StudyAssist
Self hosted study platform
StudyAssist is a personal study operating system: it tracks courses and class times, manages tasks and schedules, runs Pomodoro focus sessions, monitors screen time, and stores journals, files, and galleries. An admin panel handles accounts, exports, and backups. The whole platform runs from one Docker image: an Express API and a SvelteKit SPA served by a single process, backed by a local SQLite database.
