A Level Computer science NEA help

Hi guys!!
I'm in year 12 doing OCR A level computer science.
My teacher said we need to have ideas for our NEA by April.
I need help from other students doing Computer science (or anyone).
I'm aiming for 60+ so maybe something a bit conplex.
Thanks!

I did a student password manager for my NEA and I got a 70, so you could try that. But here are some other ideas as well:

Study planner / revision scheduler for a level students
Personal finance tracker for students
Flashcard learning system with spaced repetition
Habit tracker with progress statistics
Recipe finder based on ingredients you have
Library/book tracker with recommendations
University application tracker for year 13 students
Workout planner and fitness progress tracker
Local event finder and planner
Digital notebook with tagging and search
Language learning vocabulary trainer
Campus or school navigation/pathfinding system
Task manager with priority algorithms
Simple timetable generator for students

Some tips:
Pick a project that solves a real problem for a specific user (problem solving)
Make sure it has enough complexity so things like data structures, algorithms, file/database storage and searching/sorting etc.
Dont pick projects that are too simple like very basic games or quizzes unless ofc you add more complex features.
Think about whether you can test it with real users and get feedback for your evaluation.
Choose something you think you'll actually stay interested in because you'll be working on it for a while.
Make sure it is a manageable project.

Also make sure the project is something that allows you to demonstrate the skills needed for the nea like problem solving, programming, database management and GUI design.

I would also recommend you look at the nea project examples online and do more research before you decide. There are lots of information and guidance on this online so read the specification carefully, consider all the requirements, and pick something that fits best!

Good luck!

Thank you soo much for the ideas! I've found a feww from here i can later choose one. I'll check out the websites also.

If i may ask, what language did you use?
I know and I'm really good with python. I started learning tkinter late last year so i can do some things for the GUI.
