Built around how students actually plan.

Smart Tasks is a colorful, aesthetic to do list that students love. I built it as a solo developer, and students are the people I hear from most. So the latest updates started with them.

Already on the study tools list.

Smart Tasks is listed as a study and time-management tool for students by Columbia University and the University of New Hampshire. Not ads. Just study centers recommending what works.

Set the vibe. Then plan in it.

A planner you like looking at is a planner you actually open. Pull colors straight from any photo, a wallpaper, a notebook, a campus sunset, and Smart Tasks suggests the strongest shades it finds. Build a to do list that matches your energy.

Capture colors from any photo or screenshot, and the best shades are suggested for you

Use the color dropper to grab one exact shade, down to the pixel

One color per class. Biology blue, History orange. Your whole week reads at a single look

Your whole day, side by side.

Lectures, assignments, club meetings, work shifts. Calendar events from Apple, Google, and Outlook appear right alongside your tasks, so the day you planned and the day on your schedule are finally the same day.

Events and tasks share one screen, so class schedules and assignments live in one place

One tap opens a lecture link right inside the app

Reads the way you read.

Dynamic text size scales the whole app, text, buttons, and icons, to whatever size you read best. Set it once in your device settings and Smart Tasks follows. A small thing that makes a real difference for accessibility.

End the day on what you finished.

Completed tasks can now stay visible within each day, checked off and right where you finished them. So when the day winds down, you're not staring at what's left. You're looking at everything you got done.

See completed tasks in Next 7 Days, right where you finished them

View them by the day they were completed or the day they were due

Built by one person who listens.

I'm Francesco, and Smart Tasks is my work as a solo developer. I answer every email myself, and many of the features on this page began as requests from students. Some of them mention me by name in their reviews, which makes my day every time. If you have an idea, I'd love to hear it.
