myHomework Student Planner

Overview

myHomework Student Planner is a digital organizer for students keeping track of assignments, tests, projects, classes and deadlines. Its flexible class schedules and broad device support suit students who want one planner across schoolwork and devices. The free tier covers core planning, while imports, attachments and sharing require Premium.

Key features

Students can set up time-based, period-based or block-based class schedules, so the planner can accommodate different school timetables. On iPhone, assignment and class calendars can be viewed by month, week or day. Assignment tracking, due-date reminders, device sync and upcoming-homework widgets make Basic a usable day-to-day planner without a subscription.

Teachers.io classes can provide a syllabus, schedule, attachments and announcements. Homework can also be imported from Canvas, D2L, Google Classroom, Blackboard, Schoology and other systems. Premium can automatically update assignments after an import, reducing manual upkeep for students whose schools use supported systems. Premium also enables file attachments, external calendar access, and sharing homework with a classmate or inviting a coach to view the planner.

The company offers an API for bringing homework from other systems into an account, with use arranged by contacting it. Apps can be used as planners without a network connection. For help, users can email the company, which says it will respond as soon as possible.

Pricing

myHomework Basic: free. It includes assignment, project and test tracking, classes, due-date reminders, device sync and upcoming-homework widgets. Ads are the trade-off, and Basic does not include Premium’s themes, file attachments, enhanced widgets, external calendar access, sharing or homework imports. It is the sensible starting point for students who mainly need a planner and do not rely on those extras.

myHomework Premium: $4.99 a year. It removes ads, adds all themes and enhanced widgets, and unlocks attachments, external calendar access, sharing and homework imports, alongside Basic features. Students who want to bring assignments in from school systems or share a planner will get the clearest benefit; those content with manual tracking can stay on Basic.

Schools, districts and universities can request organization pricing, which depends on service level and implementation needs. The company asks interested organizations to contact it.

Platforms

myHomework is available on the web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and as a Chrome extension. That range supports students who move between computers and mobile devices; the iPhone app specifically offers month, week and day calendar views.

Who it's for

It is best suited to students who want assignments and class schedules together, particularly those who can use Teachers.io or import work from a school platform. Students who need only reminders and device sync can use the ad-supported free plan. The privacy policy sets 13 as the minimum age to create an account; younger students may use the app with parent or guardian help and approval.

The company says it has focused on digital planning skills for students and schools since 2009. Its posted privacy policy says website sign-in and app synchronization use HTTPS and account passwords are stored encrypted in its databases; the policy was last changed on May 14, 2018.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Multiple schedule formats and calendar views make it adaptable to different timetables and planning habits.
• Pros: Imports from major classroom systems, plus Premium automatic updates, can cut down on re-entering assignments.
• Pros: Offline planner use and support across six platform types make it practical for students switching devices or working without a network connection.
• Cons: Basic includes ads and reserves imports, attachments, sharing and external calendar access for Premium.
• Cons: Account creation is restricted to users aged 13 and older unless younger students have parent or guardian help and approval.

Alternatives

Study Planner Apps is the broader category guide for comparing options.

• Power Planner is worth comparing for students who prefer semester-based limits: its free plan allows one semester, five grades per class, one repeating bulk task or event entry, and one photo attachment per item.
• Adapt is an alternative study planner with limited revision content and practice questions on its free tier, which also shows ads.
• Fasti may suit students whose planning needs fit within its free allowance of up to 30 events and recurring blocks, with two starter schedule imports.
• MyStudyLife is another free planner option, with its free plan capped at five tasks at a time.
• Save My Exams is another freemium option.
• Helium is a free, open-source alternative with code publicly available on GitHub.
• Altitask is another freemium option, available on the web and as an extension.
• MyStudyPlanner is a web-based alternative whose free plan includes a calendar and timetable, tasks and assessments, study planning and a timer, plus Google Calendar import.

Verdict

Choose myHomework if you want a cross-platform student planner that combines class schedules with assignment tracking and can pull in schoolwork. Its free plan is a credible fit for basic organization, but ads and the Premium gate on imports and sharing are the main reasons to pay—or to look elsewhere if those tools are essential and you want to avoid a subscription.
