An anti-overwhelm study planner. Tell it how many hours a day you can study, and it spreads your preparation across the calendar so everything gets done without last-minute cramming.
Open the app →Your program end date, who sets the order of subjects (your school or you), how many hours a day you can study (2–8) and your rest days. These numbers drive the whole plan and can be changed in settings at any time.
The easiest way is to upload a photo or screenshot of your student portal, or a PDF, Excel or Word file with the subject list: the app reads names, hours and credits itself. You can also paste a link to a course page or add subjects by hand. Due dates can be typed in words: “14 January”, “in 2 weeks”, “on Friday”. In the upload window, set the study start and end dates and answer how many hours 1 credit takes you: the app shows the total in hours and an approximate finish date right away. If the semester is already underway, mark the sections you have done — no tasks are created for them.
The wizard assigns a deadline to every subject so that everything fits into your daily norm. Tick what you have already passed, choose how many subjects to study at once — and your plan is ready: Today already has tasks on it. If the program doesn’t fit, open “Change the conditions” in the same window: daily and weekly hours, study days, the end date, hours per credit and the number of subjects at once. The result is recalculated immediately.
Only today’s tasks, nothing else. Check things off as you go — progress shows right away. The ▶ “Time it” button on a task runs a timer, so the app learns how long things really take. The “Ahead of plan” badge means you finished a task earlier than scheduled.
The big picture: upcoming deadlines, this week’s plan vs. actual, the advisor if the program doesn’t fit, the “Some days are longer than your norm” card if the plan fits only above your norm, and load bars for the weeks ahead — you can see when it will get heavy.
All tasks by date plus the subject queue: what is in progress now and what comes next. “Calculate plan” rebuilds the schedule and shows beforehand exactly what will change. Tasks that don’t fit before their deadline wait in the pool.
Week or month view. Drag tasks with the mouse: a manually moved task becomes pinned and the planner won’t touch it again. Holidays, breaks and sick leave are marked here too — no tasks land on those days. If you move a task past the subject’s deadline, the app asks: “Keep it here” or “Change the deadline”.
Progress cards for every subject. Inside: sections, the deadline with its change history, the “Passed” button and “Replan” for when a subject’s schedule has drifted and is easier to rebuild from scratch. For a course with no exam, choose the type “No exam”: there is no review before an exam, and the end date is optional.
Passed subjects and grades. Enter a percentage and the grade in your grading system is filled in for you; you can also enter only the grade. The pass date can be corrected. The average is converted automatically into your system: Germany, US/UK, Russia/CIS or Spain.
Ask about your plan in plain words, or ask it to change something: adding a subject or course, a subject’s deadline, hours or exam type, its sections, your days off, reserve days and daily hours, completed sections, your own and repeating tasks, moving tasks, holidays or sick leave, catch-up mode, the grading system, your name, language, emails and reminders. It changes nothing on its own: it first shows a card with what will change and what happens to your plan, and applies it only when you press “Apply”. You can undo the latest change. Your conversation is saved in your account and shows up on all your devices; to delete it, use the bin icon in the assistant window.
Daily hours, rest days and reserve days, session length, grading system, reminders and emails, the calendar link, Telegram, your subscription and a second study program. Everything saves itself — there is no “Save” button.
A screenshot of your student portal, a PDF, Excel, Word or CSV file — or a link to a course page (for example on Khan Academy). A single course page becomes one subject with sections; a program page becomes a list of subjects. Hours missing from the file are computed from credits.
In any date field you can type “14 January”, “14.01”, “in 2 weeks” or “on Friday” — in English, Russian, German or Spanish. If a date appears in the subject name, the app offers to use it as the due date.
Studying at university and on a course at the same time? Add a second program in settings: each has its own subject queue, end date and “how many at once”. The daily norm is shared — Today merges both. In the Archive, the average grade and credits are shown for each program separately; a program can have its own grading system and credit goal.
On Overview — one bar per week up to the last deadline: green is on track, amber is tight, red is overloaded. Tap a week to see what is on it and how to lighten it.
A long section is cut into parts of 30 minutes, an hour or two — or kept in one piece. The “Length of one session” setting lives in your profile; the plan rebuilds itself.
Press ▶ “Time it” on a task and the clock runs. Overview shows the week as plan vs. actual, and once there is enough data the app offers to adjust a subject’s hours to your real pace.
Profile → Settings → Calendar → “Get link”: subscribe in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Tasks and deadlines appear next to everything else and update on their own.
