Fasti is an AI student planner for organizing classes, shifts, study time, deadlines, commutes, shared plans, and money. It can convert screenshots, photos, PDFs, and pasted text into editable calendar events for courses, assignments, exams, and shifts. Its Planner takes natural-language requests and proposes calendar changes that users can review, approve, reject, or undo. Money tools connect shifts, pay cycles, income, expenses, and goals to forecast take-home pay and upcoming costs. Users can share selected events, courses, categories, import groups, or date ranges; proposed edits require acceptance. The browser app works without an account or download, while signing in enables cloud sync. Optional two-way calendar sync reads or writes synced events on the device. Schedules stay on-device by default, but imported images and text are processed through the maker’s server and Google Cloud Vertex AI before files are discarded. The free plan allows up to 30 events and recurring blocks; Plus costs C$6.99 a month and Pro costs C$13.99 a month.
