Cadenza reads every syllabus the moment you connect Quercus, then composes a plan around your lectures, tutorials, and the hours you actually study. Before the midterm, not after.
A Monday morning brief. Your syllabus becomes today's tasks, ranked. The readiness score moves as you work, so you know where you stand before the next deadline lands.
Works with every UofT course on Quercus.

In just five minutes. Here's how it works.
Generate a read-only Quercus token, paste it into Cadenza, close the tab. You have now done the hardest thing you will ever do in this app.
No UTORid. No password. No write access to your Quercus. Revoke in one tap, any time.
Cadenza pulled four courses from Quercus and guessed which ones you’re actually taking this term. Uncheck any you aren’t. That’s the whole decision.
We don’t show all-time enrollment. Only what’s active this Fall. No scroll through your academic history, no archive cleanup.
By the time your coffee cools, your whole term is plotted. Every reading paced. Every midterm surfaced eight days out. Every weak topic flagged the moment it appears.
The next four months are Cadenza’s problem. You wake up Monday already ahead.
Five minutes of you. A term of us.
From one token to a whole term — before your coffee cools.
Any week. Any hour. Any course. Scroll a UofT term, from first reading response to last final.
Intro to Management. Twelve chapter readings, a team project, a midterm, a final. Every weighting, every real due date, pulled from Quercus the morning your term opened. You walk into your first lecture already ahead.
Fact: the team project above is how Cadenza began. First prototype was Spark — an AI calendar we built for an RSM100 case competition in first year. Two years of dogfooding later, this is what it grew into.
Four teammates, one deck, the rubric pulled from Week 04 of your syllabus. Section outline split across four calendars, every handoff dated. You submit with margin, not minutes.
Three gaps named, not guessed: Porter’s five forces, motivation theories, operations and supply. You spend the week closing them. By Tuesday the number reads 94.
Every chapter reviewed twice by reading week, every past paper timed, every flashcard spaced. Cadenza logged 18 hours across 13 weeks instead of 18 hours on exam eve. You slept last night.
Notion is where study plans go to die. ChatGPT forgets what's due tomorrow. Google Calendar shows you lectures but doesn't know what to study for them. Cadenza does what none of them can: it reads your courses and tells you what to do on Tuesday night.

“In second year I watched half of my class fall behind before midterms. Not because they weren't smart. Nobody ever turned a twenty-page syllabus into a plan for the week ahead. The information was always there. What was missing was a way to live inside it. Cadenza is the thing I wish I'd had that year.”