A 600-page textbook or a course of 80 lectures? Open the subject, press “Edit” → “More options” → “+ Volume in pages or lectures”, and enter the number and your pace (minutes per page or lecture). The hours are calculated for you, tasks get numbers like “pp. 41–80”, and the subject card shows progress like “40 of 600 pages”.
Profile → Settings → “Connect Notion”. The app creates a “Sprout Study — notes” database in your Notion. “Notes” tasks get a “Notes in Notion” button: one tap creates the topic page with subject, topic, date and a template for your notes, the next tap opens it. Reading and video tasks open the same topic page; written assignments, presentations and exam review get their own course page with a template. When the topic is done, Notion shows “Done”. The free Notion plan works. You can disconnect in the same Settings: your pages stay with you.
Link Telegram in settings and ask “what’s today?” or “what’s tomorrow?” right in the chat. Write “review lecture 5 on Friday” — the task appears in your plan.
No connection — the Today tab opens from the saved copy. Check-offs are kept and sync to the cloud as soon as you are back online.
If a task keeps being carried over unfinished, a hint appears on Today: halve it, move it to tomorrow or ask the assistant where to start.
They didn’t fit into the calendar before the deadline at your current daily norm. Open “Planner” — the banner will tell you what to do: recalculate, move the deadline or change the norm.
Your subjects don’t fit into your norm before their deadlines. This happens if you lower your hours or add days off after the deadlines were set. The planner then uses the reserve day first and only after that adds sessions above the norm — never above your “Daily max”. On Overview and in Subjects you’ll see the “Some days are longer than your norm” card, and under the “Tight” label a “What can I do?” link. To get back within your norm, press “Distribute the program again”: the wizard moves the deadlines so everything fits. Or press “Change the norm” and raise your hours in Settings. In “School” mode the school sets the deadlines: raise your norm or move a subject’s deadline if that is allowed.
No app store needed: Sprout Study installs straight from the website. Tap “Install” in the app header to see the steps for your device. Android: browser menu ⋮ → “Install app”. iPhone and iPad: in Safari tap “Share” → “Add to Home Screen” → “Add”. Computer: in Chrome or Edge click the install icon at the right of the address bar. Once installed, the app has its own icon and window, and your plan opens even offline. On iPhone, reminders only reach the installed app.
It is the section task after reading. Close the material and recall the main points in your own words. From the second section on, also recall the previous section. You remember more this way than by copying into notes. You can turn notes on with the “Notes” checkbox of a subject or section. In new subjects the self-check takes about 15% of the section time, from 20 to 60 minutes.
No. The schedule is rebuilt when you press “Calculate plan” — you see exactly what will change before pressing — and when you yourself change your daily hours or rest days in Settings. One more exception: overdue unfinished tasks are automatically moved to today.
Rebalancing kicks in. Next time you open the app, unfinished tasks move to today (marked “Carried over”), and the rest of the subject is re-spread over the coming days within your daily norm. Your exam date does not move. If you have missed so much that the deadline is no longer reachable, the advisor says so and offers options.
The “Passed” button on the subject card — or the “already passed” checkboxes in the distribution wizard. Its unfinished tasks leave the plan; the grade and date can be added later in the Archive. Everything is reversible: returned it by mistake — press “Passed” again.
The subject’s study tasks are deleted with it. Your own tasks and repeats stay in the plan without a subject — the confirmation window shows how many.
Drag it onto that day in the calendar and confirm. Your rest-day settings stay unchanged — the planner still won’t fill rest days on its own.
Use a repeat for a habit, for example “20 minutes of English every day until March”. Open “Planner” and click “Add Task”. Turn on “Repeat”. Set “From”, “Until”, the minutes and the days of the week. Click “Add”: the task goes on every selected day. A missed day is not moved forward; the next repeat is already in the plan. To change the dates, weekdays, minutes or text of the whole series, open any repeat and click “Edit repeats”. To remove the series, delete any repeat and click “Delete this and later repeats”.
Yes. Open Profile → Settings → “Workload”. Tick “Different hours per weekday”. Set the hours for each study day, for example one hour on weekdays and 4 hours on Saturday. The planner puts no more than that norm on each day, as long as the plan fits before the deadlines. Rest days are set in the same place, under “Rest days”. Untick the box to go back to one norm for all days.
A spare day of the week. Tasks land on it only if the plan doesn’t fit into your regular study days. Open Profile → Settings → “Workload” and tap a weekday: day off → reserve → study day. The order is: regular days within your daily hours first, then the reserve day, and only after that more than your daily hours on regular days.
