School Planner: Student Agenda is a free Android student planner that keeps a rotating timetable, homework, exams and grades in one offline app, with no account and no ads. It supports A/B weeks, 1–4-week cycles and Day 1 to Day 8 rotations, and exports everything as JSON, CSV or ICS.
Disclosure: AppStoryo is operated by the studio that develops School Planner: Student Agenda. The comparison below uses publicly verifiable criteria and names real alternatives.
It replaces four habits with one screen: a timetable of lessons and rooms, a homework list with due times, an exam list with countdowns, and a grade book that averages marks. The Play listing files it under Education with an Everyone content rating, shows no in-app purchases and no advertising, and was last updated on 18 September 2026.
Where the data lives matters more than the feature list. Google Play requires developers to declare collection and sharing in a Data safety section, and the declaration published for this app states that no data is collected and none is shared with third parties. There is no sign-in screen because there is no server, as the School Planner: Student Agenda listing shows under Data safety.
This feature decides whether a planner is usable at all, and most to-do apps cannot express it. A rotating schedule means Tuesday is not always the same Tuesday: a two-week A/B cycle alternates, a four-week cycle repeats monthly, and a Day 1 to Day 8 rotation advances only on school days, so a snow day shifts it instead of breaking it.
You enter the pattern once: cycle length, the week or day the term starts on, and the holiday dates. After that the Today screen shows the right lessons for the right rotation day. The scale explains why this is worth building properly: of the 49.6 million students in US public elementary and secondary schools in autumn 2022, 15.5 million were in grades 9 to 12, the band where block and rotating timetables are most common.
Homework entries take a subject, a due date and time, a priority and an optional checklist, and clear with a swipe. Exams generate a countdown, reminders some days ahead and a one-tap action that creates a matching study task. Grades are the deepest of the three: weighted averages, categories such as tests and homework, and marks as percentages, points, letters with GPA, or a 1 to 5 scale.
Two calculators sit on top. A what-if simulator shows the average moving before the test happens; a target-grade calculator runs it backwards, naming the mark the next test must reach. Those are the reason to open the School Planner: Student Agenda listing if grade tracking is why you want a planner.
Reminders on recent Android releases are not a free-for-all, and that shapes what any planner can promise. Google documents that an app targeting Android 12 (API level 31) or higher must declare an Alarms and reminders permission for an exact alarm, that from Android 13 (API level 33) either SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM or USE_EXACT_ALARM may be declared, and that an inexact alarm can arrive within one hour of the requested time, with 10 minutes the smallest window the system accepts.
So a deadline reminder is only as punctual as the permission behind it: check the Alarms and reminders toggle in Android settings if one arrives late. Widgets are the other half. Android's app widget documentation describes that surface, and the planner ships a next-lesson widget and a today's-agenda widget for the home and lock screens.
The published Play release notes describe the first version plainly:
School Planner's first release — a free, offline student agenda.
That is from the listing's What's new section, not an interview, and should be read literally: this is a version one.
Yes, in three documented formats, which matters more for an offline app than a cloud one: if the data never leaves the phone, the export is the only backup. A full backup writes JSON, specified in RFC 8259 of December 2017. Grades write CSV, from RFC 4180 of October 2005, which opens in any spreadsheet. The timetable writes ICS, the iCalendar format of RFC 5545, September 2009, so lessons push into Google Calendar or Outlook.
Three open formats with public specifications answer the question every offline app invites: what happens when I change phones.
There is no iPhone or iPad version, so on iOS it is not an option at all. It also has no sync, by design: the decision that produces the empty Data safety declaration means a phone and a tablet keep separate copies, and a lost phone without an export is a lost term.
It does not connect to a school portal either. If your grades already live in PowerSchool, Google Classroom or a national gradebook, this app will not read them, and typing marks twice is a real cost. It is also new: a 0+ download band and no user ratings, so there is no crowd verdict. An app with 194,000 reviews has been tested in ways a first release has not.
Yes. The Google Play listing shows no in-app purchases and no advertising, and the description states there are no subscriptions and no paywalls. Everything in this review, including the grade simulator, the widgets and all three export formats, is in the single free download.
Yes, that is the design. There is no account and no sign-in, and the Data safety declaration states that no data is collected and none is shared. One consequence to plan for: because nothing is uploaded, nothing is restored automatically, so take a JSON backup each term.
No. It is published on Google Play only and does not appear in the developer's App Store catalogue, so there is no iOS build to link to. If you need an iPhone planner, two of the three alternatives compared above publish on both platforms, and that is the reason to pick one instead.
Cycles of one to four weeks are supported, covering A/B alternation and the four-week patterns some schools use, plus Day 1 to Day 8 rotations that advance only on school days. Holidays are skipped once entered, so a closure shifts the rotation forward rather than breaking it.
Yes. The target-grade calculator takes the grade you want and the weights already recorded, then reports the mark the next assessment must reach. The what-if simulator does the opposite: enter a hypothetical result and watch the average move, which helps before deciding how much to revise.
Percentages, raw points, letter grades with GPA, and the 1 to 5 scale used across much of continental Europe. Marks split into weighted categories, so a 40 percent test weighting and a 10 percent homework weighting give a correctly weighted average rather than a flat mean.
That depends on an Android permission more than on the app. Google documents that apps targeting Android 12 or higher need an Alarms and reminders permission for exact alarms, and that inexact alarms can land up to an hour late. If reminders drift, grant that permission in settings.
Yes, through the ICS export. ICS is the iCalendar format defined by RFC 5545, which Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook all import, so lessons appear as ordinary events. The export is a snapshot, not a live feed: change the timetable and you export again.
Only for a specific reason: a rotation the other app cannot express, or a refusal to keep school data on someone else's server. If sync across devices matters more, or you want a verdict from a large user base, the established apps compared above are safer today.
If an offline agenda that understands A/B weeks is what you wanted, School Planner: Student Agenda is free on Google Play; take a JSON backup once the timetable is in.
An offline Android student agenda that puts a rotating timetable, homework, exams and weighted grades on one screen, with no account and nothing uploaded. The rotation engine is the reason to choose it: A/B weeks, cycles of one to four weeks and Day 1 to Day 8 sequences that skip holidays, entered once. Grades go further than most free planners, with weighted categories, a what-if simulator and a target-grade calculator. The costs are real and structural: no iOS build, no sync between devices, no connection to school gradebooks, and no user ratings yet. Exports to JSON, CSV and ICS keep the data portable.
