BUILT FROM REAL STUDENT RESEARCH

Good study tools begin
with listening.

GapTracker grew out of student research by Ehab Marrid and Saleem Trudi into a universal student problem: realizing what you don't understand only when the exam is days away.

36students surveyed, plus three in-depth interviews

~64%struggled to define precisely what they didn't understand

~53%postponed a gap after they had noticed it

~83%valued tools with little unnecessary effort or upkeep

Reported figures from the initial 36-person survey, not measurements of GapTracker's impact.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Before you dive in.

All questions & support

What is new in GapTracker 3.1?

GapTracker 3.1 introduces on-device Weekly Study Planning powered by Apple Intelligence, redesigned Critical Gaps with actionable study suggestions, post-session reflection check-ins, Siri voice commands, Shortcuts, Spotlight search, and an Apple Watch companion app.

How does Weekly Plan protect my academic privacy?

Weekly Plan generation runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your courses, topics, assignments, deadlines, priorities, and daily availability never leave your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Is GapTracker really 100% free?

Yes. GapTracker is free on the App Store with no subscription tiers, no hidden paywalls, no in-app purchases, and no advertisements.

Can I use GapTracker on my Mac?

Yes! GapTracker is available as a native app for Mac (macOS 15.0 or later with Apple Silicon or Intel), as well as iPad and iPhone. All your courses, assignments, and study plans stay in sync via private iCloud when enabled.

Does it work with my university's Canvas or Moodle?

Yes. You can connect Moodle directly or paste your private Canvas calendar feed to sync assignments and exams automatically.

Does exam readiness predict my actual test score?

Readiness is a practical study prioritization indicator, not a validated prediction of your exam grade. It reflects your completed work and active gaps so you know where to focus.

How does the GPA Calculator work?

You can record course credits and grades, see degree completion progress, and use quick what-if steppers to simulate how upcoming final exam grades impact your cumulative GPA.

Does GapTracker require creating an account?

No. GapTracker does not require an account or login. Your data lives on your device and can sync across your Apple devices using private iCloud if you enable it.
