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. FREE • Paste your Canvas .ics feed and see today's schedule • Live "next class" card with countdown • Small Home Screen widget • Live Activity / Dynamic Island countdown • Automatic background refresh so schedule changes show up WHAT'S NEXT? PREMIUM — $0.99/month or $9.99/year • The medium Home Screen widget and Lock Screen widgets • Make it yours: Light / Dark theme, 24-hour clock, card layout, and a colour for every course with a hue slider • Pre-class reminders — a notification a few minutes before each class The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage it in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions.
