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, see and save Google Classroom assignments, quickly access saved websites, and more.
First, as a student myself, I know how hard it can be to pay for these types of apps. So, School Assistant is 100% free: no subscriptions, no paywalls, no premium features, and no ads! There is a tip jar if you feel like supporting, though (these are the in-app purchases the App Store shows).
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, links, 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 Home Screen / 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 Home Screen / Desktop Widgets
Classes:
- In addition to Schoolwork and Schedule, you can manage your classes with a dedicated feature
- Store your teacher’s name and email
- Store notes for each class
- Assign an icon to each class, which also shows in Schoolwork
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
- Note: the Google Classroom feature does not affect any other part of the app. You do not need to have a Google Classroom account to use this app. Other third-party integrations are not currently supported.
Other features:
- Set a custom accent color
- Theme the entire app with a color of your choosing
- 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, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro
- Designed with quick and easy usability in mind

Ratings and Reviews
Super App
I love it, i think is veyr thoughtful, has a nice clean user interface as well as ahving great functionality to enhance the productivity of the time of students such as myself. One suggestion would be to add a classes tab and rather than adding all the details for the subject each time you add it to your schedule, you will only need to do it once in the classes tab and you can just add that class straight into your schedule by selecting the class automatically filling out the details for you. That's just a suggestion, but the app is very good.
Simple. Works really well for me!!
Really good, Simple to use app.
Love that I can put in my schedule, I also use the assignments section to put in my homework so I know what I need to do for different subjects and when it’s due in.
If you’re looking for something that is simple, works well and is most importantly FREE with no ads or the need to ‘upgrade to the full version’ then this is definitely the one for you.
Best school planner I’ve come across.
Amazing (but I have a suggestion)
I love this app and I am using it to try help keep me on track with online learning because I get distracted too much with the widgets to tell me when my class is on my Home Screen let me actually turn up to lessons without forgetting them and the assignments feature is so quick and easy to use but it would be great if it worked with an Apple Watch as schools don’t allow phones on site but great while doing online school
