You already know what to build.The hard part is when.

Stride reads the calendar you already keep — classes, exams, academy — and works out what to do next on your side project, in an order that fits around all of it.

Free to use. Stride reads your calendar — it never posts, shares or changes anything you didn't ask it to.

So let's look at one Tuesday.

01

You tell it one thing.

A line or two about what you're building, and roughly how many hours a week you've actually got. That's the whole setup — no project plan, no task list to fill in first.

02

It writes the next steps.

Small enough to finish and specific enough to know when you have. “Message 20 local cafés”, not “do marketing” — and in an order where each one makes the next one possible.

03

Around the calendar you already keep.

School, academy, practice, exams. Stride reads the next fourteen days straight from Google and plans in the gaps between them — you never retype your own timetable.

04

So here's your Tuesday.

Sixteen hours, on paper. It looks like plenty until you put anything in it.

05

This is what's actually left.

Four and a half hours, starting at half six — fifteen minutes after practice ends, because nobody goes from a gym straight to focused work.

06

Then the week changes.

It always does. Tell Stride in a sentence — you've lost an evening, the exam moved, do the boring one first — and it rebuilds the whole plan around it. You never drag anything.

07

And if the idea itself is the problem?

There's a second conversation, and this one is paid to disagree with you. It maps what holds up and what doesn't as you argue, then hands the parts that survived to the planner.

What are you building?

Snack boxes I make at home and sell to local cafés. Trying to land the first ten stockists.

One or two lines is plenty.

Sample week

Not a screenshot — this is the real dashboard, running on a made-up student's week. Yours is built from your own calendar.

11–17 Aug

7 days of work

1 day looks like exam or deadline territory — Stride plans around them.

You asked for 10 hours a week, but this week only leaves about 14 free hours once school and your other commitments are in — and some of that has to be homework and rest. Stride planned for 3 hours instead, so the plan is one you can actually finish.

How did this go?

Honest answers make next week's plan better. "Didn't" is a perfectly good answer.

Last week

You planned 5 hours last week and did about 2.5 hours of it.

Thursday is where it keeps breaking down — worth planning lighter there.

How it works

  • 01

    Connect your calendar

    Sign in with Google. Stride reads the next 14 days so it can see your classes, academy and exams — and nothing else.

  • 02

    Say what you're building

    One line about your project, and roughly how many hours a week you've actually got for it.

  • 03

    Get a week you can finish

    A short, ordered list of concrete next steps with days attached, placed in your real free gaps and never on an exam day.

What makes it different

It tells you the truth about your time
Ask for ten hours a week and Stride will say so if your calendar only holds three — then plan three. A plan you can't finish is worse than no plan.
It plans around exams, not through them
Assessment weeks are left alone, and the days before them go easy. School comes first; that isn't a compromise, it's the design.
It asks how it actually went
When a task's day has passed, Stride asks: did it, partly, didn't. Answering "didn't" is fine, and it's what makes next week's plan fit better than this week's.
It never guilt-trips you
No streaks, no badges, nothing to break. Miss a week because of mocks and Stride simply replans around it.
