Bulacan-based Computer Science graduate Neil Daquioag developed MySched to help his schoolmates solve a longstanding dilemma. After noticing that important updates are scattered across group chat notifications, screenshots, and even miscellaneous emails, he created the app as a customizable hub where users can attend to their responsibilities without the added stress and clutter.
Over 26,000 Filipinos have downloaded MySched since its launch earlier this year. Even Apple itself considers it one of this generation’s best educational apps—a testament to its inspiring student-first interface. But don’t just take our word for it. Here are all the handy features that make MySched worth trying:
No-fuss Schedule Readers and Reminders

Feeling overwhelmed by all the classes, meetings, and hangouts you have to squeeze into one week? We reckon the fear of missing any of them hasn’t done you any favors, either. But thanks to MySched, your timetables won’t be as hectic as they might’ve been before.
If you rely on screenshots for your class schedules, MySched can turn them into adjustable time slots. You can also stay punctual by setting alarms at least an hour before your next class. More features from this widget include:
- Clearing your schedule in light of no-class days,
- Moving and transferring time slots in case suspensions occur, and
- Archiving courses from previous semesters that you can bring back anytime.
Entering Your “Academic Weapon” Era

Grades aren’t the sole metric of your success as a learner. Still, it always helps to put your best foot forward academically and take pride in your honest work. There may not be an easy way out of your requirements, but MySched aims to reduce their hassles little by little.
MySched’s grades-focused widgets offer a clear rundown of your academic progress in each subject you’re enrolled in. Once you tally your scores from past assessments, the app can estimate the remaining numbers you need to achieve the grade you’re gunning for. If you’re a college senior vying for honors, you can also keep a close eye on your General Weighted Average (GWA) as you persevere towards graduating with flying colors.
An Extensive Archive of Insightful Tips

Remembering important announcements like deadline extensions and class cancellations can be tedious when they fly in from multiple group chats at once. With MySched, you can archive these updates into thorough lists instead of letting them rot in your notifications tab.
Ditch the excessive screenshot-taking and digging through your camera roll for the information you need, because MySched takes care of the organizing for you. Whether you fancy straightforward lists or eye-catching sticky notes, the app has everything you need to stay in the loop with all your campus whereabouts.

The country’s bright, young minds have spoken—MySched deserves every bit of recognition that comes its way. And with all the support it has gotten from Filipino students this year, we’re certain that international developments will be underway in no time. We might even get a new version of the app that acts as a digital planner and productivity guide for “chronically online” full-time employees.
For now, here are a few notable reviews about MySched and its meaningful features:
One student was particularly fond of the app’s customizable widgets and hassle-free time-blocking methods. They shared, “Everything I wished for [in] a scheduling app is here!”
Another appreciated Neil’s prompt responses to feedback and areas for improvement: “The developer listens well to feedback and feature requests, which is a big plus!”
Even the app’s accuracy in scanning documents didn’t go unnoticed. This user wrote, “A good application where you can automatically scan your registration form. Hopefully, the developer can consider expanding it…”
This is only the beginning for MySched as a highly recommended task management app for Filipino students. We’re stoked to find out how else it can lend a helping hand in school, at work, and in our personal upkeep.
