Desk research from the maker's own pages. Not yet tried by us. Checked 2026-10-24.
A long-running homework planner app. Students add classes and assignments with due dates, get reminders, and see what is coming in a calendar; teachers on the linked Teachers.io service can post assignments that flow in. The company now sells mainly to schools, with a digital hall pass, intervention tools and a school planner that gives parents optional visibility. The free consumer app still exists, with ads and an ad-free premium option.
Our take: Still works as a plain free planner for teens; families who want active support may prefer a planner that is updated more often.

Data and privacy
The privacy policy says myHomework does not give personally identifying information to advertisers, but ads in the apps come from third-party ad networks it does not control. It tries to capture the user's location at sign-up and sync. The policy's latest listed update is from 2018. Read the privacy policy.
