A day in your life at UMD

😴7:45 AM

Alarm didn't go off. CMSC351 starts in 15. Is the 104 even running?

📱Between classes

Checking 4 apps to find ONE open seat in CMSC216. Testudo crashes. Again.

🍽️5:30 PM

"what's for dinner" in 3 group chats. No one knows. Walk to south diner. It's closed.

📚11 PM

Canvas says assignment due tomorrow. You thought it was Thursday. It's Tuesday.

🚌Freezing at the stop

Transit app says 104 in 2 min. It's been 2 min for 10 minutes.

😤Registration day

4.0 GPA but 87th in line. Every section of 351 fills before your time slot.

10+ apps. None of them talk to each other.
None of them know you.

What Testudo can do

Gets smarter every week

Not bloatware. Features you actually use.

"hey yo, you got a 9am in 45 min. 104 bus in 12 min. get up." — knows your schedule and your bus route.

COMING SOON
