Ever realize at 11pm something might be due tomorrow, but you're not sure? So you check Canvas, dig through your email, and open a 47-page syllabus just to find out. That's why we built DormWay while at University of Michigan. DormWay pulls your syllabi, Canvas assignments, and calendar into one place and shows you exactly what's due and when. Do Now. Up Next. Due Soon. Always current. WHAT DORMWAY DOES • Syllabus breakdown in minutes: assignments, deadlines, exam dates, grading weights, late policy. No reading 47 pages. • Canvas auto-sync: every assignment from every class, no manual entry, no checking "just in case." • Ask Ace anything about your courses: "When's my ECON 301 final?" "What do I need on the final to get a B?" Answers come from your actual syllabi, not the internet. • See the whole semester: conflicts, crunch weeks, and back-to-back deadlines show up before they become a crisis. WHY STUDENTS TRUST DORMWAY • Works at your school. No IT approval or university partnership needed. Canvas, Moodle, and Brightspace D2L supported. • Your data stays yours. We never sell it and never share it with your university. Read-only access to your LMS. Delete everything anytime. • Built by a student. Riley (23, University of Michigan) built DormWay because he kept missing things buried in syllabi. He still uses it every day. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your syllabi in the app, or email them to syllabus@dormway.app 2. Connect Canvas, Moodle, or Brightspace in one tap 3. Open DormWay and see what's next No setup to maintain. It updates itself. Stop wondering what's due. Download DormWay.
