CompassHub

CompassHub is a calm, organized home for a university application you are running yourself. Build your school list, break every application into dated tasks, and keep essays, test scores, recommenders, activities, honors, costs and visa steps in one place — on iPhone and iPad, in English or Simplified Chinese. WHO IT IS FOR SCHOOL LIST AND ROUNDS • Add each school and program with degree, country and the round you are applying in: Early Decision, Early Decision II, Early Action, Restrictive Early Action, Regular Decision, Rolling Admission, UK undergraduate rounds and US high school rounds • Mark each school reach, match or safety and see the balance of your list at a glance • Record application fees, portals, rankings, acceptance rates, tuition, location and your own reasons for choosing a school • Set a buffer of 7, 14 or 21 days so your personal target date lands ahead of the real deadline CHECKLISTS THAT BUILD THEMSELVES Add a school and CompassHub drafts its checklist: application form, transcripts, personal statement, CV, letters of recommendation, credential evaluation, official score reports, interview prep, financial documents, application fee and a final review — each dated back from the deadline. Every item is editable and deletable. Record a decision and follow-up tasks appear for deferrals, waitlists and offers. ESSAYS Track Personal Statements, Statements of Purpose, Why School essays, supplements, short answers, writing samples and more. Word count against each limit, draft to revising to polishing to final, version notes, review status and file attachments. SCORES AND SCORE REPORTS Log results with section scores, test dates and expiry dates. Track which report went to which school, how it was sent, what it cost and whether delivery is confirmed. RECOMMENDERS, ACTIVITIES AND HONORS Follow each recommender from first ask to letter submitted. Record activities with role, hours per week, weeks per year and a description with a live character count. List honors from school to international level. MONEY AND VISAS Track exam fees, application fees, score sending, credential evaluations, visa costs and deposits across currencies. Follow F-1, J-1, UK Student, Canadian study permit, Subclass 500 and other student visas through document prep, interview and decision, with passport expiry in view. STAY AHEAD OF DEADLINES Optional local reminders, and optional syncing of deadlines to your system calendar. The dashboard shows what is urgent, overall task completion and, once offers arrive, a side-by-side comparison with commitment deadlines. YOUR DATA Your records live on this device and sync through your own iCloud private database whenever it is signed in to an Apple Account — your data on your own devices, no CompassHub account, no server of ours in between. Syncing follows your iOS iCloud settings; attachment files stay on the device that added them. Export everything as JSON, or your school list as a CSV for Numbers or any spreadsheet app. Clear all data from Settings any time. CHINA MAINLAND: Generative AI entry is disabled for China App Store installs; use manual entry. OPTIONAL AI ENTRY Instead of typing a program's requirements by hand, paste the text and have it turned into structured fields. This uses your own model service: add any compatible chat/completions endpoint, model name and API key in Settings, and your text goes from this device straight to that provider over HTTPS, never through a CompassHub server. Your key stays in this device's Keychain. Nothing is sent until you read the disclosure, tick the consent box and confirm. A source URL you save stays on your device. Everything the model returns is editable before you save it, and every field can be entered by hand instead. CompassHub organizes your application. It does not advise you on where to apply, and it does not predict results. Privacy policy: https://compasshub.cc/privacy Support: [email protected]
