iPhone users, look at what you own before you download anything. The built-in apps are good enough.
- Reminders, used properly: deadlines as dated reminders, document checklists per school. Syncs, nags, costs nothing. Unsexy and undefeated. - Google Sheets on iOS: still the most reliable free tracker. One row per school, columns for everything. Never lost anyone's data. - Trello and Notion have solid iOS apps: Trello for the board view, Notion for a full roadmap. Both sync to desktop. - Dedicated planning apps? Check the last update date first. Untouched for two years means museum piece, not tool. - The real rule: the best tracking app is the one you actually open. A perfect Notion setup you ignore is worse than a notes app you check every morning.
