Free review stays local; Pro is a one-time unlock for Calendar and Reminder export. DeadlineNest: Class Planner helps students turn syllabus PDFs, images, or pasted text into a private semester plan. Import a syllabus, review every detected date with its source snippet, confirm only the rows you trust, then export to an .ics file or write confirmed rows to Calendar and Reminders with a one-time Pro unlock. The app is local-first in v1. It does not require an account, does not upload syllabus files, and does not write to Calendar or Reminders until you choose a target and confirm. Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase ($6.99) that unlocks Calendar and Reminder export β€” there is no subscription and no recurring charge. Use Restore Purchases to re-enable Pro on a new device.

About

Simple Schedule

Features
Read full description

Simple Schedule turns a month of repeat events into a few taps. Create templates for the things you do again and again: work shifts, classes, school pickup, the gym, family dinners. Pick one, then tap or drag across the days it happens. Different templates can share a day, so your work, the kids' school and family plans all fit together. Publish the month to the calendar you already use: iCloud, Google, or any calendar on your iPhone. Each template can go to its own calendar. Change a day later and tap Update Calendar; the same event is updated, never duplicated. β€’ Edit just one day: new times, a different location, notes, or slide it earlier or later β€’ All-day templates for vacations, days off and custody days β€’ Address suggestions, so iOS Calendar can give Time to Leave alerts β€’ See what's already on your calendars, and edit or delete it β€’ Undo and redo, light and dark mode, VoiceOver and Dynamic Type β€’ Export any month as an .ics file No account, no ads, no tracking. Your schedule stays on your iPhone. Free, with optional tips that unlock nothing.
