Curet is built by students, for the week before everything is due.
Yes. Curet is free and open source.
A PDF, a photo or a text file. It lists every dated exam, quiz, assignment and project, and you choose which go on your Google Calendar. Undated patterns like “quizzes most Fridays” are left out.
No. To catch procrastination it reads only the name of the app in front, on your Mac, and never stores it. You can turn it off in Settings.
No. It only sees the calendars you connect, and nothing else.
On your Mac, in a private file. Calendar requests go to Google and to your Brightspace link. If you turn on chat, your questions and the details it needs go to Google’s Gemini.
Only when you ask. After you sign in with Google and allow it, Curet can add an event you describe. It never edits or deletes the ones you already have.
Yes. Google Calendar or any iCal link works on its own, and Brightspace just adds your due dates.
Recent macOS on Apple silicon. On an Intel Mac you can build it from the source in a few minutes.
Curet is not notarised yet. Right-click it, choose Open, and confirm once.

Download it, paste one calendar link, and the rest of the semester arrives on its own.
