Study Portfolio

Study Portfolio keeps your studies in one place on your iPhone — your subjects and lessons, the work you are set and when it is due, your notes and evidence, and your revision — and reminds you before a deadline arrives. Version 1.0.0 is being tested on TestFlight at the moment and is not in the App Store yet.

What is coming up, on one screen. The dashboard lists the assignments due next, each marked with how long is left, and what is on today. A search under the title looks through your notes, subjects, assignments, evidence, revision topics, flashcards and tutors. Every other screen sits on a carousel at the foot of the dashboard: swipe to turn it, tap to open.

Subjects, lessons and work set. Each subject has its own colour and icon, with the teacher, the room, a target grade and notes. Lessons repeat on the days you choose, or happen once, with a week view and the next lessons coming up. Every assignment keeps its subject, what was set, the due date, whether it is done, the grade and feedback, and any sketches or scanned pages. The planner holds each day’s tasks and study sessions to tick off, and the calendar puts lessons, due dates, tasks and tutor sessions on a month view in your subjects’ colours.

Notes and the proof of your work. Typed, spoken and sketched notes, with scans and reminders. Dictation turns what you say into words you can correct, and keeps the recording. Photos and video of your work, taken in the app or imported. Worksheets, handouts and letters are scanned, squared up and kept as PDFs. Evidence — photos, scans, certificates, work samples and feedback — is gathered against each subject and assignment, and the best of it goes into portfolio collections with a cover and a summary.

Revision that comes round again. Topics for each subject are marked red, amber or green. Each time you revise one, the next review is spaced further out — a day, three days, a week, two weeks, a month — and the app shows what to revise today. Flashcard decks, multiple-choice quizzes made from a deck, and a focus timer that logs your minutes by subject sit alongside. Progress shows each subject’s grades on one scale — percentages, marks, GCSE 9–1, A*–U or BTEC — against your target, and a collection or a subject can be exported as a PDF, with your grades as a spreadsheet file.

Reminders, set on your phone. The evening before an assignment is due, on the days revision topics come round, at the end of a focus block, and for any note you set one on. Nothing is sent from a server. Two phones close together can share your subjects, notes, photos and work with each other directly, encrypted, without going through anybody’s server.

Everything stays on your phone in an encrypted database. The app does not use your location. There is no advertising or analytics code, and a PIN can lock the app.
