iStodo: cross-platform organizer for students

Today I want to talk about the program, which I missed all my studies at the university.



We have long been accustomed to the fact that every day we have to think about what task to do today, and which can be postponed until the session . Planning for more than a week is difficult, because you have to regularly spend time on it. Syllabus, plans for the deadline, too, can not be called visual. Every time to watch the schedule online or, especially, in the printed version is also not very convenient. Well, by the session, many people are in trouble - you need to keep in mind that what remains to be done in each subject, such as tamping it into an already tight schedule.

iStodo helps plan and distribute the workload for the semester ahead, prioritize tasks, and control deadlines. You can customize the schedule for yourself, for example, remove the pairs of the second subgroup from the grid in parallel, or vice versa, add teacher consultations. All information for the week is presented in a visual form, on one screen - the use of disparate tools is no longer necessary.

To facilitate scheduling, the possibility of batch work with tasks was added, that is, the automatic generation of a series of tasks with a predetermined periodicity: every few days, weeks, or months. There are filters that allow you to hide completed, or show tasks only in certain subjects.

Visual schedule editor helps to add a pair in three clicks - you just select the teacher, subject, and pair type from the lists. A schedule of different (even / odd) weeks is supported.



At the moment, the version for mobile platforms is in development, to view the schedule on smartphones, you can still use the export to iCal format.

  Work with a series of tasks, filtering, priorities, deadlines
