WORK

Your buckets

Every assignment lands in one of four buckets: The Danger Zone for anything due today or overdue, Quick Wins for short tasks, Deep Focus for work that needs a long sitting, and Everything Else. You can also switch to Priority, Classes, or By date. Add personal tasks (SATs, college apps) so the plan sees your whole life.

AI ASSISTANT

Plan a session, break it down

Tell it how much time you have and how your brain feels (Low, Steady, or Sharp), and it builds tonight's session in priority order with a first step for each task. Stuck on something big? Break it into steps, then push back in chat until the steps fit you.

FOCUS

One task at a time

The Next-up card names your single most urgent task; Focus mode swaps the whole screen to just that one thing. Pair it with the browser extension and distracting sites close themselves until you're done.

WORKLOAD RADAR

See the crunch coming

A timeline of the weeks ahead: every assignment as a work window, a line for today, shading on crunch days, and a marker showing where you'd be if you chipped away evenly.

PLAN

Will the week fit?

Plan shows whether the next two weeks' work fits. A capacity verdict and per-day headroom bars show exactly where the load stacks up, so a heavy stretch is something you see coming days in advance.

INSIGHTS

Progress without dread

A completion ring for the week, your on-time pace, a busiest-days heatmap, and workload by class. Grades show per assignment, with no running class average.
