the yearly plan. Everything else is free, within limits on how much you can add. Privacy Policy: https://schoolplanner.me/privacy Terms & Conditions: https://schoolplanner.me/terms
