Courses
Online courses with a weekly target
NPTEL, Coursera, Udemy — progress, hours per week and a reminder before the deadline.
MITE · Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering
Your semester, planned
down to the hour.
Add your subjects once. Layora lays out the week around your classes, pushes it to Google Calendar, and keeps every deadline, note and certificate where you can find it at 2 AM the night before.

Inside the workspace
Six features, one screen at a time.
- Zen mode
- Browser extension
- Weekly planner
- Google Calendar
- Tasks
- Events
- Leaderboard
Zen mode
One black screen and a timer.
Everything else gets out of the way — sidebar, header, notifications, the lot. Space pauses, Esc leaves, and the session counts towards the streak on your dashboard.
- Space to pause · Esc to leave
- Focus and break lengths are yours
- Logs to your streak
Browser extension
Your links and courses, from any tab.
Published on the Firefox Add-ons site. Pin it once and your quick launchers and course list are a click away without opening the dashboard — and a link you add from the popup shows up in Layora too.
- One press to connect, no keys to paste
- Opens the course itself, not a page about it
- Firefox now, Chromium by hand
Weekly planner
The week builds itself around your classes.
Add your subjects once — code, credits, how hard they are. Layora fills the gaps between lectures with focus sessions sized to your Pomodoro rhythm, and calls out any deadline it could not find time for.
- Sized to your focus timer
- Reorder or delete any block
- Regenerates when subjects change
Google Calendar
It lands in the calendar you already check.
One button writes the week into Google Calendar in your own time zone. Change a block and sync again — Layora clears the copies it wrote before, so a fortnight of edits never becomes a fortnight of duplicates.
- Writes with an IANA time zone
- Wipe a day or the whole week
- Course deadlines sync too
Tasks
Every deadline, with the time it actually took.
Give a task an estimate and start the timer when you sit down. The planner uses what you log to decide how much room the next one needs.
- Estimate vs. logged minutes
- Grouped by subject
- Feeds the next timetable
Events
Department notices and your own reminders, one calendar.
Assessments, project reviews and placement drives are posted by the department to your year. Your own reminders sit on the same grid in a different colour, and repeat weekly if you tell them to.
- Posted to your year only
- Daily, weekly or monthly repeats
- Push notification on the day
Leaderboard
Your coding week, ranked inside your year.
Connect LeetCode, GitHub and CodeChef. Every night at 10 PM Layora reads the public profiles, scores solves and contributions, and ranks you against your own year group — nobody else.
- Synced nightly at 22:00 IST
- Public profile data only
- Ranked within your year

Daylight
A light mode that is warm paper, not a white wall.
The whole workspace switches for a bright classroom: paper ground, brass labels, a highlighter wash on the page you are working from. Every label was checked against the background it sits on, so nothing turns to grey mist at noon.
Four accent colours · dd/mm/yyyy dates everywhere · 24-hour clock optional
The rest of the workspace
Four more pages you will actually open.
Certificates
Certificates, sorted for placement season
NPTEL, courses and competitions, each a link to the file in your own Google Drive.
Resources
Notes filed by subject
Every PDF indexed under the subject it belongs to, stored in your Drive, not on our server.
Shared library
What your year has already found
Question papers and cheat sheets uploaded by classmates, with the uploader on every row.
On your phone
Add it to your home screen and reminders arrive like any other app.
Layora installs as a web app, so a block starting in ten minutes shows up as a notification on the phone in your pocket — no email, no inbox rules.
Who gets in
A closed workspace for one department.
Layora is not open to the internet. Your lecturer keeps the roster, and only the addresses on it can sign in — checked before a single page of the workspace is sent to your browser.
01
Your college account
Sign in with the @mite.ac.in Google account the college issued you. There is no password to make and no other way in.
02
Your year, from the roster
The roster decides whether you are 2nd, 3rd or 4th year. That is what the scoreboard, the shared library and department events are scoped to.
03
Not on it yet?
Ask your lecturer to add your address. Until then the workspace answers with a page that tells you exactly that.
Google API scopes & data boundaries
Scope requested
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.eventsSensitive scope · create and remove the events Layora itself wrote.
What it is used for
Writing your timetable blocks and course deadlines into your calendar, and deleting those same events when you re-sync or wipe a week. Layora’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
What it never does
It does not read your existing events, does not store your calendar on our servers, and does not sell, rent or transfer your Google user data to anyone. Files you upload go to your own Drive — Layora keeps the link, not the file.
