During lectures, I take notes in different ways depending on the situation: handwritten notes, typed documents, photos of the board, or quick voice notes. Over time, these notes get scattered across multiple apps and folders. When exam time comes, it becomes hard to find all notes related to a single topic. Even when I know I wrote something down, I often don’t remember where or in what format. Existing note-taking apps are powerful but assume a single input method. There is no simple way to unify notes from different sources into one clear, searchable structure per course.

Group chats are widely used by students to share important information such as deadlines, exam details, and resources. However, these chats quickly become cluttered with unrelated messages, making it very difficult to find critical information later. Even when messages are pinned, they often lack context or are forgotten over time. New members joining the group usually have no idea where to start or what is important. There is no structured way to turn these conversations into organized, long-term information that everyone can easily access when needed.

I need a app for tracking my IB DP process including IA's EE and CAS project.

As a student, I use many different platforms at the same time for my courses. Lecture slides are shared via email or Google Drive, assignments are posted on a separate learning management system, deadlines are announced in messaging apps, and additional resources are sometimes shared in group chats. The main problem is that everything is scattered. There is no single place where I can clearly see what materials belong to which course, what is due soon, and what I should focus on next. I currently try to manage this by manually creating folders and reminders, but this quickly becomes outdated and difficult to maintain. Existing tools are either too complex, designed for institutions rather than students, or require a lot of manual setup. I want a clear overview of my academic workload, but there is no simple tool that fits how students actually work today.

As a student, I often try to create study plans at the beginning of a semester or before exams. At first, the plan looks perfect on paper, but as soon as real life happens — unexpected assignments, quizzes, or personal issues — the plan becomes outdated. Most study planners assume a fixed schedule and do not adapt when I fall behind or need to reprioritize topics. Updating the plan manually takes time and effort, so I usually abandon it altogether. What I need is a flexible system that adjusts based on progress, deadlines, and available time, instead of forcing me to constantly redesign my plan from scratch.

In group projects, it is often unclear who is responsible for what and whether tasks are actually completed. Communication usually happens through messaging apps, shared documents, or quick verbal updates, which makes it very easy for important information to get lost. Right now, we rely on messages like “I’ll handle this” or “I finished my part,” but there is no structured way to track progress. If someone joins the project later or misses a discussion, they have no easy way to understand what has already been done. Project management tools exist, but most of them feel too heavy for small student projects and are rarely adopted by the entire group. As a result, coordination becomes stressful and inefficient, especially close to deadlines.