As many as fit into that day’s hours. One session lasts up to an hour; the “Length of one session” setting changes that. With 2 hours a day you get two sessions. A section’s self-check lands on the day of its last session. If a subject can’t make its deadline, the app first uses the reserve day and only then adds a session above your daily hours — never above the “Daily max” setting.
Usually because this week’s hours are already spread over other days: the week has reached your “Weekly max”. A session lasts up to an hour and isn’t split, so a day with a small norm may not get one. On Today and in the Calendar such a day is marked “Week is full”. To study a little every day, press “30-minute sessions” on Today or change “Length of one session” in Settings. To study more, raise your “Weekly max”.
Add a no-study period in Calendar or in your profile settings. The planner puts no tasks on those days. Deadlines do not move — to spread the tasks across the free days, press “Calculate plan”.
Above 8 hours a day the plan only works on paper — nobody sustains that pace. Sprout Study is built around a sustainable routine: better to move a deadline or trim the scope.
You finished a task today that was scheduled for a later date. That’s how you build a buffer before the deadline.
A percentage is enough: the grade in your system is filled in for you. You can also enter only the grade — it is converted to a percentage. If the grade doesn’t match the percentage, the app shows the usual value and a “Set …” button. The percentage is used for the average.
Yes — all of it, any time, in profile settings. After changing the norm the plan rebuilds itself. If, after lowering it, your subjects no longer fit before their deadlines, some days will go above the norm — the “Some days are longer than your norm” card will say so.
One message in the morning — how many tasks today, how long, and where to start — plus a deadline reminder 7, 3 and 1 day ahead. If you haven’t opened the plan by the afternoon, one gentle follow-up arrives; never more than two messages a day. On each device you need to allow notifications in the browser once — until then an amber bell stays in the header. On Mondays an email with the week’s plan arrives; it can be turned off in your profile.
Yes, @SproutStudyBot. Open Profile → Settings → “Telegram”. Click “Link Telegram”, then “Open the bot and link”, and press Start in Telegram. Ask the bot “what’s today?” or “what’s tomorrow?” — it shows your tasks and deadlines. Type a task, for example “review lecture 5 on Friday”, and it goes straight into your plan. Moving, checking off and deleting tasks happen in the app.
Payments and your subscription, deleting your account, changing your email or password, and uploading a curriculum from a file or photo. Notifications on your device are also yours to turn on. In these cases it gives you a button to the right screen. And it changes nothing without confirmation: it first shows exactly what will happen.
Open the study hours calculator: enter your courses with credits or hours and your exam dates, and it shows how many hours a week and a day you need and whether you’ll make it. No sign-up needed.
Subjects → import → the “Or a link to a course page” field → paste the address and press “Read the page”. The course units become sections of one subject. Course sites rarely state hours — set them yourself. If the site serves no text, upload a screenshot of the page with the list of units.
Profile → Settings → “Programs” → “Add a second program”. A program picker appears when you add or import subjects, the Planner shows a separate queue for each program, and Subjects gets a filter. The day is shared equally between the open subjects of both programs.
On Overview — the “Load in the weeks ahead” card. An amber bar means the week’s plan is above your norm, a red one — above your “Weekly max”: tap it and the app suggests what to do — move a deadline, raise your norm earlier or reduce the subject’s scope.
Usually that means the task is too big or it is unclear where to start. A hint with buttons appears on Today: “Halve it”, “Move to tomorrow”, “Ask the assistant”. You can simply hide it — it only comes back after another postponement.
Profile → Settings → Calendar → “Get link”. Then the “Google” or “Apple / Outlook” button, or copy the address and add it to your calendar as a subscription by URL. Unfinished tasks and deadlines update there on their own. The link can be reset at any time.
It answers “what’s today?” and “what’s tomorrow?”, shows upcoming deadlines and adds tasks from the chat: “finish chapter 3 tomorrow”. Moving deadlines, marking done and deleting happen in the app only. Linking: Profile → Settings → Telegram → “Link Telegram”.
The Today tab does: it opens from the saved copy, check-offs are kept and sync to the cloud when the connection returns. The other tabs wait for a connection so they never show a stale plan.
Yes, 3 days ahead you get an email with the date. A card payment is one-time: it does not renew and there are no repeat charges. The email reminds you that access is ending. You can extend it in the app: Profile → Subscription.
