What is ProPlan Scholar?
ProPlan Scholar is the AI study companion built for real students — working professionals returning for a degree, student-athletes, doctoral candidates, Greek life members, and parent-students.
It covers the whole study workflow: import your semester from Canvas or Blackboard, transcribe lecture recordings into study notes, generate flashcards and study guides from your real materials, and lock in what you learn with spaced repetition.
How is ProPlan Scholar different from Notion, Quizlet, or Anki?
Each of those tools does one thing well. ProPlan Scholar covers the whole workflow in one place:
- Notion / Todoist are blank canvases — you build the system from scratch. ProPlan Scholar sets itself up from your Canvas or Blackboard calendar in seconds.
- Quizlet makes you type flashcards manually. ProPlan Scholar generates them from your actual assignment files, lectures, and syllabus.
- Anki is a pure spaced-repetition tool with no scheduling, no lecture transcription, no course structure. ProPlan Scholar's Smart Review uses the same SM-2 algorithm, but every card is already tied to a real assignment and course.
- Otter transcribes lectures but doesn't generate study notes or connect them to your semester plan.
ProPlan Scholar is the only tool that goes from your syllabus to your final exam — plan, capture, learn, and remember, all in one place.
How much does ProPlan Scholar cost?
$10 / month or $99 / year (save $21 with the annual plan).
Every plan includes a 7-day free trial — no credit card required to start.
Early testers currently have unlimited free access while we're in early access; pricing kicks in when paid plans formally launch.
Which Texas universities does ProPlan Scholar support?
Can I import my syllabus?
Yes. You can:
- Paste a Google Docs URL
- Upload a PDF or Word file
- Snap a photo of a printed syllabus
The AI extracts your courses, due dates, and topics automatically and turns them into a planned semester in seconds.
Can I connect my school's LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, and others)?
Yes. ProPlan Scholar can auto-import assignments and exams directly from your learning management system:
- Canvas (by Instructure)
- Blackboard Learn (Ultra or Original)
- D2L Brightspace
- Moodle
- Schoology
- Google Classroom
In Settings, pick your LMS from the dropdown and paste your Calendar Feed URL. ProPlan Scholar syncs daily and detects any duplicates against assignments you've added manually. Works even at schools that disable LMS API access, because it uses the standard iCal feed every LMS provides.
Can I turn lecture recordings into study notes?
Yes. Upload an audio recording of your lecture (up to 25 MB, roughly 40 minutes) and ProPlan Scholar will:
- Transcribe the audio with AI
- Generate structured study notes — summary, key concepts, terms, question bank, and outline
- Let you save the notes as a first-class study guide attached to that course
Works with .mp3, .m4a, .wav, .mp4, and .webm — the same formats Voice Memos and most recording apps produce. AI review disclaimer applies: always verify important details against your source.
What is Smart Review and how is it different from regular flashcards?
Smart Review is spaced repetition built into your planner. It uses the SM-2 algorithm (the same science Anki has used for decades) to decide when to resurface each flashcard:
- Cards you struggle with come back sooner — even in 1 minute if you press Again
- Cards you master space out further, up to years
- Your daily queue mixes new cards with review cards, capped based on your backlog so you don't get buried
You get a retention percentage per session, a day-streak counter, and per-course progress (Ready · Learning · Mastered). Push and SMS reminders fire when cards are due. Every flashcard generated in the app feeds into Smart Review automatically — no separate setup.
How does the AI work?
ProPlan Scholar uses Anthropic's Claude AI. It analyzes your syllabus, assignment due dates, course materials, and your work, training, and travel schedule, then generates a personalized plan with study blocks across the semester.
Regenerate the plan any time your schedule changes. Full disclosure of how we use AI is on the How We Use AI page.
Does ProPlan Scholar work on my phone?
Yes. ProPlan Scholar is a Progressive Web App — install it to your home screen on iPhone or Android and it works like a native app.
Take photos of class notes for AI to ingest, get push notifications each morning, and study from anywhere. No app store required.
Can I export my ProPlan schedule to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar?
Yes. ProPlan Scholar generates a private .ics calendar feed you can subscribe to in Google, Apple, or Outlook Calendar.
Your classes, assignments, study blocks, milestones, and travel dates appear automatically and update as your plan changes.
Note: this is the outbound export — sending ProPlan's schedule out to your personal calendar. To import assignments FROM your school (Canvas, Blackboard, etc.), see the LMS connection question above.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Your data is stored in Supabase with row-level security on every table — only you can access your records. Uploaded files live in private storage buckets.
We don't sell your data or use it to train AI models. AI requests go to Anthropic's API for processing only, with per-user rate limits to prevent abuse.
See our Privacy Policy and How We Use AI page for full details.
Can ProPlan Scholar help me prepare for exams?
Yes. Upload your study materials — lecture recordings, notes, textbook chapters, slides, photos of handwritten notes — and the AI generates:
- Flashcards from your actual content, fed automatically into Smart Review (spaced repetition)
- Study guides in 4 formats: summary, Q&A, outline, cheat sheet
- Lecture transcripts and structured notes from any audio recording
- Personalized study blocks leading up to your exam
Get a 7-day early warning notification for every exam that includes study-guide status. Export any guide as a PDF for offline review.
Does ProPlan Scholar work for working students, athletes, or parents?
Yes — that's specifically who we built it for. ProPlan Scholar is designed for students juggling real responsibilities: shift work, training schedules, kids, commutes, Greek life commitments.
The planner adapts around the constraints you actually have.
