Modus Ordo

The free study planner that does the planning.

Hand over your task sheets, due dates and training nights, and get back a study timetable you can actually follow.

The app is free; the AI runs on your own key, and the AI provider may charge for it.

School comes in scraps. The Planner turns them into a week.

A task sheet photo, a quiz someone mentioned, footy twice a week, an essay checkpoint. Hand them over, and the Planner fits them into a study timetable around sport, work and bedtime. Anything new waits for your yes.

With Undo
Example week for Sam Reyes, the demo’s fictional Year 11 student. The quiz prep waits in To confirm until Sam says yes.

Open it on a school night. It says what’s next.

Today puts the Now card first: one thing to do, and why. Under it sit the rest of the evening, a heads-up table and what’s due soon.

School has a rhythm. Your study timetable can keep it.

That’s the name. Modus Ordo is Latin: modus, a measure or beat, and ordo, order. Together, the rhythm of order. Fancy name, simple idea: small, steady blocks instead of last-minute rushes.

  1. Every day

    ManagerPlanner

    Today shows what’s now. An “I’m home” check-in shapes the evening, and study fits between sport, work and bedtime.

  2. Every week

    PlannerCoach

    Plan spreads study across the week, around school and sport. On Sunday, the weekly review puts the plan next to what really happened.

  3. Every term

    PlannerExaminer

    IAs and exams are the big accents. The term view shows them coming, and the exam ramp moves the plan towards revision as each one gets closer.

Homework, plans and notes, each in its place

A homework planner, a study timetable, study sessions, notes and progress: seven places, each looked after by someone in the cast.

Eight helpers, each with one part to play

Instead of one chatbot that does everything, there’s a small cast: a Planner, an AI study tutor, an Examiner and five more, each with a shape, a colour and a way of talking. You talk to the Manager; it hands the work to the right one.

  • Manager

    Your one place to ask. Takes any request and hands it to the right helper.

    “Done. Lit quotes moved to 8:15 pm, after tutoring. Undo is there if you want it back.”

  • Planner

    Builds your days and weeks around school, sport, work and sleep.

    “Moved Methods to 7:10 pm. Bed stays at 10:15.”

  • Tutor

    Sits beside you in study sessions. Asks before telling.

    “Where did you get to? Show me your first step and we’ll go from there.”

  • Examiner

    Marks practice and gives draft feedback against the criteria.

    “2 of 3 marks. The nature of each stationary point isn’t justified.”

  • Librarian

    Files notes, sources and syllabus dot points so you can find them.

    “Filed under Rates of reaction. Source: your Chemistry notes, Tue 7 Oct.”

  • Scribe

    Helps you capture class quickly, then stays out of the way.

    “3 tasks, 1 question. Sort them after class.”

  • Coach

    Looks at how you’re going and what to focus on next.

    “Steady fortnight. Polar form in Specialist is the one to watch.”

  • Archivist

    Keeps History, so any change can be traced and undone.

    Never talks. Files quietly.

The lines are examples of how each one talks. You name your Manager; Sam calls it Juno.Meet the AI study helpers

Free to use. You decide about the AI.

Modus Ordo costs nothing to use. The AI runs on your own key, and the AI provider may charge for it, or you can switch it off. Code decides what the AI is allowed to change.

Why it’s free

  • No paid plan and no ads.
  • The AI runs on your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google (18+) or OpenRouter (18+). They charge by use; you set a monthly limit in the app.
  • Or turn AI off. The planner, tasks, notes and study timer keep working.
  • In this early build the AI isn’t on yet, so nothing costs anything.
How the app stays free

How the cast is kept in check

Every change falls into one of four bands, and code, not the AI, decides which.

  • Never the AIYou do it yourselfYour key, your account, privacy settings, deleting your data
  • Preview firstYou see the change and accept it, or notA new plan for next week
  • With a noticeIt happens, and tells youAdding an excursion from a web page you shared
  • With UndoIt happens, with Undo right thereMoving tonight’s Lit quotes to 8:15 pm

Changes go into History, with who made them and Undo.

Quick answers

Is it really free?

Yes. There’s no paid plan and no ads. The only part that can cost money is the AI, which runs on your own key from an AI provider, and you can turn the AI off. How it’s free.

Do I need an AI key?

No. Without a key the app still works as a planner, task list, notebook and study timer. The app’s own words for what changes: no chat (you change things with buttons), a basic plan from fixed rules, sessions with no help in them, and marking against the answers yourself.

With a key, the cast can chat, plan, tutor and mark. Right now, in this early build, the cast’s AI isn’t switched on yet, so its replies are examples. Getting a key, step by step.

I’m under 15. Can I sign up?

Please look around the preview first: it needs no account. Ask a parent or carer before you join the beta list. An age check, with a parent or carer confirming for younger students, is on the still being built list.

Where is my stuff kept?

In a database in Sydney, Australia, hosted by Supabase. Every table is locked to its owner, so other accounts can’t read your plans, notes or chats. The website and the app are delivered through Cloudflare’s network. Privacy and safety has the details, including what’s still being built.

Is it finished?

It’s an early build. The screens and tools are real and you can use them: Today, Plan, Tasks, Sessions, Goals, Library, Progress, To confirm and History, with Undo on changes.

The AI isn’t switched on yet, so the cast’s replies are examples, and the app labels them that way. Each feature page has a table of what’s built and what’s still to come.
