A student planner that actually helps with the planning part.
Unstuck helps students see what’s coming, know what to do, and get started
Most planners tell kids what’s due, not how to get it all done.
Unstuck is built for everything that happens between “I have an essay due” and “I got it done,” without the night-before scrambling.
Your daily checklist, with a clearer picture of the work ahead.
Everything on your list.
Homework, the next steps in your assignment plans, and other tasks you need to get done. All in one place, colour-coded by category.
Your routines, built in.
See your daily routines alongside your schoolwork. Tap to check them off and keep moving.
Know your workload. Plan accordingly.
See the estimated time for today’s tasks and track what’s done and what’s left. Unstuck flags heavy days and suggests ways to rebalance your workload, while lighter days are a chance to get ahead.
Ready to get started?
Open Study Mode to work through your list one task at a time, with a timer, built-in breaks and brain break suggestions.
Big assignments, broken down.
Writing down “Essay due Friday” tells you when it’s due. It doesn’t tell you when to start, what to do first, or how to fit it all in.
Add the assignment.
Choose the type (test, essay, project or other), the class and the due date. Unstuck uses these details to help shape your plan.
Get a head start.
Start with suggested steps tailored to the assignment. Keep them, add your own, or change the plan to fit how you want to work.
Spread the work out.
Put each step on a day before the deadline, or let Unstuck schedule them for you. When a step is due, it appears on your daily checklist, alongside your other work. You can adjust your plan whenever things change.
Unstuck helps students take control of their schoolwork.
Today, Plans, Study Mode, Brain Dump, and the rest.
One planner. Online. Wherever school happens.
Unstuck lives online, so there’s nothing to print, install, or keep updated.
It’s designed to shine on a laptop or school Chromebook — where most kids actually do their work, with the whole week in view.
Log in on a phone or tablet too: add something in the hallway, check a due date, tick things off from anywhere. Always synced.
More of what makes Unstuck different
Built for ADHD. Helpful for any busy student.
Unstuck is built around executive function: starting, planning, sequencing, organizing, and remembering what’s coming.
Those aren’t just ADHD challenges. They’re student challenges.
No streaks. No guilt. No badges for logging in. A bad week doesn’t break it — you just pick it back up and keep going.
Turns out the planner my kids needed didn’t exist. So I built it.
I’m Kate, mom of two — one in middle school and one in high school, one with ADHD.
We tried every planner going: the plain ones, the ADHD ones, the feature-stuffed ones. I even had planners custom designed and professionally printed (I know… I was desperate).
None of them were quite right. Not because my kids weren’t trying, but because most planners assume remembering, planning and getting started come naturally. And for lots of kids it doesn’t.
Unstuck is the student planner I wish my kids had years ago.
And if it works in my chaotic house, there’s a good chance it can work in yours.
Will this work for us?
We’ve tried a bunch of planner apps and always gave up after a week, but this one clicked right away.
I like that I can keep track of the little steps, not just the final due date.

Questions, answered.
Get set up From checkout to planning, step by step. Creating the account, filling it in, and adding it to your phone. Tap to open. +
How do I set up the planner?+
After you buy, you’ll get an email with your order number. Go to unstuckplanner.com, tap Log in, then Set up my planner. Enter the student’s email and the order number, then type the 6-digit code we email you. It takes about two minutes. See the full setup steps .
Is there a password?+
No. You log in once on each device and you stay logged in.
You’ll only need to log in again on a new device or after signing out. Then we email a link and a 6-digit code, and you use whichever is easier.
Whose email should we use?+
Use the student’s email, not a parent’s. The planner belongs to that email address, and one email = one planner.
The student needs to be able to open that inbox. That’s where the login link and code go whenever they sign in on a new device.
No separate student email? With Gmail, add a “+” and a name: yourname+josie@gmail.com goes to your inbox but counts as its own login.
We have more than one student. What do we buy?+
Choose how many students at checkout. One order number then sets up a planner for each of them, each with their own email.
Where does everything go?+
Big thing with a deadline? Plans. Homework from a teacher? Assignments. Practices, clubs, appointments? Activities. Something that needs doing but has no date? Running List. Head too full? Brain Dump.
Still not sure? Put it somewhere. You can always move it later.
How does Unstuck plan out a big assignment?+
Projects, papers, and tests go in Plans. Unstuck can do as much or as little of the planning as you like. If you save one before adding steps, a Plan the steps task goes on Today right away.
Each step then shows up in Assignments on the day it’s meant to happen, so the plan turns into today’s work without anyone copying it over.
Nothing is locked in. You can add, rename, or delete steps, change any date, or change the due date or prep time. If dated steps need to move, Unstuck offers to move them for you.
How early does Unstuck start a plan? Can I change it?+
Add big work in Plans as soon as you know about it, even months ahead. A Plan the steps task goes on Today right away, and the steps are spread out from the right starting point before the due date.
How early that happens depends on the kind of work:
To change the defaults for everything: tap the gear icon for Settings, open When planning starts, and pick a new number of days for any type of work.
To change just one project: open it in Plans and change How long to prepare. If it already has dated steps, Unstuck offers to move them with it.
What’s the Sunday Reset?+
A short checklist that sets up the week: look at what’s coming, empty your head, check every big deadline has a plan, and deal with anything left over. It shows up as a card on Today every Sunday.
What if we fall behind for a few days?+
In short: not much! Unfinished work stays on Today, where you can check it off, give it a new day, or let it go. No streaks and no guilt. Just pick it back up.
How much should a parent help?+
Do the setup together. After the first week, your job is mostly the Sunday Reset, and ten minutes together is plenty.
Try not to fill in their day for them. A planner someone else wrote doesn’t get opened.
Can I print it?+
Yes. Tap the printer icon to print just the page you’re looking at, without the buttons and tabs.
What if it doesn’t work for my kid?+
Email hello@unstuckplanner.com within 30 days of buying and you’ll get a full refund. No forms, no questions.
Bought on Etsy? Same promise. Message us through Etsy or email us your Etsy order number.
Is it a subscription?+
No. You pay once for the 2026–27 school year (August 2026 through July 2027). Nothing auto-renews, ever.
What happens when the school year ends?+
The planner becomes read-only. You can still read it and download everything you wrote. To keep planning, buy the next school year.
Which devices does it work on?+
Any device with a web browser: laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and phones. It’s the same planner everywhere, always synced. There’s nothing to install.
Is my student’s information private?+
Yes. What we keep: the email you sign in with, your order number, and what your student writes in the planner, so it can sync between their devices.
What we never do: show ads, add chat or social features, or sell or share your student’s information with anyone.
Want it all gone? Download everything any time from Settings, then email hello@unstuckplanner.com and we’ll delete the account and everything in it.
Is the Etsy version different?+
No. It’s the same planner. On Etsy, you set up with your Etsy order number instead.
Still stuck? Email hello@unstuckplanner.com and I’ll help.
