Academy Homework Reminder (Sok)
Turn academy homework texts into per-child reminders.
Why I built it
Every academy formats its homework text differently. Each week I'd read those texts, figure out which kid they belonged to, and copy them one by one into the Reminders app. It was more of a chore than it sounds, and with two kids it got confusing.
What it does
- Paste the homework text and you're done — no copying by hand.
- Reads the text with an LLM and sorts out the subject, content, and due date.
- Figures out which child the homework belongs to.
- Adds the tidied homework into the iPhone Reminders app automatically.
- Since it deals with academy homework, a weekly timetable view came along naturally.
- Started as a web app, later refined into a native iOS app.

Where it is now
The features are all built. The catch is that the core — reading the text — runs on an on-device LLM inside the iPhone, and today's on-device models aren't yet good enough to hit launch-quality results. The next Siri (Apple Intelligence) update is said to improve on-device performance a lot, so I'm watching for that as the moment it could actually ship.
