Helium vs majored

Helium is a free planner for organizing classes, homework, grades, notes, and academic workload. Its grade tools calculate results in real time, let students test hypothetical scores, and estimate what is needed on a final to reach a target grade. Scheduling offers Month, Week, 3-Day, Day, and Agenda views with color coding, filters, search, and drag-and-drop. Push notifications on iOS, Android, and web, or email reminders, can cover assignments, classes, exams, and events. Helium supports two-way syncing with Google, Apple, other calendars, and iCal sources. Notes can include headings, lists, quotes, links, and search, and can connect to classes or assignments. The open-source service provides a public REST API for actions available in its apps, though it does not maintain official tooling or pre-built integrations. Users can access, export, or delete their data, and full schedules can be exported as JSON. Data is stored and processed on servers in the United States. Helium says it suits middle school, high school, college, university, graduate school, and homeschool students.

Majored is a study planner for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that combines courses, schedules, deadlines, exams, and focus sessions. It shows semester progress, today's events, and upcoming work across courses. Lectures, tutorials, and personal blocks appear together in the schedule. Projects and exams are sorted by urgency, exam topics by due date, and Pomodoro sessions by course. The Mac app adds a sidebar, sortable tables, an inspector for projects and exams, plus search and filters in the toolbar. The app is free for up to four courses, with other features described as free. Majored Pro costs $2.99 a month for unlimited courses. Majored Pro (Lifetime) costs $49, paid once, with unlimited access that never renews or expires. The maker says there is no server, account, signup, or advertising, and data stays between the user's devices and Apple. The App Store says the developer indicates that the app does not collect data.
