Abstract : This research explores the creation and effectiveness of a student-focused digital planner app specifically designed for students at the Southeast Asian Institute of Technology (SEAIT). Students often have difficulty with managing their time, prioritizing tasks, and planning their studies, which may cause them to become stressed and perform poorly in their studies. To remedy these concerns, the research presents a mobile app intended to simplify academic planning, note-taking, task management, and performance tracking through functionalities like a calendar, CGPA calculator, and planner features. Based on user comments, the study assesses the influence of the app on students' productivity, organization, and academic performance. The research also reveals recurring difficulties users encounter when using the digital planner and proposes enhancements to maximize user experience. In general, this study emphasizes the value of a well-designed electronic planning tool in promoting student performance and well-being through better time and task management.

Keywords : Digital Planner, Time Management, Academic Performance, Mobile App, Student Productivity, SEAIT.
