To finish with an A− you need 96% on what is left.

What do you need on the final?

Weights in once, marks ticked off as they come back. Change a mark and the sentence changes with it. The lowest problem set is dropped, as the course drops it.

Anything that is arithmetic over what is already on the page is answered at once, offline. Anything that is not, the planner offers to ask Claude.

Asked against the example semester in the demo.

This week, by course.

Seven days, every course at once, with what you are actually meant to do next at the top of it.

This week in Madison: overdue first, then each course with its items and their days
  • Today is always today

    The page moves on at midnight by itself, in your timezone. Overdue means the time has actually passed.

  • Type the date into the title

    “Lab report 2 thu 5pm” fills in the day and the hour. Shift+Enter saves and starts the next one.

  • Drag to another day

    Pick a row up and drop it where it now belongs. Or press a bracket to flip the week.

The whole semester, as one strip.

Fifteen weeks, a lane per course, one line for today. Exams are drawn hollow so you see them coming.

  • Exams read first

    A hollow ring outranks everything beside it on the strip. You should see one coming for weeks.

  • A line for today

    Across every lane at once, so the shape of the next month is one glance.

  • Click a week, open it

    Any week number on the strip opens that week in the calendar, every course at once.

Timeline
The semester timeline: a lane for each course across fifteen weeks, with today marked

What do you need on the final?

Put the weights in once, tick the marks off as they come back, and the number you actually want is on the page — not in a spreadsheet you meant to make.

  • It counts what is in

    Unmarked work is not treated as zero, so the figure in week four is the truth about week four, not a scare.

  • It says how much is in

    “Only 17% of the grade is in yet” is a different sentence from “you need 91%”, and it is the one that helps.

  • It drops what the course drops

    Lowest quiz dropped, best three of four — the rules the syllabus set, applied without arithmetic.

Progress
Progress: the running grade per course, how much of it is in, and whether it is on track

And the rest of it.

Everything below is in the demo, unlocked, without an account.

The week planned: eleven sessions across four days, and the reasoning

Plan the week

Fixed things first — practice, work, games — then study sessions around them, with a sentence saying why it chose what it chose.

Grades: the running grade per course and how much of it is in

What you need on the final

Weights in once, marks ticked off as they come back. It counts what is in, says how much is in, and drops what the course drops.

Everything is a key away

One bar for every command: new item, add a syllabus, grades, export, and a question for Madison when none of those fit.

Focus: drop notes, slides or a chapter, and Madison reads it

Focus on one thing

Drop notes, slides or a chapter and Madison says what to study, in what order, for how long. Then it keeps the time.

A reminder the evening before

Each item can tell you about itself before it is due, at the hour you choose, on the device you are holding.

Review: three of four got done, one slipped, and what is coming

The Sunday review

The week just gone and the one coming, written as sentences: what got done, what slipped, and the exams in the next fortnight.

Leaves when you want it to

A live calendar feed for Google, Apple or Outlook, a JSON backup of everything, or the printed page. What you put in comes back out.

Semesters that look like yours.

Six shapes of a term, each one something the planner actually draws.

  • Exam season

    Four courses, three midterms in nine days. The strip shows the pile-up weeks before it lands.

  • A thesis semester

    One long project across fifteen weeks, drawn haloed so the day is not mistaken for the work.

  • Working while studying

    Shifts and practice go in as fixed, and the planner fits the studying around them.

  • A reading-heavy term

    Forty readings drawn small on purpose, so the exams still read first.

  • A lab course

    Reports with a time on them, a quiz every fortnight, the lowest one dropped as the syllabus says.

  • A group project

    One page you can hand a teammate, with the whole course on it and nothing else.

Before you start.

Anything not here, write to us. There is an address in the footer and a person reads it.

What can I drop in?

PDF, Word (.docx), OpenDocument (.odt), plain text, Markdown, CSV or HTML — or just paste. The text is pulled out on your device. Scanned PDFs with no text layer are not readable yet.

Who reads it?

Claude reads the text and returns exact names and resolved dates. Only the text you drop in is sent, and only to be read; nothing about it is kept. If the reader is unavailable a rules-based one runs on your device instead, and the review step says which one ran.

What if it misses something?

You review before anything is saved: fix a title, change a date, untick a guess. Anything it misses takes a few keystrokes with N, and the title field understands “Lab report 2 thu 5pm”.

Do I need an account?

A free one. Sign up with an email and a password and your plan is kept in your account, so it is there on your laptop, your phone and anywhere else you log in.

Where does my data go?

Into your account, and nowhere else. It is stored under your own login and shown only to you. Export a JSON backup any time, or a calendar file (.ics) to see the dates in Google, Apple or Outlook.

What does it cost right now?

Nothing. Madison is free while it is being built, and this copy cannot take a card even if you wanted it to. The prices on the pricing page are what it will cost when it is finished.
