Scarlet
How does Scarlet combine task management and social features?
Scarlet lets you create to-do lists for classes, jobs, or errands, and also join campus communities or interest groups. You can post questions to a community board and get help from other students, all without switching between different apps.
Can I customize the app's appearance and theme?
Yes, Scarlet offers soft color options and a dark theme you can enable to save battery. You can change the look right after setup, making it easy to personalize the app to your taste.
Why is the wellness tracker so limited, and can I track sleep with it?
The wellness tracker only lets you log water intake and your mood with an emoji, so it’s not designed for sleep tracking. If you need detailed sleep or habit tracking, you’ll likely need a separate app for that.
Are the ads in community feeds disruptive, and can I remove them?
Ads do appear in community feeds and are labeled, but they can be annoying, especially when browsing content like meal prep ideas. There is no option in the free version to remove them, but they don’t interrupt your task lists.
How does Scarlet compare to using GroupMe or a notes app for student planning?
Unlike juggling a notes app and multiple GroupMe chats, Scarlet keeps your to-dos and campus social groups in one place. It feels more focused and less chaotic, with direct help from peers rather than noisy group chat threads.
