How it works

Plan, execute, reflect — in one loop.

1
Dump it in

One line is enough.

Type the assignment the way you'd say it out loud. Add the course and the due date if you know them.

Bean plans it

Steps, estimates, slots.

Bean decomposes it into ordered subtasks. The scheduler drops them into your free hours, around classes and your daily cap.

You show up

Focus, then reflect.

Start a timer tied to the subtask. Bean tracks focus against the estimate, then asks three short questions at the end of the day.

Features

No more stitching five apps into a system.

AI-powered decomposition
Bean reads tasks, then returns and schedules ordered subtasks with honest time estimates.
Syllabus import
Drop in a syllabus PDF or paste the text — Bean pulls out every assignment, quiz, and due date automatically.
Constraint-based scheduling
A free-slot map built from your classes, events and daily capacity. Tasks are scheduled where you actually have time; no more cramming things into your free hours!
Focus timer that counts
Pomodoro sessions tied to specific tasks, tracked against their estimates so you learn how long you really take to get things done.
A journal about you
Mood and energy check-in plus three prompts — wins, friction, tomorrow's intention. Just something to help you reflect on your day and set yourself up for tomorrow.
Daily briefing
A short read on your day: completion, focus hours, streak, and tips that fit what actually happened in your day.
6+
Core features working together,
not siloed.

Meet Bean

A study buddy, whenever you need one

Bean reacts to your day as you go through it. He's focused while the timer runs, proud when you close out your Today's Focus, and half-asleep at 2am — same as you! (We hope...)

A Note from the founder

Why I built Ordo.

"

Ordo is something I've been thinking about since my freshman year of college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The shift from high school to college was a big one, and one of the areas where I struggled most was planning. Things piled up fast, and finding a way to work through it all efficiently took a lot longer than I expected. I found that I needed a single tool that handled the full student workflow: not just a to-do list, but something that understands how long tasks take, when you're free, and how you're actually doing. Ordo is where I connected all three.

FAQ

Good questions.

Yes — you can set up your courses and schedule manually in a couple minutes. Google Calendar sync is optional and can be connected later from settings.
Ordo uses Claude (Anthropic) for task decomposition and daily briefings. Your data is used only to generate responses, never to train models.
Completely! Privacy is our top priority. Journal entries live in your account, protected by row-level security; we can't even decrypt them! We never read them, analyze them, or surface them to anyone but you.
iOS is in active development alongside the web app. Join the waitlist and you'll be first to know — and first in line for beta access on mobile.
Beta users get 6 months of Pro free, then can choose to stay on the free tier or move to Pro at $5/mo. No surprise charges, ever.
Absolutely. The tools are built for any structured academic load — undergrad, grad, or even working while studying. The "college student" framing is about the vibe, not a restriction.

Start with the thing you're avoiding.

Ordo is free for students during the beta. Bring one assignment and see what twenty-five minutes gets you.
