Add
Up to 10 homework items and reminders at once. Homework is auto-scheduled; reminders get a time.
- “Math 20 minutes due Friday”
- “Biology quiz Monday”
Talking to Studywise
Tap the mic on any main tab. The same mic adds, changes, completes, and deletes — homework, Remind Me items, and extracurriculars. You can mix them in one breath: “Schedule my biology test Friday and delete the maths homework.”
Change
Applies straight away with a few seconds to Undo. Changing a duration or due date re-runs the scheduler so work can’t overrun the next block.
- “Make my history essay 45 minutes”
- “Move my biology homework to Friday”
- “Reschedule my maths homework”
Complete
Marks it done immediately, with Undo. It moves to History rather than vanishing.
- “Mark the Spanish reading as done”
Delete
Always asks first. Nothing is removed from speech alone — you see the item, labelled Task, Reminder, or Activity, with when it sits. Undo after, too.
- “Delete my maths homework”
Practices & events
Weekly activities and one-off events hold their place on the schedule. Moving a start time keeps the session’s length, so 4–6 becomes 5–7.
- “Add football practice every Tuesday from 4 to 6”
- “Dentist Thursday at 3”
- “Move football to 5”
Say how hard and how long
Easy / quick / light vs hard / tough / deep focus sets cognitive load, so harder work is preferred in your peak windows. A stated length is used for planning.
- “Hard history essay due Thursday, about an hour and a half”
If it’s not sure which item you meant, it asks. Saying “delete my homework” when you have several shows the options with their dates rather than guessing. Up to 5 changes per command (creates are capped at 10 items).
The full mixed list of phrases lives in the app under Profile → Voice command examples.
What voice will not do
- During onboarding
- The setup mic is create-only. Change, complete, and delete work afterwards, on the main tabs.
- Your settings
- School hours and homework windows can’t be changed by voice. Those stay in Profile.
- One week only
- A weekly activity can’t skip “just this Tuesday,” and a one-off can’t become weekly. Add a recurring activity under Extracurriculars instead.
- Pinned & revision work
- Tasks you fixed to a time, and revision blocks, aren’t moved automatically. Open them to choose a new time.
- Other people’s times
- Studywise won’t invent a new time for a practice. Say the time you want, or edit it in Profile → Recurring.
After you speak
Studywise doesn’t stack pop-up alerts for every outcome. Results land in one of three places.
Toast
A brief banner confirming what you asked for. Edits, completions, and confirmed deletes carry Undo for a few seconds. Creates aren’t undoable from here.
Confirm sheet
“One thing to check.” Deletes, ambiguous matches, and activity moves that would bump homework wait here. Nothing in that sheet has changed yet.
Change list
At the top of Schedule, naming what the app did on its own: a bump to make room, revision blocks, a task with no time yet, or homework moved for a practice. Dismiss per row or all at once.
How scheduling works
Studywise searches from today through your due date and prefers an earlier day over cramming on the deadline.
School day
Never during school, and a 15-minute break right after the bell is kept free when possible.
Homework windows
Work only lands when you said you can study. Set in Profile → Energy & Schedule.
Extracurriculars
Sports, clubs, appointments. Added in Profile or by voice; homework steers around them.
Peak focus
Optional. Mark your best windows and harder work is preferred there.
Sleep hours
Nothing starts before 6:00 AM or at 9:00 PM or later.
On the due date
For a weekday deadline, only slots before school are used.
When your week is full
The engine can bump an existing task to make room, choosing work that is less urgent — usually a due date further out, and where it makes sense, shorter or easier work. If something still can’t fit, it may be placed outside your homework windows (and say so), or added with no time yet so you can place it in Edit Task. Both show up in the change list on Schedule.
Focus rhythm (Pomodoro-style). About 5 minutes is reserved between back-to-back homework blocks — space to stretch or switch gears, not extra work.
Anything longer than 60 minutes is split into roughly 30-minute parts (“Part 1 of 3”), each scheduled separately, so a big assignment is easier to start.
Tests, exams, and quizzes
Say “Biology test Friday” or “Economics exam Tuesday”, or put test, exam, midterm, or quiz in the title. Studywise builds one revision block per day before the date — up to 5 days for a test, exam, or midterm, and 3 for a quiz. You don’t add each day by hand.
Rescheduling and past-due
Say “Move my biology homework to Friday”, long-press a task on Schedule → Reschedule, or use the wand in Edit Task. When you open the app with overdue items, a catch-up sheet reschedules eligible tasks in one go; pinned and revision items are listed for you to move or mark done yourself.
Remind Me and notifications
Short to-dos like “Pack dance shoes Monday” sit on your schedule without taking a full study block. Add them by voice or from the Remind Me tab. Studywise uses local notifications, which you can control in iOS Settings.
