TaskKoala
Use case
Student life — one assignment at a time
Essays, lab reports, revision blocks, group projects — student life is a stack of competing deadlines. TaskKoala helps you stop procrastinating on “where do I start?” and actually open the next piece of work.
Why study lists do not work
You write down every assignment, then spend twenty minutes deciding whether to revise for Tuesday’s exam or draft Thursday’s essay. That mental overhead eats into the time you have to actually study.
Plant a tree for your term or module. Add each piece of work as a leaf — read chapter 4, draft essay intro, practice past paper 2. Mark imminent deadlines as high priority. Focus mode picks one leaf; you work until it is Done or Not today.

Tips for student life in TaskKoala
- One tree per module or term — upgrade for unlimited trees if you want separate trees per subject.
- Break big assignments into leaves — “write essay” becomes research, outline, draft, proofread.
- Study sprints in focus — commit to one leaf for twenty minutes; the koala picks what is next.
- Not today is okay — defer a leaf when you are not in the right headspace without losing track of it.
