Study Scheduler

Know what to study today. Trust that you will be ready. Study Scheduler turns your semester into a rhythm you can keep. You set up courses once. Each day you open one place that shows what to learn, what to review, and what is due. It stays simple while you move toward mastery.

In collaboration with Matty from Koi. Designed for real students.

Traditional studying treats learning like a one-time transaction. You encounter material in class, review it once or twice, then hope it shows up when you need it. This approach has a fatal flaw: it ignores how memory actually works.

Study Scheduler is a focused space in Tana for courses, lectures, assignments, and exams. A schedule for planning. A review feed that helps you decide what needs another pass. Topic pages that hold your notes, links, and quick lecture recordings with automatic summaries. Course dashboards that mirror the main one, so you can zoom in without losing the big picture.

The mastery-based study system

The Study Scheduler operates on progressive mastery: every topic gets classified by how well you understand it, and the system surfaces what needs attention based on your actual knowledge gaps, not just what's newest or most urgent.

Here's how it transforms your study routine: topics you're uncertain about appear first for review, material you've mastered gets lighter maintenance, and nothing falls through the cracks. You always know exactly where you stand with each concept.

Map your domains and topics

Start by adding your courses in the main dashboard. Each one becomes a #domain with fields for professor, course code, and status. Plus email and website for quick lookups.

Click into any course and you'll see the overview with tabs for topics, review, assignments, and exams. This structure allows everything to flow where it belongs.

Create a #topic for anything you learn or deliver. Each topic has a Type field set to lecture, assignment, or exam. Add a topic from the dashboard and the type is set for you. Or add a topic anywhere in Tana and tag it #topic, then set its domain. Either way, it flows to the right views automatically.

A schedule you can trust

The schedule view pulls everything across domains into one calendar. Switch between day, week, or month to plan your load. Move a date once and it updates everywhere. You see what matters now, what is coming next, and how to pace your week.

The schedule has three views, day/week/month, that you can switch between. It shows all your lectures, assignments and exams across domains.

You can simply drag and drop any topic into the calendar and adjust date and time. A perfect setup to stay ahead on time and commitments.

Notes that compound

Each topic page is where learning sticks. Press the 🎙️ microphone button to start lecture transcription (Tana automatically summarizes). Capture own thoughts as short bullets during class. Type @ any time to link concepts across domains so ideas reinforce each other. When exams approach, your graph is ready. You are not hunting for context. You are building on it.

Let AI transcribe your lectures so you can stay focused and engaged. When something catches your interest, or when you spot a connection, note it down!

Your topics feed the schedule, the review page, and the assignment and exam views. One capture, many surfaces. No duplication. No table wrangling.

Review that turns exposure into mastery

This is the heart of your study system. Every #topic lives in one of four stages:

  • not defined → material you have not seen or started to review
  • rookie → material that you have studied but not mastered
  • ranger → material that you have studied and mastered
  • retire → material that will not be tested or is not needed
Open a course and review the specific topics that relates to it.

You review, then set the mastery stage by feel. The Last reviewed field updates automatically. The feed sorts by oldest first within each stage, so you clear what is most at risk before it fades. Mot defined needs to be picked up. Rookie gets more reps. Ranger gets light maintenance. Retired is out of scope.

During study sessions, open the review page, start at the top of each group. Move topics forward when they feel solid. Nothing slips. You always know where you stand.
