Tasks
Track assignments, to-dos, and exams in one timeline, add tasks with natural dates, set reminders, and export them to your calendar.
The Tasks tab is the home for assignments, to-dos, and exams. The default All view keeps active work in one date-based timeline: Overdue, Today, Upcoming, No date, Completed, and a collapsed Past Exams history.
Use the filter menu to show only Tasks or Exams, combine that choice with a class filter, or return to All. Exams carry an Exam label and remain scheduled events rather than checkable tasks.
Add a task
- Quick add: type in Add a task and press return. MySched can read a date in your text, such as "essay due Friday 3 PM." If there is no date, it uses today at 5 PM.
- Full editor: tap + to set the details yourself.
In the full editor, you can add a title, notes, class, due date, and reminder. A task reminder can be at the due time, or 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day before.
To add an exam on Android, tap + ▸ New exam, then add its date, time, class, and coverage.
Exam countdowns and the Next Exam widget use that scheduled time. An exam can have its own reminder, set to 60 minutes before by default. Exams do not have a completion state.
If notifications are off, a task reminder cannot appear. Use the Open Settings action MySched provides.
Manage your list
- Filter by type and course, or search tasks and exams.
- Mark a task Done or Reopen it.
- Delete a task and use Undo if you changed your mind.
- Show or hide Completed, or clear completed tasks.
- Open an exam to inspect or edit its date, class, and coverage. Once its time passes, it moves to the collapsed Past Exams section.
From Dashboard, you can also finish a task or move it to tomorrow.
If a task has a due date, you can add it to your calendar. On iPhone and iPad, you can also add it to Apple Reminders, or export your tasks to the Apple Calendar you choose. Task export never touches your class events.
Study planning
On Android, open Plan study blocks from the Tasks overflow menu for a suggested week of study blocks. Each block is tied to a task; tap + to add one as a "Study: …" task. Turn on Exams mode to make longer blocks from your actual upcoming exam records.
On iPhone and iPad, Plan my week in Tasks places study blocks into your free time. It is part of MySched Pro; without Pro you can read the first suggested session.
The plan is made on your device, and study blocks you add are ordinary tasks that follow the normal sync rules. MySched uses each exam's scheduled time as the deadline; it does not guess from words in task titles. See Study planning.
