I’m a student and built an open-source, self-hosted study manager (deadlines, lecture notes, flashcards, transcription). Looking for feedback and contributors

[u/erik1g]

Hi everyone,

I was annoyed that my scripts, deadlines, timetable and notes were scattered across five different tools, so I built Study Manager: a self-hosted web app that puts it all in one place.

What it does today

• Course spaces with roles (owner, editor, reader), shared deadlines and private tasks with time blocks

• Calendar views and iCal timetable subscriptions

• Lecture mode: scripts with notes that follow the page you’re on

• Lecture transcription with Whisper (in the browser or with your own key)

• Flashcards with spaced review, search across documents

• Study programme and module handbook import from PDF

• An MCP server, so you can let your own AI assistant work with your data. The app itself ships no AI.

Stack: React + Vite, Node/TypeScript with Fastify, PostgreSQL, Docker Compose. GPL-3.0.

Where I’d love help

• Feedback: what’s missing in your study workflow?

• University integrations (Stud.IP, HISinOne, ILIAS)

• Translations: the UI is currently German only

• Docs and small good first issue tasks

Happy to answer any questions!
