For universities and schools

Recommending StudyNow

StudyNow is a personal planner for university and school – not an administration tool. Here you find what universities and schools should know before recommending the app to their students or pupils.

What you should know

Four principles that apply to every use.
The data stays on the device
StudyNow has no server for user data. Neither we nor your institution receive what students or pupils enter.
Nothing to set up
No accounts, no user administration, nothing to install on your systems. Whoever downloads the app can start.
No insight for teaching staff
The app has no feature that lets lecturers or teachers see entries. That is intentional and should not happen by other routes either.
An offer, not an obligation
StudyNow is currently available for iPhone and iPad. Recommend it as a help – nobody who doesn’t use it may be disadvantaged.

How to recommend StudyNow

1. Try it yourself
Download the app, choose school or university, then “Try with examples”. The made-up sample data shows every feature without any real data.
2. Provide timetables – if you like
Semester dates, courses or a class timetable as a .studynow file. Students and pupils take them over with a single tap.
3. Spread the word
Through your usual channels: learning platform, first-year information, letter to parents. Point to this website and the user manual.

University or school?

For universities
Student offices provide semester dates, deadlines and courses as a file; lecturers and student councils pass on a whole semester as a template.
For schools
Years 5–10 and upper school: timetable as a school template, calendar file or spreadsheet, classroom routines and everything on data protection.
