Smart Study Planner

AI-powered priority generation highlighting the most urgent and important study tasks for today.
Smart task management with automatic priority scoring based on exam dates and difficulty levels.
Real-time productivity tracking with dynamic progress updates as tasks are completed.
Built-in Pomodoro timer and dark mode for focused, distraction-free study sessions.

Inspiration

I frequently felt overburdened as a student by the numerous subjects, homework, and impending tests. Choosing what to study first was more difficult than actually studying. Stress and procrastination resulted from that daily decision fatigue. I wanted to create a straightforward tool that clears up any confusion and provides students with a clear place to start each day.

What it does

Smart Study Planner is a productivity web app that helps students:

Add subjects and study tasks
Assign difficulty levels and exam dates
Automatically prioritize tasks using urgency and difficulty scoring
Generate a focused “Today’s Plan”
Track progress with real-time statistics
Stay focused using an integrated Pomodoro timer

Instead of manually deciding what to do next, the app intelligently sorts tasks and highlights the most important ones.

How I built it

The entire project was built using:

HTML for structure
CSS for a clean, modern, responsive UI
Vanilla JavaScript for all logic and interactivity
LocalStorage to persist tasks across sessions

The priority system uses rule-based scoring:

Tasks closer to exam dates receive higher scores
Harder subjects increase the priority score
Completed tasks are deprioritized
Tasks are sorted dynamically to generate the top 5 most important items

The Pomodoro timer was built using JavaScript intervals and supports focus/break cycles.

Challenges I ran into

One of the main challenges was designing a priority algorithm that feels smart but remains simple and explainable. Another challenge was ensuring that tasks persist correctly using LocalStorage while keeping the UI responsive and clean.

I also focused heavily on user experience — building smooth animations, dark mode support, and a distraction-free layout.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

Building a fully functional productivity system using only frontend technologies
Designing a clean, modern interface suitable for real-world use
Implementing task prioritization logic without relying on external libraries
Creating a complete product within a short hackathon timeframe ## What I learned Through this project, I strengthened my understanding of DOM manipulation, state management, local storage handling, and UI/UX design principles. I also learned how to structure a project clearly and focus on solving a real user problem. ## What's next for Smart Study Planner
