Why You Don’t Just Need a Timetable App… You Need a Study System
So, you’re looking for apps to make study time table and actually follow it? Honestly, the best combo is a timetable + a study app that keeps you accountable, and that’s where Flashrecall) comes in. You can plan your study blocks in any calendar app, then let Flashrecall handle what you study and when with spaced repetition, reminders, and smart flashcards. It turns those “study 7–9 pm” blocks into focused, automatic review sessions so you don’t waste time figuring out what to revise. If you want a timetable that works instead of just looking pretty, set up your schedule and plug Flashrecall into those slots right away.
Step One: Know What You Actually Need From a Study Timetable App
Before we dive into specific apps to make study time table planning easier, it helps to know what you’re looking for. Otherwise you end up with a super aesthetic timetable that you ignore after two days.
Here’s what a good setup should give you:
- A clear when → your timetable (calendar / schedule app)
- A clear what → your study content (this is where Flashrecall shines)
- A clear how → methods like active recall and spaced repetition (built into Flashrecall)
Most timetable apps only solve the “when”. They don’t care if you’re just re-reading notes or actually learning. That’s why pairing a timetable app with Flashrecall) is so effective: your schedule says “study now”, Flashrecall tells you exactly what to review.
1. Flashrecall – The App That Makes Your Study Time Blocks Actually Useful

How to use Flashrecall with your timetable
1. Use any of the timetable apps below to block “Study – Biology”, “Study – French”, etc.
2. During that block, open Flashrecall.
3. Let Flashrecall tell you which cards are due based on spaced repetition.
4. Just follow the queue. No decision fatigue, no “what should I do now?”
Your timetable decides when. Flashrecall decides what and how. That combo is way more powerful than a timetable app alone.
2. Google Calendar – Simple, Free, and Great for Time Blocking
If you want something free and straightforward, Google Calendar is still one of the best apps to make study time table planning painless.
How to use it for a study timetable
- Create separate calendars for:
- Classes
- Study / revision
- Exams / deadlines
- Use color-coding:
- Blue → classes
- Green → study
- Red → exams
- Time-block your day:
- 5–6 pm: Flashrecall – Biology
- 6–6:30 pm: Break
- 6:30–7:30 pm: Flashrecall – History
Then, when the notification pops up, you open Flashrecall) and get straight into spaced repetition instead of staring at your notes wondering where to start.
3. Apple Calendar – Perfect If You’re All-In on iPhone and iPad
If you’re using iPhone or iPad already, Apple Calendar is a super underrated way to build a study timetable.
Why it works well for students
- It’s already on your device
- Syncs across iPhone, iPad, Mac
- Integrates nicely with reminders and widgets
Quick setup idea
- Create repeating events:
- Mon–Fri 7–8 pm: “Flashrecall – Languages”
- Sat 10–12: “Flashrecall – Weekly Review”
- Add alerts 10–15 minutes before so you can wrap up what you’re doing
- Keep Flashrecall on your home screen so one tap takes you from “reminder” to “studying”
Again, the timetable tells you when, Flashrecall handles what and how so you’re not just reading slides.
4. Notion – For People Who Want Aesthetic + Customization
If you like pretty dashboards and full control, Notion can be turned into a very flexible study timetable.
How to turn Notion into a study planner
- Create a database called Study Schedule
- Add properties like:
- Subject
- Date
- Time
- Priority
- Status (Not started / In progress / Done)
- View it as a calendar so you can see your study timetable visually
Then, in each task, you can write:
- What to cover
- Links to PDFs or lecture slides
- A note: “Create flashcards in Flashrecall for this topic”
You can use Notion for planning, then move the actual learning into Flashrecall) with flashcards made from your notes, screenshots, or PDFs.
5. TimeTune or TimeBloc – For Routine-Based Study Timetables
Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :
If you’re trying to build a consistent daily routine (e.g., “I always study at 7 pm”), apps like TimeTune or TimeBloc are great.
They let you:
- Create daily or weekly routines
- Repeat them automatically
- See your day as blocks of time
Example routine:
- 4–5 pm: Exercise
- 5–6 pm: Free time
- 6–7 pm: Flashrecall – Science
- 7–7:30 pm: Dinner
- 7:30–8:30 pm: Flashrecall – History
You don’t have to re-plan every day. You just follow the routine and let Flashrecall serve the right cards at the right time using spaced repetition.
6. Trello – Kanban-Style Study Planning
If you like visual boards, Trello can be used as a hybrid timetable + task manager.
Simple Trello setup for study
Create lists like:
- “This Week”
- “Today”
- “In Progress”
- “Done”
Then:
- Add cards like “Monday 6–7 pm – Flashrecall: Chapter 3 Biology”
- Move them through the lists as you complete them
You can also:
- Attach screenshots or PDFs you’ll later turn into Flashrecall cards
- Add checklists: “Make cards → Review cards → Mark difficult ones”
Trello is great for the planning & tracking, while Flashrecall is where you actually learn and remember.
7. Forest – For Staying Focused During Your Study Blocks
Forest isn’t exactly for making a study timetable, but it’s perfect for sticking to one.
You:
- Set a timer (e.g., 25 or 50 minutes)
- Grow a virtual tree while you stay off your phone
- Kill the tree if you exit the app
Here’s how it pairs well with Flashrecall:
1. Your timetable says: “7–8 pm – Study Chemistry”
2. You open Forest and set a 25-minute timer
3. You open Flashrecall) and do focused active recall
4. Short break → repeat
Timetable + Forest + Flashrecall = you know when to study, you stay focused, and you actually remember what you studied.

Step 5: Use reminders and stick to the plan

- When a notification pops up, don’t negotiate with yourself. Just open the app and do the due cards.
Why Just a Timetable Isn’t Enough (And Where Flashrecall Wins)
A lot of apps to make study time table look nice but don’t change your grades much because:
- They don’t tell you how to study
- They don’t optimize when you revisit information
- They don’t use active recall or spaced repetition
Flashrecall solves those gaps by:
- Turning your notes, images, PDFs, and links into flashcards automatically
- Using active recall so you’re actually testing your memory, not re-reading
- Using spaced repetition so you see each card right before you’re about to forget it
- Sending auto reminders so you don’t have to plan every review manually
- Working offline, so your timetable doesn’t die when Wi-Fi does
So yeah, use any app you like to plan your study timetable. But if you want that timetable to translate into real learning and better memory, plug Flashrecall) into those time blocks.
Quick Recap
- Use calendar / planning apps (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Notion, TimeTune, Trello) to decide when you’ll study.
- Use Forest or similar for focus during those blocks.
- Use Flashrecall to decide what to study and make sure you actually remember it.
Set your timetable once, then let Flashrecall handle the heavy lifting every day.
