How it works · Today and Plan
A plan you can actually finish
Most study plans die on Tuesday. Fincho's is drafted from what is really on this week, sized to the minutes the student said they have, and rewritten when life gets in the way.
Real screens from the app, test accounts only. Names and marks are not a real family's.
Sunday evening, Year 9
Tom has quadratics homework due Friday and a chemistry quiz on Thursday. He tells Pip that Wednesday is out for football. Pip drafts the week: short sessions on the days he has, the quiz revision landing on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, the homework split so it is not all on Thursday night.
The draft comes as a card in the chat. He reads it, taps Confirm, and it becomes the week. Monday morning there is a list of three things and a Done button beside each. Two of three ticked and a twig goes on his nest; a missed day does not knock the pile over.
Sized to real time
The student sets daily minutes and study days once. Plans respect them; a 25-minute evening gets 25 minutes of work, not a wish list.
Built from what is actually on
Timetable, homework told to Pip, weak spots from marked work, the school's own term dates and exam weeks. Half term is half term.
Rewrites without fuss
Say "Wednesday is out" or "move the essay to Saturday" and the plan changes. Confirmed tasks that were already done stay done.
One twig a day
Finish two thirds of the day's list and a twig lands on the nest. No leaderboard, no streak shaming, no comparing siblings.
What parents see
You see plan completion and the nest growing, week by week, on the family dashboard. Not the conversation that produced the plan.
More of what Fincho does
- Schoolwork reviewTell Pip the score, show it the paper. It reads the wrong answers, spots that three mistakes are one habit, explains the costly one, and remembers the rest for practice.
- PracticeQuestions in the exam board's style, never copied from a past paper, marked point by point against a mark scheme. Hint first, answer last. Wrong ones come back with new numbers.
- GradesUpload the report as photos or a PDF. Pip reads the grade codes, learns your school's format, shows a table to check, and talks the report through with the student.
- Exam pathMocks, GCSE options, sixth-form applications, exam weeks, results days, UCAS deadlines: a timeline from this year to A Level results, built from national dates and the school's own calendar.
- FutureYear 9 options, Year 11 A Level choices, Year 12 courses and UCAS. Pip asks more than it tells, checks what feels easy against what scores well, and shows what each route requires, with the source.
