Main capabilities

• Attach files to tasks so resources and submissions are stored with the assignment.
• Define smart criteria to filter and group items automatically for quicker focus.
• Let the app compute grades for you using built-in automatic scoring.
• Sync updates while you move between devices — includes support for MobileMe-style syncing.
• Tailor the interface and behavior to match how you study with flexible customization options.

How it helps and its limits

Schoolhouse is particularly useful as a progress tracker: it keeps a clear log of finished work and gives satisfying summaries of accomplishments. However, it does not replace personal task-management habits. The app won’t automatically decide your priorities for you — you still need to apply a system for scheduling and prioritizing tasks.

Recent updates
