School Assistant by Sun Apps is a simple but powerful school planner app. It allows you to quickly and easily keep track of homework, tests, and your schedule, scan documents, see and save Google Classroom assignments, quickly access saved websites, and more.

First, as a student myself, I fully believe it is wrong to charge students money for trying to succeed in school. So, School Assistant is completely free! No premium subscriptions, no paywalls, and no ads. If you like the app, it would be amazing if you considered donating through the Tip Jar in Settings (this is why the App Store shows that there are In-App Purchases).

Designed for Mac:
School Assistant uses the Mac toolbar, sidebar, Menu Bar, and more for the best Mac experience!

Schoolwork:
- Manage your upcoming assignments and tests
- Sort by due date, class, category, alphabetically, or manually
- Add a related class, due date, submission location and link, and notes
- Schedule reminders
- Highlight upcoming and overdue schoolwork
- Keep an entire archive of your completed schoolwork
- View how many assignments/tests you have right from your Desktop with Widgets

Schedule:
- Keep track of your classes for every day
- Add associated teacher and room information (or, add a link for online classes)
- Automatically switch days based on the day of the week
- Automatically switch between two weeks (great for A/B week schedules)
- Manually switch between up to ten weeks
- See your current class and next class on the Dashboard and with Desktop Widgets

Google Classroom:
- Access to your classes’ assignments is built-in
- View assignment information
- Quickly add to Schoolwork with one tap
- One-tap access to view in the Classroom app

Other features:
- Set a custom theme color
- Full and automatic data syncing over iCloud
- Tight macOS integration with support for features like keyboard shortcuts, system sidebars, the Mac toolbar, Widgets, the Mac Accent Color, and multi-window support
- Support for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple Watch
- Designed with quick and easy usability in mind

What’s New

Version 3.3

I’m thrilled to say that my most-requested feature is finally here: Completed Schoolwork! Now, when you mark a Schoolwork as completed, it will move to Completed Schoolwork. There, you can view a full archive of every Schoolwork you’ve completed (since the update). Want to put something back? It’s just one tap to return it to Schoolwork. But, there’s a lot more than Completed Schoolwork!
- Widgets can now take on the theme color that you set for School Assistant, making them much more colorful and fun!
- iPad and Mac now have keyboard shortcuts, such as ⌘+ to add a new Schoolwork or Schedule Entry
- Set the app’s icon badge to show the number of Schoolwork, Assignments, or Tests remaining
- All-new, custom-made sound effects
- Compiled for the latest software versions

Version 3.3 also includes many bug fixes:
- More Details in Schoolwork will no longer change the entry it’s showing when you edit certain details
- The Class selector can now show multi-line titles
- You can now Complete and Delete a Schoolwork while searching
- Many bug fixes for macOS Sonoma
- On Mac, there is now a refresh button for quick and easy fetching of the latest data

I hope you enjoy School Assistant 3.3! I apologize for how long it’s taken… college is a busy time!

Great app, Extremely useful

I love this app and think its great to use and its very simple and easy to get the hang of. i love all the customizations you can do and its organized very nicely so i dont get confused. Though i love this app and what its been able to help me with, i do have a few complaints that i think would help make the app even better. One issue i found is that when i set a reminder for a certain class, i cant see that reminder until it reminds me. Theres no tab where i can see all the reminders ive set and therfore i often find myself making 3 reminders for the same class on the same date without realizing ive already created a remnder for it. I also wish there was a way to see completed assignments like others have mentioned. Lastly, i wish we could actally see the assignments needed to be competed in the widget for "assignemnts and tests" that way i wouldnt have to click and go into the pap to see what i have to complete. Other than that, This app has been such a lifesaver for me. Excited for more updates and happy to have found it.

Excellent App, But Missing Some Features From Competitiors

I was using myHomework and decided to try School Assistant. My experience with School Assistant for the past few weeks has been great and I haven’t had any problems. I love the look and feel of the app and the lack of ads. But I’m missing some features coming from using myHomework. I wish you didn’t have to input your classes in the Schedule tab separately from the classes in the Schoolwork tab. I miss being able to see when assignments are due by looking at a calendar. I could tap May 20th and see what assignments are due that day. I also think there needs to be a “Completed Assignments” section. While I don’t think it should keep completed assignments forever, there should be some amount of backlog. I also think we should be able to sort assignments by due date/time and by class. I usually have to manually order them to the closest date or time. I think other assignment categories would be helpful. Perhaps for projects and papers. I’d also like to see a widget that combines the Schoolwork Amount and Next Class Widget. I also think other combinations are would be great. Lastly, I’d like to see other integrations besides Google Classroom, like Canvas for instance. Despite all of this, I’m going to continue to use this app over its competitors. Keep up the good work.

Amazing!😘

Best hw schedule app I’ve ever used. And believe me I’ve tried plenty. In others there are annoying ads or subscriptions. But let’s be real for a second. No one can afford to pay a subscription or fee just because the want to be organized paying for those things is a nightmare. But I was literally scrolling through everything and then I was like what the heck might as well try this one. Because the other hw app I was using kept glitching and wouldn’t let me even use it. (It. Was b4 grad) one of the worst apps I’ve ever used don’t get it. But when I tried this app it the worked I literally laughed and then I FaceTimeed my friend and told her all about it. Anyways I’m ranting but love this app so amazing try it and u won’t be disappointed.

If I had one thing i would like the creator to add would be able on Mac or as a browser I know it doesn’t work that way but that would be nice so if you could that’s a suggestion and if it is available already sorry for writing this thanks anyway.
