This is a story about a web application called CampusHub, designed specifically for college students who are tired of managing multiple apps, WhatsApp groups, and PDF schedules. The app was created by the reporter's friend and college roommate Alex, who was overwhelmed throughout his semesters.

CampusHub aims to solve several problems faced by college students. These problems include attendance anxiety, scattered deadlines, CGPA guesswork, and general campus chaos. The app provides a clean, private, offline-first personal workspace where students can keep all their daily college life information in one unified place.

Key features of CampusHub include an attendance and safe bunk meter, a weekly class timetable with interactive scheduling, an assignments and tasks tracker, a GPA and cumulative CGPA estimator, a study vault and campus links, a student pocket budget, daily canteen menu, and an emergency directory. The app prioritizes privacy and has zero bloat, being 100% client-side with no trackers. Users can access it by opening index.html in any modern web browser and can even export or import their data using JSON format.
