Drop a syllabus → see today's plan in under 10 seconds. StudySprint is a Strands-wired agent built for first-generation college students: a verified syllabus becomes a week-by-week study plan, recall quizzes, and re-plans on missed weeks — with no-guilt mechanics. Missed = re-planned, never a broken streak.
Before StudySprint plans anything, it shows you what it actually fetched — course, weeks, due dates, and a hash of the evidence — and only plans after you confirm. If a syllabus claim can't be verified, the agent abstains instead of planning from it. That is a feature, surfaced honestly, not an error state.
“Planned from your verified BIO 101 — Intro Biology (sample, synthetic) syllabus: 3 weeks, 3 scheduled deadline(s), evidence hash 1991c70a2d85.”
Sample data from the project's own example syllabus and demo run (agent v0.2.0). Today's sample sprint: “Today's Sprint (60 min)” — cell structure, learn 45 min + retrieve 15 min. Life happened? The plan explains itself in plain language: “I moved week 1's sessions to week 2 because you marked them missed.”
The features StudySprint shipped for the submission window — plus the plan underneath them.
The UI shows what was fetched — course, weeks, due dates, hash — and only plans after the student confirms. The evidence gate, made visible.
One card: today's sessions, one tap to start, one tap “I missed this” → instant re-plan, no guilt UI. Today first — the plan is a means; today is the product.
“I have 25 min today, not 45” → the plan re-flows around the student's real day: job shifts, commute, life.
A 30-second check-in — done / partial / missed per session — feeds the re-plan. Streaks are shown as recovered weeks, never as broken chains.
No jargon anywhere. Every agent action explains itself in one sentence a first-gen freshman can act on.
Each topic gets a learn block and a retrieve block, recall quizzes per week, and missed weeks are carried forward and flagged — 12 sessions in the sample plan above.
Reading material, section by section: pass 1 skim, pass 2 focused re-read, one-tap term flagging for the words that need a second look. Shipped in v0.3.0 (study_reader.py).
A finder sweeps the reading and builds a term bank — the vocabulary the plans and quizzes draw from (study_pipeline.py).
More than one course at a time — and the plan exports as an .ics calendar file that drops into the calendar the student already uses (study_courses.py).
Method of loci and pomodoro sessions built into the plan, with reminders that nudge the next step (study_memory.py).
STEP 1
A syllabus file becomes a verified evidence set — the same stamped-evidence shape as the evidence gate it extends.
STEP 2
You see exactly what was fetched before anything is planned. Unverified claims stop the plan — the agent abstains.
STEP 3
Today's card, check-ins, and quizzes run the daily loop. Miss a week and the sessions carry forward — re-planned, never punished.
The final demo — recorded on v0.4.0. The live web app release is vloading…; the version is read from the deployed app itself.

Three doors, one working app, sample course already loaded. Pick by where you're standing:
Door 1 — web (~10 seconds). Open the web app in any modern browser. Press Start Today's Sprint, flip the card, grade it. Works offline after the first load.
Door 2 — terminal (~1 minute). git clone https://github.com/timerloggedout-spec/studysprint && cd studysprint && pip install textual fsrs genanki && python3 tui.py — eight tabs, from Today to Export.
Door 3 — Android (~1 minute). Download the latest studysprint.apk and open it on the phone; the release carries SHA256SUMS and a trust block if you want to verify before installing.
StudySprint is open source — and the web app is live: open it in your browser, or run it locally from the repo. Read the receipts, and check the tests yourself.
python3 demo.py · python3 -m pytest tests/ — 1.0.0 is the Nov 4 submission release.
