The free assignment tracker your kid keeps opening
A homework tracker works right up until the person it tracks stops filling it in. That is usually week two. StudyQuest360 pays them to keep it up: every assignment logged and turned in earns XP and Quest Keys, and Keys unlock the games.
Free to try as a guest, no account and no email. A linked parent account is free too.
How do you keep track of assignments when your kid won't?
You stop making the list something only they can see, and you stop making it free to ignore. On StudyQuest360 the assignments go on a Quest Board the student runs and a parent dashboard you can glance at. The student adds what's due, marks it done, and gets rewarded for it in game time.
You see what's finished, what's late, and what's coming, without asking. That is the difference between a tracker and a nightly interrogation.
Every assignment, with a due date and a subject
Add it in a few taps: title, subject, due date. Subjects you've used before show up as chips, so a nightly entry takes seconds. The board sorts by what's due, pulls overdue work out on its own, and filters by subject when one class is the one on fire.
Finished work earns XP and Quest Keys
Marking an assignment done is not just a checkbox. It pays XP toward a level and Keys toward the arcade, so the tracker is the thing that opens the games instead of the thing standing between them. That is the whole trick, and it is why the board stays filled in.
Tests get their own lane
Trials are multi-topic reviews with their own study flow, worth double the XP of a normal assignment. Point a kid at one the week before a unit test and the review happens before the night before.
A parent dashboard, not a shared spreadsheet
You see study streaks, XP over time, what's been finished, and what's still open, for up to three students. Enough to notice a stuck week without standing over anyone. The parents page walks through the whole dashboard.
Stuck on one of them? The Oracle is right there
A tracker tells you what's due. It does nothing when the thing that's due makes no sense. Here, the AI homework helper sits next to the board and re-explains the concept using something your kid already likes. It explains; it won't hand over the answer.
Lives on a phone, so the entry happens in the moment
Add it to a phone's home screen and it opens like an app, with an Add Homework shortcut. The assignment goes in when it's assigned, not from memory at eight o'clock.
Sheets, Notion, or an app?
A lot of families get here after building their own tracker. If yours is working, keep it. If it went quiet after the first couple of weeks, here is why, tool by tool.
Google Sheets assignment tracker
A Google Sheets assignment tracker is free, shareable, and yours to shape. It also has no reason to open itself. Nothing happens when a row gets marked done, so the kid stops marking rows. It's a good tool for the parent who keeps it and a chore for the student who is supposed to.
Notion assignment tracker
A Notion assignment tracker is the best looking of the three and the most fun to build, which is part of the problem. The building is the engaging part and the upkeep isn't. If your kid loves Notion, keep it for notes and let something with a reward loop hold the due dates.
Excel assignment tracker
An Excel assignment tracker lives on one machine, usually the parent's. That makes it a record of what you were told, not what the student is doing. Fine for one kid you sit next to every night. Less fine for three.
What an app adds
A reason to come back. Here that reason is XP and game time, and the parent side is built in instead of shared by link. If you want to see how that compares with a dedicated student planner, there's a page on StudyQuest360 vs myHomework.
Is there a free assignment tracker?
Yes, this one. Guest play needs no account and no email, and the board works. A linked parent account is free too and keeps everything saved; it caps game plays and study sessions at three a day. Premium is $5 a month for up to three students and lifts the caps.
The tracker itself is never behind the paywall. The pricing page has the line-by-line split.
For students, by class, by week
An assignment tracker for students
The student owns the board. They add work, mark it done, and see what's next, and the reward for keeping it current goes to them, not to the parent who reminded them. Written for the kid on the students page.
A class assignment tracker
Every assignment carries a subject, and the board filters by it. A kid can look at just math or just the history unit when that's the one going sideways, and a parent can see which subject the late work piles up in.
A weekly assignment tracker
The board sorts by due date with overdue work pulled out on its own. Sunday night, the week is visible on one screen, and Friday's test already has a Trial waiting.
Homework planner, homework tracker, or assignment tracker?
People search all three and mean about the same thing. A homework planner is usually paper or a printable, and it lives with whoever remembers to open it. A tracker is the same list with state attached: done, not done, late.
StudyQuest360 is a tracker with a reward attached, which is the piece that keeps it filled in. The reason a reward works better than a reminder is on the game schooling page.
Questions about assignment trackers
How do I keep track of my kid's assignments?
Give them a board they will use and a dashboard you can see. On StudyQuest360 the student adds each assignment with its due date and subject, marks it done to earn XP, and you check the parent dashboard for what's finished and what's late. No nightly interrogation.
Is there a free assignment tracker app?
Yes. StudyQuest360's tracker is free: guest play needs no account, and a linked parent account is free with daily caps on games and study sessions. Premium lifts the caps for $5 a month, but the tracker is never behind the paywall.
Does it sync with my school's portal?
No. You or your student enter the assignments that matter. That's a deliberate limit: it works with any school, any portal, or no school at all, and nothing at the school has to approve it.
Is Google Sheets good enough for an assignment tracker?
For the parent, often. For the student, rarely past week two, because nothing in a sheet rewards keeping it current. If yours is working, keep it. If it has gone stale, that's the problem this is built for.
Does the assignment tracker work for homeschool?
Yes. Homeschool families enter their own lessons as assignments and the same board, XP, and games apply. Hours and grades can be logged against courses too, which is how the homeschool transcript gets built.
What does a tracker collect about my kid?
As a guest, nothing personal. With a linked account, the assignments and progress you enter, stored on the parent account, encrypted, and never sold. The safety and data page has the plain-language version.
Put tonight's homework on the board
No account, no card. A student can be in as a guest in ten seconds. Link a parent account once it has earned its keep.
