Simplyr is a college planner and student workspace for managing courses, assignments, exams, grades, notes, files, and study schedules. Its planner offers day, week, and month views alongside tasks, events, reminders, habits, course schedules, and attendance check-ins. Study features include Pomodoro and break timers, flashcards, exam preparation, confidence ratings, review notes, and progress tracking. Students can record course grades, semester and overall GPA, missing assignments, and attendance, and model what-if grades. The workspace includes course-linked notebooks, journals, documents, whiteboards, sticky notes, image support, PDF export, and uploaded course PDFs. Canvas imports available course and assignment data when school permissions allow; calendars can be imported and exported through iCal. Simplyr runs on web, iOS, and Android, and offers a free plan.

Simplyr complements school systems rather than replacing them; Canvas remains the official place for submissions, announcements, communication, and academic records.
