About Arcavelo

Hi, I'm Jacob, a student at Hope College. I built Arcavelo, an all-in-one planner for college students, so every week moves you toward the outcome you want.

Why I built it

Ten apps, and none of them talked to each other

I was a mess freshman year. I came into college ready to hit the ground running and do whatever it took to get good grades and start the year off right. To an extent, I did that. I tried my best, but staying organized and focused while living with ADHD is challenging. To find a solution, I attended help sessions and tried various organization apps, even spending upward of $50 a month on products promising a cure, though none worked.

By the end of my freshman year, I had made it through, but I still hadn't found an organization system that worked for me. So, I decided to build one myself. Over the summer, I began developing Arcavelo, starting by brainstorming everything I wanted in an organization app: seamless integration with the Google ecosystem, grade and assignment tracking, habit and goal management, and an all-in-one centralized dashboard. From there, I started building.

I went through many iterations to ensure the app was intuitive and easy to scan for quickly finding assignments. Once the school year started, everything began coming together, and with help from my friends, the product you see today was created.

What we promise

How Arcavelo is built

One place, not ten apps

Classes, assignments, grades, your degree, clubs and goals live together, so they never disagree with each other.

Your data isn't the product

No ads, ever. Your data is never sold, never used for ads and never used to train AI. The Privacy Policy says so in writing.

The math is exact

Grades and GPA are calculated by the app from your syllabus weights and scores, never estimated by AI.

Free where it counts

Classes, assignments, grades, Google sync and degree progress are free, and stay free.

The name

Change your academic trajectory

Arcavelo is pronounced ARC-ah-VELL-oh. The tagline is the whole idea: every week in Arcavelo should move you toward where you want to end up, whether that's the grade, the GPA or the degree, on time.
