Small browser extensions that take the clicking out of Canvas.
Canvas holds everything you need to know about your class. Getting it out is the problem: to find out who is falling behind you open a student, read a page, go back, open the next one, and do that thirty times. The information was always there. The clicking is the tax.
These extensions remove the tax. Less clicking, less overhead, fewer trips through the same six screens — so the time you spend in Canvas is spent deciding what to do, not assembling the picture you need in order to decide.
They are not shortcuts. Nothing here grades for you, writes to your students for you, or tells you what a number means. They do not skip a step of teaching; they skip the navigating. The judgment stays yours — you just get to it sooner.
The first one. It adds a single item to your Canvas course navigation. Click it and you get the whole class at once: every student, every assignment, with missing work and quiet students sorted to the top.

It reads the same data Canvas already shows you — assignments, submissions, last activity — using your own logged-in session, and lays it out the way you actually triage a class: the students with the most missing work at the top, next to how long they have been silent.
Every mark is a shape and a word, not just a color, so the grid reads correctly for colorblind teachers too.
These extensions talk to exactly one outside server — ours — and only to check a licence and count anonymous usage. Names, grades, and submissions never leave the page. The privacy policy is one page long.
