How it works

Up and running in three steps

Two minutes to set up. The structure is already done for you.

01

Build your list

Search from hundreds of pre-researched schools or paste a list of names. Every college lands with tuition, rankings, acceptance rate, and an 8-step checklist already attached.

02

Work it, not around it

Essays live next to each college with live word counts and auto-save. Scholarships move through their own pipeline from Saved to Won. Everything updates in place, no tab-switching required.

03

Always know what is next

Focus This Week ranks your colleges by deadline and progress so you never have to figure out where to start. The calendar holds every date: apps, scholarships, SAT, and FAFSA.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes, entirely. No trial, no credit card, no paywall. Every feature on this page — colleges, essays, scholarships, the calendar, and the cost calculator — is available to every user.

Only what you enter: your email, colleges, deadlines, checklist progress, notes, essays, and the scholarships you track. We use row-level security so only you can access your data. We do not sell it or use it for advertising.

Yes. You get a read-only link and pick exactly what appears on it: colleges (names, status, deadlines), essays (personal, supplemental, or scholarship), and your tracked scholarships. They can view, never edit. Your notes are never included.

Type any name and add it manually — the search is a shortcut for popular schools, never a restriction. You can also paste a whole spreadsheet and import every row at once.

Yes. They live in your account and are never included on shared links unless you explicitly turn that section on. Personal, supplemental, and scholarship essays each have their own toggle.

Hundreds of scholarships come pre-loaded with amounts, deadlines, and eligibility tags you can filter by major, state, or who you are. Track each one from Saved to Won, with its own checklist and essay workspace.

Yes. One link subscribes every deadline — college applications, scholarship dates, SAT, FAFSA — into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or any app that reads .ics feeds. It updates automatically as you make changes.

Enter sticker price, aid, and expected scholarship money, and it shows net cost, out-of-pocket, and a four-year total for every college side by side. It is an estimate to compare schools, not an official award.

A spreadsheet will not auto-prioritize what needs attention, track essay word counts, update statuses as you check tasks off, filter a built-in scholarship database, calculate net cost after aid, or generate a read-only link for your parents. This was built for college applications, so the things you actually need are already there. And if you keep a spreadsheet right now, importing it takes about a minute.
