Our Purpose

Help every student achieve their potential—without burnout

We believe academic success shouldn't come at the cost of wellbeing. Centauri exists to make productivity sustainable.

Our Mission

Make student productivity simple, sustainable, and stress-free

Every year, millions of students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they lack systems. They're drowning in deadlines, juggling multiple apps, and burning out trying to keep up.

Centauri's mission is to give every student—regardless of their background, school, or resources—access to the tools and systems that high-performing students use. We want to level the playing field by making great productivity practices accessible to all.

But we're not just about getting more done. We're about getting the right things done, at the right time, in a way that's sustainable. Because a 4.0 GPA means nothing if you're exhausted and miserable getting there.

Our Vision

A world where students thrive, not just survive

Imagine a student who wakes up knowing exactly what to work on today. Who never misses a deadline because their system catches everything. Who has time for friends, hobbies, and sleep because they work efficiently during study time.

That's the future we're building. A world where technology works for students, not against them. Where AI handles the planning so humans can focus on learning. Where academic success and personal wellbeing go hand in hand.

We envision Centauri as the command center for student life—the one place where everything comes together, so students can focus on what matters: actually learning.

The Problem

Why we started

We were students once. We know what it's like to have assignments scattered across five platforms, a calendar that doesn't sync with your to-do list, and that constant anxiety of wondering if you forgot something important.

We tried every productivity app out there. Notion was too complex. Todoist didn't understand school. Google Calendar was fine but didn't connect to anything. We spent more time managing our tools than actually studying.

So we built what we wished existed: a single platform designed specifically for how students actually work. One that connects to the tools schools already use, adds AI to handle the planning, and stays simple enough to actually use every day.

The best productivity system is the one you'll actually use. We're obsessed with making Centauri so simple and helpful that students want to open it every day.

Guiding Principles

The beliefs that shape everything we build

01

Students over features

We don't add features to check boxes. Every addition must genuinely help students accomplish their goals with less friction.

02

Simple by default

Complexity is the enemy of adoption. We start simple and let power users unlock depth, not the other way around.

03

Meet students where they are

We integrate with the tools students already use—Google, Canvas, Classroom—rather than forcing them into our ecosystem.

04

Privacy is non-negotiable

Students trust us with their academic lives. We'll never sell data, train AI on personal info, or compromise that trust.

05

Sustainable success

Productivity that leads to burnout isn't productivity. We build features that promote balance, not obsessive optimization.

06

Always improving

We ship fast, learn from students, and iterate constantly. The Centauri you use next month will be better than today's.

Our Commitments

Promises we make to every Centauri user

Free tier forever

Core features will always be free. We believe every student deserves access to good productivity tools, regardless of budget. Paid plans add advanced features, not paywalled basics.

Your data, your control

Export your data anytime. Delete your account completely. We don't lock you in, and we don't hold your information hostage. You own your data, period.

We listen to students

Our roadmap is shaped by user feedback. We read every support message, survey response, and feature request. The product you use is built on real student input.

Continuous improvement

We ship updates weekly. Bug fixes, new features, performance improvements—we're constantly making Centauri better based on how students actually use it.

Where we're headed

The journey from idea to impact

2024

The Beginning

Centauri started as a side project to solve our own productivity struggles. The first version was rough, but it worked—and friends started asking to use it.

Early 2025

Finding Product-Market Fit

We launched publicly and learned what students actually needed. Google integrations became our differentiator. The AI assistant started taking shape.

Now

Growing & Improving

Thousands of students use Centauri daily. We're refining the core experience, expanding integrations, and building the features users request most.

2026

Expanding Reach

School and university partnerships. More integrations (Canvas, Blackboard, Schoology). Mobile apps for iOS and Android. International expansion.

Beyond

The Long-Term Vision

Centauri becomes the default productivity platform for students worldwide. AI that truly understands your learning style. A sustainable business that puts students first.
