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.

Creating a realistic study plan that actually adapts over time is very difficult

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on paper, but as soon as real life happens — unexpected assignments, quizzes, or personal issues — the plan becomes outdated.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.
