Plannr Turns Syllabi into Reviewable Calendars
An iOS beta app extracts assignments, quizzes, exams, and labs from course syllabi, then prepares them for approval before syncing to Google Calendar.
Field notes
Plannr presents a four-stage pipeline: read the syllabus, extract graded work, review each proposed event, and organize approved dates in a class-specific Google Calendar. Its examples include resolving “Week 3 Friday” into a dated event and handling five sample items with accepted, edited, or declined states. The site says parsing is close but not perfect, making student approval a central part of the workflow rather than an afterthought. The app is offered as an iOS TestFlight beta.
