What's Next? turns your Canvas calendar into a glanceable answer to one question: what class is next, and where? Paste your Canvas calendar feed link once. What's Next? reads it, pulls in your courses, and asks you for the room number and meeting times for each one. From then on your Today screen shows a live "next class" card — course, building, room, and a countdown — and the same thing sits on your Home Screen in a widget and in the Dynamic Island. Everything runs on your device. No account, no ads, nothing uploaded.
