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.

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.

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.

05Why Cadenza
The tools you already use don't read syllabi.
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.

06A note from the founder
FounderWMWesley Meynen
“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.”

07Frequently asked
Cadenza reads your syllabi and schedule the same way Google Calendar reads an .ics file. It plans your week, it doesn't write or submit anything to Quercus. Every AI note cites your own lectures and readings back to you, which is how UofT expects you to study. It's study software, not an AI writing tool.
Never. You generate a personal API token inside Quercus and give Cadenza only that. You can revoke it in one click. Your UTORid password stays with you. Cadenza only reads public course material, never your grades, submissions, or messages.
Nothing right now — the waitlist is free to join and there's no paid tier yet. Cadenza is pre-compliance, awaiting formal review with Instructure (Canvas) and the University of Toronto before product access opens. Pricing will be decided after approvals land, with any paid tier structured to work inside the compliance agreements.
Everything stays in your account. We never sell it, never use it to train outside models, and you can export or delete it any time. Data is encrypted at rest on Supabase; migration to Supabase's Canadian region (Montréal / ca-central-1) is scheduled as a pre-launch prerequisite before UofT institutional access. Full details on /landingpage/compliance.
Yes. Cadenza writes your plan to a read-only calendar feed you can subscribe to from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. Your existing calendar entries (lectures, tutorials, shifts) feed back in so Cadenza schedules study blocks around them.
Cadenza parses whatever is on Quercus. PDF syllabus, module descriptions, announcements, even attached readings. If your prof posts nothing until week 4, Cadenza fills in as the semester unfolds. You don't lose anything for starting late, and you can still join mid-semester.
Honestly: when approvals land. Cadenza depends on a Canvas API partnership with Instructure and a data-access agreement with UofT. Both are in review. No firm date until those are signed. I'm a 2nd-year at Rotman Commerce so I'll be at UofT through 2028. If Cadenza ever stopped, you'd get 60 days notice and a one-click export of every plan, note, and flashcard.
Get in linefor Fall 2026.
The Fall 2026 UofT cohort is capped and invitation-only. Leave your email to hold a place. We'll reach out the moment Instructure and the University of Toronto sign off.
