Open the app. Do the top thing. Repeat.

Students live in five tabs. The habit is one minute long: open Work, trust the order, start the first row. Everything else exists to make that order honest.

Your ranked list

Every assignment lands here with a rank the engine can justify — urgency and grade impact, not just deadline. Flip between Recommended, Priority, By date, and By class. Add personal tasks (SATs, college apps) so the plan sees your whole life, and Brain-dump a messy list to turn it into real tasks.

You stop deciding what to do — you just do.

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.

Starting is the hard part. It hands you the start.

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 politely close themselves until you're done.

Momentum, protected.

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 — so "behind" is a fact you can see early, not a feeling that hits late.

No more surprise week-from-hell.

PLAN

Will it fit, and when

Set your real free time once — including practices, jobs, commitments — and Plan answers the only question that matters: does the next two weeks' work fit? A capacity verdict, per-day headroom bars, and an auto-plan that drops tasks into your actual open blocks.

Plans built for the week you actually have.

INSIGHTS

Progress without dread

A completion ring for the week, your on-time pace, a busiest-days heatmap, workload by class, and patterns the app notices about how you work. Grades show per assignment — never a running class average staring back at you. That's deliberate.

Feedback that builds momentum, not anxiety.
