Is there a student discount?

Yes. Harbor Unlimited is $35 a year if you’re a student, instead of $99. Same Harbor — every app, unlimited notes and devices, OCR search inside your PDFs and photos, encryption, the Web Clipper, the API and CLI. Nothing is held back for the people paying full price.

How to get it

Email help@harbor.my from your school email address and tell us you’re a student. That’s the whole process. A real person reads it and writes back with a coupon code.

Two things worth knowing:

• Your Harbor account doesn’t have to use your school address. Sign up with whatever email you actually want to keep — a personal one is the smarter move, because school addresses tend to evaporate a few months after you graduate, and you don’t want your notes tied to one that’s about to be switched off. We only need the school address on the message you send us.
• No school email? Email us anyway and tell us the situation. We are not running a verification department.

Once you have the code, redeem it in the web app at app.harbor.my — here’s exactly where the coupon box hides. Coupons can’t be entered in the App Store or Google Play versions (Apple’s and Google’s rule, not ours), so subscribe on the web first, then sign in on your phone. It’ll already be Unlimited.

How long it lasts

One year. After that your subscription rolls onto the regular annual price.

Still in school when it runs out? Email us again and we’ll extend it — same address, same one-line email, no new paperwork. We are not going to make you re-prove you’re a student every semester, and we are not going to quietly bill you full price and hope you don’t notice.

The pinky promise

All we ask is that you use Harbor at least a little bit for school. That’s the entire eligibility test, and it runs on the honor system.

What’s in the rest of your notebooks is genuinely none of our business. Class notes and a fantasy football league. Lab write-ups and a running tally of your poker nights. Sixteen recipes, four setlists, and one lecture. Use it for whatever you like — we’re not auditing anybody’s notes, we can’t read the encrypted ones at all, and we’re not about to go rummaging through the rest.

If Harbor turns out not to be your place, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the discounted price too.
