Isn't that just.. a calendar?

  This is what I did. Create a ‘Uni’ calendar and fill it with your class days and times - with repeats used as necessary. Irritatingly, Siri doesn’t distinguish between calendars so you can’t reel off just classes, but you can ask about the day or the next ‘event’. Personally I found this setup along with Apple’s ‘Up Next’ widget and Siri Apple Watch face to be way better than any other class management app I tried.

    Many even publish iCalendar files ready to import. I actually ended up writing a custom scraper for my HS[1], after which the LMS provider actually wrote their own exporter fairly quickly. I guess they weren't too happy one of the kids had to keep a database of all of their students' passwords... :P [1]: https://github.com/teozkr/schoolsoftsync https://github.com/teozkr/schoolsoftsync

    Could you add a fake "Class" contact to each of your class/meetings, and then ask Siri "when is my next meeting with Class"? Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue I guess.

  Funnily enough I started working on something similar in Uni as a class project and went embarrassingly far before realizing all the functionality I was building already existed in any of the major calendar apps. There should be a name for software developers thinking a customized software solution will solve their personal problems (time-management in particular)? I suspect it is the reason there are so many todo list apps.
