When you’re a student studying multiple subjects, staying on top of your school, homework, social life, and work is not an easy task. Of course, you’ve likely been given an agenda at the start of the school year, and while an agenda serves as a decent paper-based organizational tool, you’re probably going to be better off seeking out a digital alternative instead. This is especially true for students with learning differences who tend to perform better within a more flexible digital space.

MyStudyLife is a personal academic assistant that is designed to keep track of your commitments through scheduling, tasks, and reminders. Essentially it does everything that an agenda does, in a digital space, so that you can access your schedule from anywhere on virtually any device. The app was specifically developed for students, so it’s based around an academic calendar where users can input term dates, holidays, classes, exams, extra-curricular activities and more.

With all your details inputted, you can then take advantage of the app’s dashboard, which does a great job showing you an overview of everything that you have going on in your life. The app also does a great job of visually differentiating between tasks. Individual subjects feature their own unique backgrounds, and tasks and activities will appear as specific colors. Plus, you’ll see a summary of all the days activities at the top of your dashboard, making it easy to see what’s going on at a glance.

Tasks on the app can be broken down into parts, since many tasks in life aren’t binary and as such require multiple steps to complete. The app also highlights tasks that are incomplete directly from the dashboard menu allowing you to quickly see where you stand for the day. Tasks can also be set by type (Assignment, Reminder, Revision, Essay, Group Project, Reading, Meeting) and by frequency, making it easy to manage recurring tasks without having to re-enter them every time.

MyStudyLife is available on PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. To learn more, click here.
