This is a really ambitious idea for an app. I like your focus on time management, where you've thought about how to encourage having a good balance of study and other activities, and to do that you're going to help make the study time more efficient.
You have very slick mock-ups of the app in the presentation and in Figma. Nice job. It's clear that you thought through a bunch of different features to make the app more engaging, including gamifying it with achievements, streaks, etc.
Maybe you could also allow the student to put in upcoming tests and projects for their classes, and the app could help them budget time so they aren't rushing at the last minute. And maybe it could also help them focus on goals like trying to improve their grade in a particular subject.
Anyway, really good job overall. Very professional looking!

Really cool idea. I work with founders on building new products, and I know a few who are wrestling with this concept. I think it's fantastic to have a product built by students for students. That's often the best way to build a new tool, just based on a problem that's personal to you.
I also really enjoyed your incorporation of game components. Gamification is a very popular mechanism to drive behavior change, making it easier for someone to adopt new behaviors that might be better for them. It's common in building software to look at other industries to see what works well and to think outside of the box. Even though gamification techniques like achievement tracking and earning badges might be more popular in video games, this goes to show it also can work in a personal productivity or life management context.
I think you do a really great job with your designs in Figma: I think they look really slick, and it was a really great demo, so I really appreciate that. I also really valued getting a look under the hood at your story mapping. Building out the user journey that way really helps you to be comprehensive in understanding all of the different features that would add value, and how the user should access them. I would love to see this grow and, as you incorporate all components of an individual's life, both within schools and outside of school. Really well done.
