Effective time managementTime management and self-regulation are critical for student success, yet many university students, particularly in resource-constrained settings, struggle with procrastination and irregular study routines. Lack of technological solutions that are specifically designed to address procrastination and irregular study routines while also accommodating the limited and unreliable internet access and lower-spec devices typical of university settings in the Global South. Guided by the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), a mobile application was developed in Android Studio and integrated with Firebase to support time management and learning habits. The app enables students to schedule tasks, receive reminders, and track study patterns, while visual dashboards encourage reflection and behavior adjustment. A pilot evaluation with five purposively selected students examined usability, functionality, and perceived impact. Students completed an average of 82% of scheduled tasks and studied for 2 h and 15 min daily. Evaluation notes indicated that reminders supported structured routines, reflection panels raised awareness of study balance, and task completion fostered motivation. Functional testing confirmed system reliability, while usability feedback highlighted the app’s intuitive design and minor connectivity challenges. Although limited by the small sample size and absence of baseline or controlControl measures, these findings provide exploratory insights into how mobile applications may support self-regulation and time managementTime management. The study generates hypotheses for larger, controlled studies and contributes early design knowledge for educational technologiesEducational technologies in resource-constrained higher education environments.
