I was frustrated with paper planners, school platforms, calendars, and to-do lists…

I Was Tired of Tools Not Built for Students

I’m Petr, and I’m here to help you get better grades with less stress.

With a tool designed just for you—the student.

Because I hated the tools available to me.

So I built the tool I wished I had as a student

As a student with ADHD, I needed something truly made for the student experience.

So, I built it for you. It’s called Shovel.

Now, before I say anything else, here is short review from Kayla, one of our users, who said:

“Shovel is a LIFESAVER.”

Avoid Procrastination By Making a Real Study Plan

Drag & drop tasks into your calendar.

For me, to-do lists were “wish-lists.” Horrible for chronic procrastinators like myself.

But by scheduling tasks into my calendar, I was able to commit to completing my tasks much better.

The problem was that adding tasks to my calendar was always difficult because my calendar and task list (syllabus) were disconnected. So I made it easy for you. Just drag & drop.

Reduce Stress By Seeing You Can Get It Done

Know you can get it done.

What always gave me the biggest anxiety as a student was never knowing if I’d have enough time to get everything done.

Was I taking too many hard classes, being too social, spending too much time being an athlete???

I wanted to build a feature that would answer this simple question—” Do I have enough time to get everything done? “

Our Cushion™ tracks your study time and task demands in real-time, providing early alerts to adjust your schedule way before you run into trouble.

A true game-changer for reducing academic stress and missed deadlines.

5 Steps to Stress-Free A’s

1- uncover your available study time.

Quickly build your schedule and uncover your available study time. Shovel keeps track of your available study time to calculate if you have enough time to get things done.

2- Estimate How Long Each Task Will Take

Organize every task from every class in one place and always know how long each task will take and when to get started.

P.S. Shovel calculates the time needed for each reading automatically.

3- Plan Tasks Into Specific Study Times

This is called time-blocking and it’s like setting appointments with yourself for getting things done. It merges your calendar with your to-do list and maximizes your productivity.

4- Let The Cushion™ Help You Meet Every Deadline with Ease

Shovel calculates if you have time to get everything done on time, or if you need to change your schedule.

We call it the Cushion™ and it lets you see into the future, so you never run into trouble! No other app can do that.

5- Visualize Your Past And Your Future

Stay encouraged by checking out what you’ve accomplished and stay on track by seeing what’s coming up.

Everything in One Place

Shovel Syncs with School Systems and Calendars

Connect your calendars and import your tasks from Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, and Google Classroom into Shovel. When things change, Shovel updates automatically.

Who Is Shovel For?

For students who want to dig in and get stuff done.

NOT for creators, professionals, or soccer moms.

Shovel has one purpose — to help students get better grades with less stress. That’s it.

“I went from almost failing to straight A’s in upper-level neuroscience thanks to the Shovel Study System.”

Miracle for ADHD

I actually don’t know what I would do without this app! I have ADHD and planners have NEVER worked for me. I end up forgetting about them and they don’t help. The only thing I’ve EVER found that actually helps me not miss assignments and due dates is a combination of Shovel and Google Calendar. I’m currently a straight A student in college and have never missed a single assignment or been blindsided by an exam thanks to Shovel. Forever grateful for this app.

Shovel Is The Brain I Wish I Had

The best school planner out there. I have horrible ADHD, and simply cannot filter, prioritize, and plan the way Shovel’s algorithm does. My brain crashes just looking at a todo list. Shovel is the brain I wish I had. It guides me through planning based on how much time I have vs how many hours each task will need to be completed by the due date. I just select study time slots and fill them with task time.
