Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 35 of the 69 other daily planner apps we grade
MyStudyLife is a planner built around the academic year. Students enter their class timetable, including rotating and block schedules, then track homework, exams and grades against it, with reminders before classes and deadlines. The core planner is free on the web, iPhone and Android. The MSL+ subscription lifts the cap on tasks and adds unlimited use of Scout, the built-in AI study coach, and a separate Family Connect plan gives parents a linked view.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about MyStudyLife, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and there's a term's worth of setting up first: classes, rotation pattern, term and holiday dates.
- 1
Best for students with a rotating or block timetable
The timetable side is free on web, iPhone and Android.
- 2
Paid plans start at $3.33 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $6.99 per month, or $39.99 per year.
- 3
There is a free plan
Free with no time limit: timetable, calendar, exams, subjects and reminders on web, iPhone and Android, with up to 5 tasks at a time and one AI timetable scan.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Class timetable
Handles weekly, rotating, week A/B, block and custom schedules, with term and holiday dates. Classes pause during holidays so no reminders are sent for them.
- 6
Homework and task tracking
Tasks carry a due date and a reminder, and progress can be logged as partly complete. Subtasks, repeating tasks and the full set of task types are MSL+ features.
- 7
Exams and grades
Exams are stored with date, time, room and seat and shown with countdowns. Revision tasks can be tied to an exam, and grades are logged as results come in.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 35 of 69
That is against the other daily planner apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
The plain part of MyStudyLife you could make: tasks, calendar and Pomodoro timer. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for students with a rotating or block timetable
MyStudyLife is a student planner built around the school timetable, rotating weeks and all, with homework, exams and grades tracked against it. The timetable side is free on web, iPhone and Android. But the free plan holds only 5 tasks at a time. Subtasks, repeats and Calendar Sync need MSL+ at $39.99 a year, and there's no Mac or Windows app.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | MSL+ is $39.99 a year, about $3.33 a month, which lands in the cheaper quarter of this category where the middle is $5.99. Monthly is $6.99. Those are US App Store prices, and the listing there says they may vary by region. |
| Free plan and trial | C | The timetable, calendar, exams with countdowns, subjects and reminders are free with no time limit. But 5 tasks at a time is a cap any student hits in a week, and Scout stops after one timetable scan and a few chats. |
| Features | B | It covers the student job: weekly, rotating, A/B and block timetables that pause for holidays, homework with reminders and part-done progress, exams with room and seat, grades, a Pomodoro timer, and an AI coach that builds your timetable from a photo and drafts revision plans. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and there's a term's worth of setting up first: classes, rotation pattern, term and holiday dates. Scout can build the timetable from a photo, but the free plan gets one scan. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Google, Apple and Outlook calendars plus Canvas and Blackboard. No separate Mac or Windows app, no API on record, and Calendar Sync is an MSL+ feature, so free accounts connect to nothing. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who MyStudyLife is for
- Fits if your school runs a rotating, A/B or block timetable
- Works for students who want homework, exams and grades in one app
Who it is not for
- Tight if you're staying free, because it holds only 5 tasks at a time and Scout stops after one scan
- Watch out: subtasks, repeating tasks, Calendar Sync and Activities all need MSL+ at $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year
- Skip it if you want a Mac or Windows app, as there's only web, iPhone and Android
- Pricey if you're a parent of several, with Family Connect at $19.99 a month for 3 to 5 students
- Watch out: the prices come from the US App Store and may vary by region, and MyStudyLife's own MSL+ page lists none

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of MyStudyLife you could make: tasks, calendar and Pomodoro timer. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $39.99 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, calendar and Pomodoro timer: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. MyStudyLife’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
