Your essay isn’t due Friday. It’s due Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Studio takes every deadline on your syllabus and decides which days you actually do the work. Then it shows you only today’s share.
One 2-hour essay, due Friday. Studio puts 45 minutes on Tuesday, 45 on Wednesday and 30 on Thursday — so Friday is a hand-in, not an all-nighter.
Coming to the App Store. iOS 17 and later.
A deadline list tells you when it’s too late.
Write everything down and you get an honest picture of a week where four things land on the same afternoon. That picture is accurate and useless — it tells you what’s coming, not what to do tonight. So the list grows, and the work still happens the evening before.
What changes an outcome is much smaller and much more boring: deciding in advance that a particular piece of a particular assignment happens on a particular day. That decision is the whole product.
You add the deadline. Studio fills in the days before it.
Two things to set up, then it runs on its own.
Add your classes
Type them in, or photograph the timetable your school handed you and let Studio read it into classes and assignments.
Add what’s due
A title and a due date is enough. An essay, a problem set, a reading, an exam.
Open it and do today’s share
Studio has already decided what belongs to today. Miss a day and the work resurfaces instead of quietly disappearing.
Three classes, two deadlines, one week. Nothing here was typed in by hand — you gave Studio the due dates and it decided the rest.
How early is up to you.
One setting changes how the scheduler thinks — the difference between a plan you argue with and one you follow.
- Relaxed
- Schedules later and accepts a denser day when it arrives. For people who genuinely do work better with the deadline in sight.
- Balanced
- Sits in the middle of the window. The default, and the one most people should leave it on.
- Strict
- Starts as early as it can and keeps every day light. More days doing a little, no day doing everything.
It can take the other apps away while you work.
Pick the apps you can’t be trusted with and start a session. Until it ends, opening one of them gets a Studio screen instead of a feed. It runs on Apple’s Screen Time framework, so the block is real and the list of apps you chose never leaves your phone — not even to us.
Worth saying plainly: this is a self-control aid, not a parental control. Whoever holds the phone can end a session. It removes the reflex, not the option.

Photograph your timetable instead of typing it.
Point your camera at the schedule you were given. Studio reads it and turns it into real classes and assignments, which beats twenty minutes of typing in the first week of term.
Also worth saying plainly: text recognition makes mistakes. Studio shows you everything it found and waits for you to approve it. Treat the result as a first draft, and check the dates.

Pro will be a subscription or a one-time purchase. Prices are set at launch — join the waitlist and you’ll hear when they are.
Questions you’d reasonably have.
When does it launch?
There isn’t a date, and we’d rather not invent one. Studio is in testing now. The waitlist exists so you hear about it the day it ships.
Is it actually free, or free for two weeks?
Actually free. Three classes, unlimited assignments in them, and the entire scheduler — no trial clock, no card. For a lot of students that is the whole app.
Does Focus Mode really block apps?
Yes, through Apple’s Screen Time framework — opening a blocked app during a session gets a Studio screen. But it’s a self-control aid, not a parental control: whoever holds the phone can end a session.
Can you see which apps I block?
No. That selection is handled entirely by Apple’s framework and stays on your device. We never receive it, and we can’t see how you use any other app.
How accurate is reading my timetable from a photo?
Good enough to save you a lot of typing, not good enough to trust blindly. Studio shows you everything it extracted and waits for your approval before importing. Check the dates.
What happens to my schoolwork?
It’s stored against your account so it syncs across your devices, and it’s yours. You can delete individual items, wipe classes and assignments in bulk, or delete the whole account from Settings. We don’t sell data and we don’t use it for advertising.
Which devices does it need?
iPhone running iOS 17 or later. There’s no iPad layout or Mac app yet, and no Android version planned.
What do you do with my email if I join the waitlist?
Send you one message, when Studio launches. It isn’t a newsletter, it isn’t shared or sold, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
Start the term already ahead of it.
One email, the day Studio reaches the App Store. Nothing else.
