College, minus the chaos

Your academic life shouldn't be scattered everywhere.

Between noisy group chats, buried PDFs, changing schedules and assignments you meant to remember, keeping up can feel like a subject of its own.

Flagship Feature
BunkBuddy

Know exactly where you stand before you skip.

Subject-level attendance, at-risk subjects and what the next class does to your percentage — without the back-row maths.

  • See safe and at-risk subjects

    Instant color-coded thresholds so you know which lectures you can afford to miss.

  • Understand “attend next” or “bunk next”

    Predictive calculations that show your percentage impact before you make the call.

  • Track against your attendance target

    Custom minimum requirement (75%, 80% or custom) kept automatically accurate.
