Small Orbit, the Mac study scheduler with four unstable administrators
A macOS learning assistant that syncs a Schoolis timetable and uses AI to place assignments into study periods.
Field notes
Small Orbit presents a Mac menu-bar workflow for students: a user can type a short instruction, while the application is described as syncing Schoolis courses, assignments, and grades. Its scheduler considers deadlines, tomorrow’s class position, estimated duration, and available ASA or evening-study periods. The homepage shows a sample plan assigning an AP Physics lab report before class and an English quiz to a later study block. Version 3.11.1 is listed, with macOS 13+ support, local saving, and Sparkle-based updates.
