I led the end-to-end design of a daily study planner integrated into the distraction-free LearnOS Launcher by Physics Wallah.
The goal was to help students move beyond focus mode and build clarity, structure, and consistency in their study routine — all within the same ecosystem.

THE SPARK

Context

Context

Students want to study, but their phones pull them into distractions.

Students want to study, but their phones pull them into

distractions.

We built LearnOS — a custom

launcher that turns phones into focus-first study tools..

Focus alone wasn’t enough. Students lacked structure and daily planning.

The Opportunity

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The Problem

Currently, LearnOS Launcher helps reduce distractions, but it lacks an integrated planning system that guides students toward their goals, tracks their progress, and reinforces study habits. Despite having the intent to focus and study, students often find themselves disorganized, distracted, and overwhelmed due to lack of structured planning and scattered digital tools.

What We Aimed To Solve

Organize their day with a

centralized task list

Integrate Tapasya sessions

with defined goals

Track task progress and

completion consistently

Build habits around planning

and time-blocking

Stay motivated with nudges,

reminders, and rewards

THE PUZZLE PIECES FALLING INTO PLACE

As a designer, I knew one thing — the planner couldn’t feel like a feature. It had to feel like a natural extension of the student’s learning journey. Here’s how we approached it:

Business Perspective

It The Planner Home is the central place where students manage their day. It’s designed to give clarity, reduce cognitive load, and encourage routine. It includes:

Focused Sessions

Progress Summary

Chronological list of today’s tasks

Floating CTA to add task quickly

Homescreen

Progress Summary

Task Creation With Tapasya

🙌🏻

Completed Task: when all the subtasks and

the title has been marked as checked

😌

Upcoming Task: those tasks scheduled for

later today or any future time, unless

already marked as completed.

😓

Overdue Task: those past tasks which have

not been completed. If a task is partially

completed, it will be marked as overdue

This was the aha! moment.

They didn’t need more tools — they needed fewer, but more intelligent and intentional ones.

As a designer, I knew one thing — the planner couldn’t feel like a feature. It had to feel like a natural extension of the student’s learning journey. Here’s how we approached it:

Broad Requirement

The user desires to track their daily tasks consistently to improve their daily planning and achieve tangible learning outcomes.

The user wants to create a task and schedule a Tapasya session for the same. User can also utilise Instant Tapasya, to initiate a Tapasya session in a snap

The user wants to promote their physical and mental well-being by utilisation of health reminders.

User wants to connect with other Tapasvi and be part of a larger community

Now, it was time to move from why to how — and begin designing a solution students would actually use.

SOLUTION AND FINAL DESIGN

In Phase 1, we introduced a structured task creation flow with Tapasya Mode integration. It allowed students to plan their day, schedule focused sessions, and stay consistent.

We integrated the Planner directly into the LearnOS home screen widget.

Task Creation With Tapasya

We needed to build a planning experience that would

✦ Make task creation simple and fast.

✦ Merge tasks with Tapasya where appropriate.

✦ Help students see a clear difference between focus time and general to-dos.

2-in-1 Task Creation Flow: one flow, two modes — with and without Tapasya.

There are 3 easy ways for students to enter Tapasya:

To help students plan better and stay focused with Tapasya, we redesigned key parts of LearnOS to make scheduling, starting, and tracking sessions simple and distraction-free.

✦ Conflict Detection: If the selected task time overlaps with an existing one, the user sees a bottom sheet explaining the conflict, with options to Override or Skip.

✦ Offline Creation Support: Tapasya tasks can be created offline. Conflicts are handled locally and resolved once the device is reconnected.

✦ Subtle Nudges: To guide behaviour without interrupting, we included toast prompts.

✦ Fully Editable Unlike Tapasya tasks, normal tasks remain editable even after their scheduled time. Users can update content, timing, subtasks, or delete freely.

Normal Task Creation

Normal Task Creation

While Tapasya Mode supports deep focus sessions, we also needed to account for lighter, everyday tasks that don’t require strict attention. From a UX perspective, the normal task creation flow was designed to be fast, editable, and easy to repeat.

Talk Design Over Chai?

If you’ve scrolled this far, maybe we’re meant to chat.

Normal tasks are those that are not linked to Tapasya Mode. These tasks are meant for general to-dos like casual reading, short reminders, or lightweight activities that don’t require deep focus.
