An intelligent planner app for students who want smarter time management.
StudySmart is an interactive mobile planner designed to help students organize their academic and personal schedules more efficiently.
Unlike standard planners that simply record events, StudySmart analyzes user inputs such as: classes, work hours, and assignments to automatically generate adaptive study plans and reminders that fit each user’s real-life routine.

We created Study Smart because many students struggle to balance school, work, and life.
Most planner apps require manual input and don’t adapt to changes, making time management stressful.
StudySmart provides:
- Personalized, auto-generated study plans.
- Schedule conflict prevention and smart updates.
- Secure user profiles that save progress across devices.
- Task and priority management all in one place.

We followed Agile principles through Feature-Driven Development (FDD) and SCRUM:
- FDD: Defined and refined features based on user needs
- SCRUM: 2-week sprints with team check-ins and end-sprint reviews
- User Stories: Guided feature creation from the user’s perspective
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a rigid plan
The MVP delivers the core Study Smart experience:
- Schedule Integration
- Profile/Login System
- Priority Task Management
- Task Reminders
