AI task breakdown

Turn a wall of text
into a plan.

Paste any assignment. Ordo's AI reads it, understands the scope, and breaks it into ordered subtasks with time estimates — then fits them into your open slots around classes and commitments.

Focus timer

Pomodoro with
a memory.

The timer is linked to exactly the step you're working on. Every session is logged against the estimate — so Ordo learns how you actually work, and gets smarter about what to schedule next time.

Mood check-in, energy level, three prompts: wins, friction, and tomorrow's intention. It's not about parroting your to-do list back. It's about the version of you that did the work.

How it works

Three steps.
Really, that's it.

No 40-tab setup. You're productive in three minutes.

i.

Paste your assignment

Drop in a task title or paste the prompt. Bean reads it, understands the scope, and asks one clarifying question if needed.

ii.

Watch the schedule fill in

Ordo checks when you're free, respects your daily capacity, and slots each subtask into your week. No double-booking your classes.

iii.

Work. Reflect. Repeat.

Start the focus timer on any step. At the end of the day, a 90-second journal check-in tracks mood and energy. Ordo gets smarter over time.

6+
Core features working together,
not siloed.

To reflect on your day.

From the founder

Why I built Ordo.

"

Ordo is something I've been thinking about since my freshman year of college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The shift from high school to college was a big one, and one of the areas where I struggled most was planning. Things piled up fast, and finding a way to work through it all efficiently took a lot longer than I expected. I found that I needed a single tool that handled the full student workflow: not just a to-do list, but something that understands how long tasks take, when you're free, and how you're actually doing. Ordo is where I connected all three.

FAQ

Good questions.

Yes — you can set up your courses and schedule manually in a couple minutes. Google Calendar sync is optional and can be connected later from settings.
Ordo uses Claude (Anthropic) for task decomposition and daily briefings. Your data is used only to generate responses — it's never used to train models.
Completely. Journal entries live in your account, protected by row-level security. We never read them, analyze them, or surface them to anyone but you.
iOS is in active development alongside the web app. Join the waitlist and you'll be first to know — and first in line for beta access on mobile.
Beta users get 6 months of Pro free, then can choose to stay on the free tier or move to Pro at $5/mo. No surprise charges, ever.
Absolutely. The tools are built for any structured academic load — undergrad, grad, or even working while studying. The "college student" framing is about the vibe, not a restriction.
