Importing from your university

Your timetable is the backbone of the Today view, so it is worth getting in early. There are two ways to add classes, plus a way to mirror First Six into the calendar app you already use.

Paste your timetable

The fastest start is to paste. Copy your classes from wherever your university publishes them (a portal, a PDF, an email) and drop the text into Timetable → Import. First Six lays out a starter week from it.

It reads the text directly rather than guessing with AI, so it can occasionally misread a messy line. That is why it shows you every row to review before anything is saved: fix a title, tweak a time, change a colour, or untick a row you do not want. Once it looks right, save, and each class becomes a weekly repeat.

Set your first week

Imported classes repeat from your "first week starts" date, so check that date is right before saving. It anchors the whole recurring schedule.

Add classes by hand

If you only have a few classes, or your university does not give you anything easy to copy, add them directly. Drag to create a block in the day or week view, then set the title, location, colour, and how it repeats (weekly is the common one). Times snap to fifteen-minute steps so blocks line up cleanly.

Subscribe in your own calendar

First Six can also feed your existing calendar. Each account has a private calendar link you can subscribe to in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or anything that takes an .ics URL. Your classes, and any tasks with due dates, then show up alongside everything else you already track.

The link is private to you and acts as its own key, so do not share it. If it ever leaks, your university can reset it.
