The calendar

Every kind of date, colour-coded

One calendar for exams, deadlines, classes and your own revision sessions, each with its own colour.

Eight event types

Exam, deadline, class, revision, practical, meeting, personal or other — each with its own colour.

Link a subject

Attach any event to a Vault folder, so it filters alongside everything else in that subject.

Filter by subject or category

Narrow the month down to one subject, one event type, or both.

Month view or a flat agenda

Switch views depending on whether you want to scan a month or read a list.

All-day or timed

Set a time and an optional reminder, or just mark the day.

Repeating events

Set it once, let it repeat

Weekly classes and regular revision slots do not need adding one at a time.

Editing a series

Edit just this one occurrenceEdit the whole seriesDelete one, or delete the whole series

Daily

Generates up to 90 daily copies from your start date.

Weekly

Generates up to 52 weekly copies — a year of a weekly class in one go.

Monthly

Generates up to 12 monthly copies.

Annually

Generates up to 5 yearly copies — handy for a recurring deadline.

Exam-linked revision

Add an exam, reshape your revision

An exam is more than a date on a calendar — link it to a subject and your flashcard schedule plans around it.

Add an exam and pick a subject

Choose "Exam / assessment" as the type and link it to a Vault subject, or to one file within it.

The date writes back to your files

Every document in that subject picks up the exam date, so your Vault and calendar stay in sync.

Flashcards compress to fit

The subject’s FSRS schedule is recompressed so every review lands before the exam, not after it.

Reviews ramp up as it nears

In the last 30 days target recall climbs to 95% — see spaced repetition.

Notifications

One bell, everything that needs you

The bell at the top of every page gathers what is coming up — nothing to dismiss and forget, it reappears if it still matters.

Upcoming exams

Any exam in the next 14 days, from your calendar or a Vault exam date.

Alert 2

What event types can I add?

Exam / assessment, deadline, class / teaching, revision session, practical / placement, meeting / group study, personal, and other — each with its own colour.

Can events repeat?

Yes: daily (up to 90 days), weekly (up to 52 weeks), monthly (up to 12 months) or annually (up to 5 years). Editing lets you change just one occurrence or the whole series.

How does linking an exam to a subject help my revision?

The exam date writes onto every document in that subject, and BrightStudy recompresses the FSRS flashcard schedule for that subject so every review lands before the exam.

Can I move an event to a different day?

Yes, drag it onto a new day in month view and it saves straight away.

What does the notification bell show me?

Exams in the next 14 days, reminders at the lead time you set, flashcards due for review, and MCQs you have not attempted yet — soonest first.

Does my calendar show up on the dashboard?

Yes, as an "Upcoming" widget: a mini month view with a coloured dot per event and a side panel for the day you select.

Is there a calendar in the mobile app?

Yes, with its own month and agenda views, reached from the Home screen.

Is the calendar on the Free plan?

Yes, the calendar is available on every plan, including Free. Compare plans.
