Free homework planner
Assignment planner
List what is due, how many hours each one will take, and how many hours a day you can give. The planner orders the work, tells you the latest day to start each piece, and the daily pace that keeps everything on time. No login, and nothing leaves this page.
The study schedule maker spreads topics across the days you have left.
Your plan
Assignly reads your real Canvas due dates so the list fills itself in.
How the planner works
Two numbers matter for every assignment: when it is due and how long it takes. Sorting by due date gives the order. Dividing hours by your daily availability and counting back from the deadline gives the start-by date. Running a total through the sorted list and dividing by the days left at each deadline gives the pace you have to hold. If that pace is above what you entered, something has to start today or be scoped down.
The default rows show the usual shape of a week: a small reading response due soon, a problem set behind it, and two larger pieces further out. The lab report looks distant, but at three hours a day its start-by date lands only a few days after the problem set is due. That is the gap a homework planner is for: the big thing that feels far away is the one that quietly becomes late.
Reading the plan
- On track. The start-by date is still ahead. Work on whatever is above it first.
- Start now. The start-by date has passed but the due date has not. Either raise your hours per day for this one or accept it will be tight.
- Overdue. The due date is behind you. Check whether the course accepts late work, then decide whether the points are worth the hours.
Skip the typing
Every row here is something Canvas already knows. Assignly connects with your school login, reads the due dates from all of your courses, and shows the next seven days with overdue work separated out. Essays, discussions, and uploads can be drafted in the app, reviewed by you, and submitted only when you confirm.

How does the assignment planner decide the order?
Earliest due date first, with the bigger assignment first when two share a date. That is the same rule most scheduling research recommends for deadlines: finishing the soonest item first never makes a later deadline harder to meet.
What does "start by" mean?
The last day you can begin and still finish at your daily hours before the due date. It is the estimated hours divided by hours per day, rounded up to whole days, counted back from the due date. If that day has already passed, the planner says start today.
How is "hours per day needed" calculated?
The planner walks through the assignments in due-date order and, at each deadline, divides everything due by then by the days remaining. The largest of those ratios is the pace you need to hold from today so nothing is late.
How do I estimate hours for an assignment?
Use the last similar assignment as the anchor and round up. A discussion post is usually one to two hours, a problem set three to four, a short essay four to six, and a lab report or research paper six or more. Overestimating costs you a free evening; underestimating costs you a late penalty.
Is this a homework planner app I can keep using?
It is a one-page planner: your rows stay only as long as this tab is open, and nothing is sent anywhere. For a planner that already knows your Canvas due dates and updates when they change, the Assignly desktop app does that after you connect with your school login.
Can it schedule my classes too?
No. It plans work toward deadlines, not a weekly class timetable. Subtract your class and work hours before entering your available hours per day and the plan will respect them.
