What fits

Fossify Calendarstrong · 90

Open-source, ad- and tracker-free Android calendar explicitly positioned as privacy-first and supports flexible repetition rules, so it fits a student who wants a free, secure app that makes adding repeating class events quick.

Best for: Android students wanting a free, privacy-focused calendar with strong recurrence options.

Papillonstrong · 80

Positioned specifically for students to manage schedules, timetables, homework and grades while emphasising privacy and open-source licensing, so it meets the need for a student-focused, non-AI, schedule-friendly tool.

Best for: Students who want a school-focused, privacy-oriented planner that handles class schedules.

Caveat: Focused on French schools and distribution, so availability or localization outside France may be limited — confirm it covers your university.

renCalstrong · 78

A local-first, open-source desktop calendar that stores events as editable .ics files and supports two-way sync; its design is geared to users who want local control and scripting access, matching the security and no-AI constraints while letting you create recurring events programmatically or via keyboard.

Best for: Students using Linux or macOS who prefer a local-first, scriptable calendar and strong privacy controls.

Partly fits

Easy Study - Timetable Plannerpartial · 72

Student-focused timetable builder that speeds up class entry but platform details and privacy guarantees are unclear.

Won’t cover: Aims to create student timetables quickly but does not emphasise privacy-first storage or a no-AI promise.

Timetable & Schedule Makerpartial · 70

Specifically targets school timetables and repeating weekly routines, but is iOS-focused and does not highlight privacy/no-AI explicitly.

Won’t cover: Designed to produce class timetables but lacks an explicit privacy- and no-AI guarantee.

Compass Calendarpartial · 68

Keyboard-first, fast scheduling app that deliberately omits AI, making quick entry possible, but it’s pitched at keyboard/desktop users rather than mobile-first student workflows.

Won’t cover: Optimised for keyboard-driven desktop workflows rather than quick mobile class-entry on phones.
