How can we help?

Answers to common questions, and a direct line to get in touch. A real person reads every email — usually within a day.

How is this different from my calendar or reminders app?

Your calendar is built for events: meetings, birthdays, appointments. Your reminders app is a general-purpose to-do list. Neither was designed with student assignments in mind.

Deadline is built for exactly one thing: tracking assignments with urgency. The moment you add a task, it shows you a live countdown and colour-codes it — green when you have time, yellow when it’s closing in, orange when it’s urgent, and red when it’s critical. No setup, no calendar views to navigate, no noise.

A calendar shows you when something is due. Deadline shows you how long you actually have and makes sure you feel it.

Is Deadline really free? No catch?

Yes, completely free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no premium tier. Every feature in the app is available to everyone, always.

It was built by a student who needed it. There’s no business model here — just a useful tool.

Does Deadline collect my data?

Your student content stays private. Everything you enter — subjects, assignments, and due dates — stays on your device, and Deadline does not require an account or personal information.

Optional anonymous product analytics help improve the app and can be disabled in Settings. They are not linked to your identity or used for advertising. See the privacy policy for details.

Does it work without internet?

Fully offline. Deadline doesn’t need an internet connection for anything. Open it on a plane, in a lecture hall with no signal, wherever — it works exactly the same.

How does the urgency colour system work?

Each assignment card has a coloured line at the bottom that tells you exactly where you stand:

  • Green 5 or more days left. You’re fine.
  • Yellow 2 to 4 days left. Start thinking about it.
  • Orange 24 to 48 hours. Time to get moving.
  • Red Under 24 hours. The line pulses. You should be working on it.

You can also toggle a live seconds countdown in Settings for assignments under 24 hours, or extend it to all assignments if you want maximum urgency everywhere.

I accidentally completed an assignment. Can I undo it?

Yes. There’s no time limit on undo. Go to your completed assignments and restore it whenever you need to. No questions asked.

Will there be an Android version?

Android (Google Play) is currently in closed testing ahead of public release. It’s being built by one person, so timelines are honest rather than rushed. Follow along or reach out if you’d like to be notified when it goes public.

How do I delete all my data?

Go to Settings inside the app and tap Clear All Data. This wipes everything — subjects, assignments, completed items. It cannot be undone, so make sure you mean it.

Alternatively, deleting the app from your phone removes all data permanently.
