Important work gets buried.
Assignments can live deep inside modules or never appear in the Canvas to-do list.
Tardy features
The details behind a plan you can actually follow.
Tardy combines coursework intelligence, workload context, calendar availability, and schedule-aware tools so the next step is always clearer.
The planning gap
Canvas tells you when work is due. It does not tell you when to do it.
A deadline is not a schedule.
Due dates do not account for classes, work, appointments, or personal commitments.
Calendars still need manual planning.
Students must translate every assignment into time blocks and decide what comes first.
Long work is easy to underestimate.
A complete task list can still leave you wondering what to start tonight.
Tardy turns scattered academic information into one prioritized, time-aware plan.
The complete flow
From scattered coursework to a day you can follow.
Four steps connect what is due with the time you actually have.
Connect your coursework
Connect Canvas, choose which courses Tardy should use, and set the classes that matter most. The current beta uses a Canvas personal access token stored securely on your device.
Bring in your calendar
Connect Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, or import a compatible calendar file. Tardy checks when you are already busy before it plans study time.
Let Tardy organize the work
Tardy finds upcoming and hidden assignments, weighs deadlines and course importance, and estimates how much focused work each task may need.
Follow My Day
Generate a practical plan around classes, work, and personal commitments. Study blocks appear on your calendar so the calendar remains the schedule source of truth.

Available in the current beta
One planner, grounded in the work and time you already have.
Each part of Tardy contributes to one job: building a realistic academic plan.
Coursework intelligence
See the assignments Canvas forgets to surface.
Tardy compares your course assignments with the Canvas to-do feed and calls attention to due work that never appeared there.
- Hidden-assignment detection
- Course inclusion controls
- High, normal, and low course importance
- Priority ordering and locally cached data
Workload context
Go beyond a due date.
Tardy analyzes assignment details, grading context, deadlines, and course importance to estimate effort and help decide what deserves attention first.
- Plain-language assignment summaries
- Importance and priority analysis
- Estimated focused work time
- Grade-impact context when available
- Overdue-work handling
About estimates: AI estimates are planning aids, not guarantees. Adjust the plan as you learn how long the work actually takes.
Calendar-aware planning
A plan that knows when you are busy.
Tardy combines assignments, calendar events, work schedules, and saved preferences into a practical timeline.
- AI-first planning with an on-device fallback
- Fixed-event conflict protection
- Overdue-first planning and carryover
- Preferences such as avoiding homework on weekends
- Calendar synchronization, summaries, and deadline alerts
Grounded chat
Chat with a planner that can update your schedule.
Ask what is due, create a reminder, schedule a study block, or move an event. Tardy uses your assignments, calendar, and saved preferences instead of answering from a blank chat.
“What should I work on tonight?”“Move my essay block to Thursday.”“Remind me to email my professor tomorrow.”“Do not schedule homework on weekends.”
Tardy does not submit assignments or change grades. AI responses and fresh synchronization require a network connection.
Syllabus scanner
Scan the syllabus once. Stop searching through it all semester.
Paste text or use a PDF to extract exam dates, office hours, attendance rules, late-work policies, and professor contact information.
- Exam and office-hour extraction
- Attendance and late-work policies
- Instructor information
- Review recognized exams before adding them to assignments and the calendar
Why Tardy
More than a to-do list. More practical than a blank calendar.

- You still prioritize everything
Tardy
Turns both into a plan.
- Connects coursework and calendar context
- Finds hidden work and estimates effort
- Creates study blocks around commitments
- Adjusts through chat and calendar actions
