Turn your syllabus into a calendar

Can AI turn a syllabus into calendar events?

Yes. Upload up to six files at once:

• Documents: PDF, DOCX, PowerPoint, text, Markdown or HTML
• Images: a photo or screenshot, as PNG, JPG or WebP
• Calendar files: .ics or .ical

Nibit reads them and finds five kinds of event: classes, exams, deadlines, tasks and other events. It picks up rooms, office hours and course codes too, and groups everything by course. Files are read once to fill your calendar and are never stored.

Do I get to check what it found?

Yes. Nothing is added until you say so. The review screen lists everything it found with a checkbox for each, and you add the ones you keep.

• Doubtful dates are flagged. If a date is unclear, Nibit says why and leaves it unticked, with a field to fix it.
• Optional items start unticked. Office hours, for example.
• Classes with no dates get your term dates. Set when the term starts and ends, and which days the class runs.
• Last term's syllabus still works. Choose to move it onto your current term, or keep the original dates.

Added something by mistake? Everything from one import for a course can be deleted at once.

How does it handle weekly classes and holidays?

A class that meets every week becomes one repeating series with an end date, even if the syllabus lists every session separately. Holidays and breaks become no-class days, and the series skips them.

You can also make repeating events yourself: daily, weekly on chosen days, or monthly, ending on a date, after a number of times, or never. Edit or delete one occurrence, or the whole series. Times stay correct across daylight saving changes.

Can I connect Canvas, Google Classroom or Moodle?

Yes, if they give you a calendar link. Paste an http, https or webcal link to an .ics calendar and Nibit subscribes to it, up to five feeds. Feeds refresh when you open the calendar if they're more than six hours old, or whenever you press refresh.

Feed events are replaced each time the feed refreshes, so edits you make to them in Nibit won't stick.

What happens after my exams are on the calendar?

Each exam you add gets a "Plan for it" button that starts a study plan for that exam. The planner treats your classes and other timed events as busy, and fits study sessions around them.

Can it remind me about events?

Yes, while Nibit is open. Set a reminder from the start of an event up to a day before, and it appears in Nibit's notifications and, if you allow it, as a system notification. There are no email or push reminders when Nibit is closed.

How much does it cost?

Free limits reset every Monday. Prices are in US dollars and exclude tax, except in the EU, where Pro is $15 a month or $105 a year including VAT. The full plans table is on the home page.

What it doesn't do

• It doesn't sync out to other calendars. Events come into Nibit, from files and feeds, but Nibit can't export to or sync with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.
• Scanned PDFs need a photo instead. A PDF that's only scanned images is turned away; take a photo or screenshot of the timetable and upload that.
• Some repeat rules are simplified. From .ics files, daily, weekly and monthly repeats come through. Yearly and "second Tuesday" style rules keep only their first date, and the import says so.
• Reminders need the app open. See above.

Questions people ask

How do I set up a whole semester?

Add every course's syllabus and timetable in the first week, then start a study plan for each exam. The semester guide walks through it.

Does it work with a photo of a printed timetable?

Yes. Take a photo or screenshot and upload it as an image.

Are my files stored?

No. Files are read once to fill your calendar and are not kept. The events you add are saved to your account.

Are my files used to train AI?

No. Nothing you put in Nibit or send through its AI features is used to train Nibit's or OpenAI's models. The Privacy Policy has the details.
