For students
A free sticky-note board for your assignments
Every new tab you open between study sessions becomes your assignment board. Drag "essay draft" from to do to doing to done. No setup, no subscription.
Why it fits student life
- It is on your new tab. You see your deadlines every time you open the browser to "just check one thing".
- One board per class, or one for the term. To do, doing, done. That is the whole system.
- Visual, not a spreadsheet. Colour notes by subject, add a checklist for the steps of a project, or sketch a quick diagram right on a note.
- Free. Actually free, not a student trial that starts charging in month four.
- Share with a study group. Invite classmates to a board by email and everyone sees changes live.
A simple setup that works
| Column | What goes there |
|---|---|
| To do | Every assignment, reading and exam you know about, with the due date in the note |
| Doing | Only what you are working on this week. Keep it short. |
| Done | Submitted. Finished notes tidy themselves away into history after a while, so the column never piles up. |
Exam season tip: make one note per topic you need to revise, and add a checklist inside it (read notes, do past paper, flashcards). Moving the note to done is a small, real win.
