Due Gooder turns your syllabus into a semester you can actually see. Upload a PDF and we pull out every assignment, exam, and class meeting, then organize it into one clean schedule by course — no typing deadlines in by hand. Then it keeps you ahead of it. A morning summary of what’s due, reminders before each deadline at the intensity you choose, and a heads-up 30 minutes before class starts. Home Screen widgets put what’s next in front of you without opening the app. And when it’s time to actually study, Due Gooder works from your own material. Record a lecture and get chapter-marked audio with AI notes. Turn your slides and readings into flashcard decks or a practice test that feels like the real exam. Keep everything in your Locker and search across all of it. Duey, your AI study assistant, knows your classes and can answer questions about them. Main features • Upload a syllabus and auto-detect assignments, exams, and class times • Every course on one organized calendar, color-coded • Morning summaries, deadline reminders, and pre-class alerts • Home Screen widgets for what’s due today and what’s next • AI lecture recording with chapter-marked notes • AI flashcards and practice tests built from your own materials • Locker storage with AI search across everything you’ve saved • Duey, an AI assistant that knows your schedule • Join a classmate’s course with a share code • Google Calendar sync Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Cinch pulls your assignments and syllabi from Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace (D2L), or Google Classroom and posts them to your Google Calendar in about five minutes. Then it builds a study schedule: a block of time for each assignment, placed around the classes and events already on your calendar. If you miss a study block, Cinch moves it. A block you skipped on Sunday shows up again on Tuesday. You don't have to replan anything. WHAT CINCH DOES • Imports assignments and due dates from your school's LMS • Posts each assignment as a [DUE] event on Google Calendar • Adds [STUDY] blocks with time set aside for each assignment • Works around the classes, work shifts, and events already on your calendar • Reschedules any study block you miss, automatically, overnight WHAT YOU CONTROL • Review every imported assignment so you can confirm nothing was missed • Add any assignments that aren't on your LMS or syllabi • Move, shorten, or delete any study block. They're normal Google Calendar events. Cinch adjusts the rest of your schedule around your changes. YOUR DATA • Cinch reads your existing Google Calendar events only to show your schedule in the app and to find open time for study blocks • Cinch never changes or deletes calendar events it didn't create • Cinch never sells, rents, or shares your data • Delete your account and all your data is permanently deleted • Full policy: https://www.cinchplanner.com/privacy-policy WORKS WITH Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace (D2L), Google Classroom, and Google Calendar. Cinch is for college and university students in the US and Canada. A Google Calendar account is required. Cinch is a subscription with a free trial. Billing is handled by Apple.
