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.
