  Canvas scatters your deadlines across courses, modules, and tabs. CanvasFlow pulls them into one side panel you can open on any Canvas page — overdue, due today, coming up.
  
  What you get
  - A dashboard of every deadline, sorted by what needs you first.
  - An AI study assistant: ask what to focus on today, or have it turn your week into a prioritized plan. Chat included — it runs on GitHub Models using your own GitHub account.
  - A weekly schedule, time-blocked around your real due dates.
  - Your announcements and assignments in one place instead of ten.
  
  How it works 
  CanvasFlow reads your assignments through Canvas's own API on your existing logged-in session — no API key, no password, nothing to set up. It has no server of its own; everything runs in your browser.
  
  Privacy 
  Your Canvas data stays on your device. The AI runs only when you ask it to, and sends only assignment details — titles, due dates, points — never your login. Full policy in the Privacy tab.
  
  Independent project, not affiliated with Instructure or Canvas LMS.
