Why we built this

You shouldn’t need a spreadsheet to survive school.

Tests stack up. Data runs out. Load shedding hits at the worst possible moment, and the night before a test, you’re still scrolling screenshots for the right past paper. That’s the old way. Academia Sync puts your whole school life in one place: what’s due, what’s coming, and what to study next.

The old way

  • Deadlines in your head, papers in a shoebox
  • Panic at 22:00 the night before a test
  • Load shedding eats your study time anyway

The Academia Sync way

  • One home screen: what’s due, what’s overdue, what to focus on
  • A past paper for tomorrow’s test in three taps
  • Past papers downloaded for when the lights go out

Features

The tools, in the order you’ll use them.

01Past papers

20 000+ past papers, in your pocket.

Search by grade, subject or year and practise exactly what’s coming. Free accounts can view papers online; Premium unlocks downloads, so you keep studying through load shedding or on a dying data bundle.

  • View free online, or download on Premium
  • From trusted sources, kept up to date

Papers Galore, indeed.

02Study plans & focus timer

Study sessions that keep you honest.

Plan a session per subject, hit the timer, and let the app track your hours and consistency. Set target marks and compare them with your real results as the year goes on.

  • Focus / break timer built in
  • Weekly study hours, tracked automatically
  • Target marks vs. actual results

03Timetable

A timetable shaped like a school week, not a calendar app.

Add classes, extra lessons and sport that repeat every week. A moving timeline shows where you are in the day, and what’s next.

  • Repeating weekly classes, lessons and sport
  • A moving time line for “where am I right now?”
  • Classes and assignments in one view

FAQ

Questions we actually get.

Is Academia Sync really free?

Yes. The free plan covers assignments, timetable, study planning and teacher contacts, plus limited past-paper access forever, with no card needed. Premium is optional and only adds things like no ads and full past-paper downloads.

Which grades is it for?

Grades 7 to 12, following the CAPS curriculum. Annual Teaching Plans, past papers and subjects are aligned to what’s actually taught in South African schools.

Does it work during load shedding?

The app works offline. Premium lets you download past papers, so you can keep studying with the lights out, or when your data bundle runs dry.

What exactly is an Annual Teaching Plan?

ATPs are the Department of Basic Education’s week-by-week outline of what’s taught each term. Academia Sync turns yours into a plan you can see, tick off and study against.

How do payments work? Is it safe?

Payments are processed by Paystack. Your card details are never stored in the app, and you can cancel anytime.

Is my data private?

Your grades, schedule and notes stay yours. We don’t sell personal data, your data is encrypted, and you can delete your account whenever you like.

Your next test isn’t waiting.

Put your grade and subjects in, see the week ahead, and get the past paper you need in about two minutes.
