Try BriefDesk — live demo

Settings

Choose how BriefDesk plans your semester, organizes your files, and connects your account.

Study workflow

Choose the organizational steps that should appear on every class page.

Master templates

Link one document per type here and every course uses it by default -- linked, not copied, so opening it from any class opens the same document. Nothing here changes documents a course or reading already has of its own.

Outline master

Shown as a course's outline until that course connects its own, from its Templates tab.

No master set -- courses fall back to their own document, if any.

Reading master

Automatically attached to every reading assignment that doesn't already have its own document.

No master set -- courses fall back to their own document, if any.