Date only
Bundled into your day rather than fired at one moment. A weekday morning alert about an hour before school lists what’s due that day; the afternoon check-in after school mentions tomorrow’s items.
With a time
You get a heads-up about 30 minutes before, titled with the reminder. If it’s saved with less than 30 minutes to go, that advance alert won’t fire. Completing or deleting cancels it.
Limits
iOS caps how many future notifications an app can hold, so Studywise schedules a set number of timed alerts. If something looks missing, open the app once so it can refresh.
Profile settings
Open the profile icon on the main screen. Each section feeds the scheduler.
- School Day
- School start and end, treated as no-homework time with a short decompression buffer after. Home timezone anchors “today” — check it first if times look a day off.
- Energy & Schedule
- Weekday and weekend homework windows, plus optional peak-energy windows for demanding work.
- Recurring Activities
- Weekly commitments and one-off events. Also addable and movable by voice.
- Subjects
- Created automatically as you add homework. Set a default duration per subject; archive or rename to keep the list tidy.
- History
- Completed homework, completed reminders, and Deleted tasks — restorable for about a week.
- Voice command examples
- The same mixed phrases the app rotates, in one list.
- Account & legal
- Terms and Privacy, sign out, and permanent account deletion.

FAQs
Why did another task move when I added something new?
When there isn’t a free slot, Studywise may reschedule an existing task that has more breathing room (often a due date further away) so your new work can fit. The move appears in the change list at the top of Schedule.
Why isn’t my homework showing where I expected?
The app only schedules inside your homework windows (Profile → Energy & Schedule). If your windows are narrow, expand them, or check that school hours and extracurriculars aren’t blocking the slot. On a weekday due date, only slots before school are used. If the change list says a task has no time yet, open it to place it or make it shorter.
Can I delete something by voice? What if it removes the wrong thing?
Yes, and it’s deliberately hard to get wrong. A voice delete is never applied straight from speech — Studywise shows the item first, labelled Task, Reminder, or Activity with its date, and nothing goes until you tap Delete. If your words match more than one item, it asks which you meant.
After a delete you still get a few seconds to Undo, and deleted tasks stay recoverable for 7 days in Profile → Deleted tasks. Deleted Remind Me items aren’t kept in that restore list. Edits and “mark as done” apply immediately, since they’re easy to reverse.
Does Studywise send my existing homework to the AI?
Only when you ask it to change something. Creating a task sends just what you said. If you ask to edit, complete, or delete an existing item, Studywise also sends a short list of your current tasks, reminders, and extracurriculars — titles or names, subjects, dates or weekdays, and times — so the AI can work out which one you mean.
Your account details are never included, and the AI only sees temporary shorthand labels rather than your items’ real record ids. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
What’s included with Studywise Plus?
Voice, AI scheduling, and automatic rescheduling. Every new account gets a one-month free trial of those. After the trial they need an active subscription. You can always add and edit homework with +, pick a specific time, and manage your schedule by hand.
Can I change when a task is scheduled?
Yes. Say “Move my biology homework to Friday” or “Reschedule my maths homework” — the second asks Studywise to pick a new slot. You can also long-press the task on Schedule and choose Reschedule, or open it and tap the wand in Edit Task. Move practices by voice (“Move football to 5”) or in Profile → Recurring. Pinned tasks and revision blocks stay unless you move them yourself.
How do I add revision blocks for a test, exam, or quiz?
Say or type the due date with “test”, “exam”, “midterm”, or “quiz” (e.g. “Spanish quiz Monday”). Studywise creates one revision block per day before that date automatically.
The voice command didn’t understand me. What do I do?
AI can mishear or misinterpret. Try naming the subject, duration, and due date clearly (e.g. “Math homework 30 minutes due Friday”). You can always add or edit manually with +. You’re responsible for checking that deadlines and times are correct — see our Terms of Service.
Does saying “easy” or “hard” actually do anything?
Yes. The app estimates a cognitive load from what you say, so “really easy math” vs “super hard essay” steers scheduling — especially with peak focus windows set in Profile. It’s not perfect every time, but it’s designed to match how you describe the work.
If I say how long homework will take, does Studywise use that?
Yes. When the voice flow picks up a duration in minutes (or phrasing like “an hour”), that value sizes the task for the planner. If you don’t specify, subject defaults apply.
Where do I set my school hours and study times?
Open Profile → School Day for school start and end, and Energy & Schedule for when you can do homework on weekdays and weekends. Setting these first makes scheduling work best. Voice can’t change these settings.
What happens to my data if I delete my account?
All your data (tasks, schedule, profile) is permanently deleted. See our Privacy Policy for details. You can delete your account in the app: Profile → Account → Delete my account.
