Assignment Deadline Tracker

The assignment that slips your mind until the night before is the assignment that costs you a grade. The Deadline Tracker keeps every due date in one sorted list — overdue first, then today, then the next three days — so you always know what's urgent and what's safe.

Add assignment

No assignments tracked

Add your deadlines above — they’re sorted by urgency and saved on this device.

How it works

  1. Add assignments with their title, due date and priority (low/medium/high).
  2. Items are sorted automatically: overdue → due today → due within 3 days → upcoming.
  3. Days-remaining badges show the countdown for each item.
  4. Mark items complete — they move to a finished list with a strike-through.
  5. Everything is saved on your device.

The formula

Days remaining

days = due date − today

Computed on calendar days. Negative = overdue; 0 = due today; 1–3 = the danger zone.

Worked example

Worked example

  1. Lab report due tomorrow, essay due in 10 days, quiz due today
  2. Sorted order: quiz (today) → lab report (tomorrow) → essay (upcoming)
  3. Work the list top-down — that's your study priority for the week.

No more “I thought that was next week”. The tracker is the memory you don't have to keep in your head.

Common mistakes

  • Forgetting to enter submission times — if your university closes submissions at noon, treat that day as the day before.
  • Adding every small task — the tracker works best for real deadlines; a todo list handles errands.
  • Ignoring the priority field — when two deadlines collide, priority is what the sort uses to break the tie.

Frequently asked questions

Is my deadline data stored anywhere?

No — assignments are saved in your browser's local storage on your device.

Does it send reminders?

Not yet — notifications require permission infrastructure that's on the roadmap. For now it's a visual tracker you check like a to-do list.

Can I use it for exams too?

The exam countdown tool is built for exams; this one is optimized for assignments with priorities. Use both side by side.
