SyllabusSpy turns course PDFs into calendars
A browser-based tool extracts due dates, exams, readings, labs, and days off from a syllabus PDF, then sends them to Google, Outlook, Apple, or any calendar that accepts an .ics file.
Why it surfaced
The useful detail is the review table: every extracted date sits beside the syllabus line it came from, with uncertain entries flagged for correction. SyllabusSpy also says the PDF stays in the browser and uses plain rules rather than a language model, making a narrow student chore feel unusually transparent.
