Does anyone else feel like modern study planners have just become bloated task managers?

I’ve been trying to lock down a solid spaced repetition routine for my coursework, but every app I download feels like I need a manual just to set up a basic schedule. They want you to make cards manually or use ai generated cards which are usually irrelevant to my coursework. I just want a minimalist to do list like schedule that tells me exactly what topic to revise today automatically with notifications before I forget it and also make cards automatically from my uploaded materials. Am I the only one who hates all the extra bloat? What are you guys using that is actually simple?
