Two planners built around students

Simplyr vs MyStudyLife: which student planner fits you?

Simplyr brings the active college semester into one connected workspace: courses, assignments, exams, grades, GPA planning, attendance, notes, private files, study tools, and supported Canvas data. MyStudyLife is centered more narrowly on student timetables, reminders, and selected planning features.

Why students choose Simplyr

Keep the work beside the plan.

Simplyr extends beyond timetable and deadline management into the materials and decisions around a course: grade projections, course-linked notes, PDFs, audio notes, focus sessions, flashcards, citations, outlines, and calculators.

  • Notes, files, study tools, and grades in the same workspace
  • What-if grades and GPA tools
  • Supported Canvas information beside personal planning
A narrower planning focus

MyStudyLife emphasizes timetables and reminders.

MyStudyLife includes rotating timetable support, its Scout AI study coach, and optional family visibility. Simplyr’s advantage is keeping the broader academic workflow—from course information and deadlines to grades, notes, files, attendance, and study sessions—in one student workspace.

  • Rotating and block timetable support
  • Scout AI study coach
  • Family Connect for parent visibility

Why choose Simplyr over a basic student planner?

Simplyr does more than track a timetable and deadlines. It connects the working parts of college—grades, GPA projections, attendance, course notes, private files, study sessions, academic tools, and supported Canvas information—to the same courses and planner.

Bring in course materials gradually.

Attach notes, PDFs, audio, flashcards, and study sessions as each class becomes active.
