Blackboard doesn't talk to Apple Calendar natively. SyllabusAI bridges that gap — paste your syllabus or subscribe via Blackboard's iCal URL and every due date syncs to your iPhone, iPad, and Mac automatically.
No account. No setup. Two ways to import — paste the syllabus text or use your Blackboard iCal URL. Either way it ends up in Apple Calendar.
Copy the syllabus text from your Blackboard course, or go to Tools → Calendar → External Calendar → Subscribe to get your ICS URL.
Drop the syllabus text or iCal URL into SyllabusAI. Every exam, assignment, and due date gets pulled out and tagged in seconds.
Open Apple Calendar → File → New Calendar Subscription and paste the URL. Syncs to iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud with no extra steps.
Pasting text works great for syllabi. The iCal URL picks up everything Blackboard tracks — including assignment due dates that aren't in the syllabus doc.
Open your Blackboard course, find the syllabus document, select all and copy. Paste it into SyllabusAI. Works with PDFs and pasted text alike.
Paste text →In Blackboard go to Tools → Calendar → External Calendar → Subscribe. Copy the ICS URL shown and paste it into SyllabusAI. Then subscribe to the resulting .ics in Apple Calendar.

Straight answers. No fluff.
Yes. Two ways: paste your Blackboard syllabus text, or use Blackboard's iCal subscribe URL. Either way you get a .ics file you subscribe to in Apple Calendar — and it shows up on every Apple device.
In Blackboard, go to Tools → Calendar → External Calendar → Subscribe. Copy the ICS URL shown. Paste it into SyllabusAI's iCal URL field.
On Mac: open Apple Calendar, go to File → New Calendar Subscription, paste the .ics URL, hit Subscribe. On iPhone or iPad: Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar, then paste the URL.
Yes. Subscribe once on any Apple device and iCloud pushes it to all of them. Your iPhone, iPad, and Mac all show the same Blackboard deadlines without any extra steps.
If you subscribed via an iCal URL, Apple Calendar periodically re-fetches it so changes appear automatically. If you imported a one-time .ics file, re-run SyllabusAI to pick up changes.
Yes. Free. No credit card, no trial period, no paywall. Paste your Blackboard syllabus, get your calendar events. Apple Calendar is also free and built into every Apple device.
No. Your syllabus text is processed to extract dates and events, then discarded. We don't store, log, or sell your content.
Same tool, every LMS. Pick yours.
Takes about 10 seconds. No account, no setup. Every deadline on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
