Class notes end up scattered across too many apps and formats
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.
Important information in student group chats gets lost too easily
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.
No simple way to organize course materials across multiple platforms
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 I currently try to manage this by manually creating folders and reminders, but this quickly becomes outdated and difficult to maintain.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.
Keeping track of internship and job applications is unnecessarily difficult
As a student, I apply to many internships, part-time jobs, and programs over time. Each application has different deadlines, requirements, and follow-up steps. After sending applications, it becomes hard to remember where I applied, when I applied, and whether I received a response. I currently try to manage this with notes or spreadsheets, but they require constant updates and provide no reminders or clear status tracking. It is easy to forget to follow up or miss important emails. Most existing tools are designed for recruiters or full-time professionals, not students who apply occasionally and need a lightweight way to stay organized.
