About Canvas Harness
Canvas shows you everything. Canvas Harness shows you what to do next.
It turns your Canvas dashboard into one calm page that you arrange yourself: what is due, how to do it, when you plan to do it, and the tools you study with. The original Canvas pages are always one click away.
★ BUILD YOUR OWN HOME
Add the modules you want: Today, This week, Focus timer, Clock, Notes, Bookmarks, Grades and Messages. Make them narrow or wide and drag them into place. Hold a heading, watch the hand-drawn circle close, and move it.
★ ASSIGNMENTS WITHOUT THE TAB MAZE
Every assignment sits beside its instructions, with teacher updates and your bookmarks close by. Tick things off as you finish them, including work you hand in outside Canvas.
★ A PLANNER THAT UNDERSTANDS YOU
Type "essay outline fri 45m #english" and the task lands on Friday, 45 minutes, in English. Drag cards between days. Finished work gets out of the way. Canvas due dates are never changed.
★ A STUDY COMPANION
A small hand-drawn pony walks along your page, tells you what is next, studies beside your focus timer and cheers when you finish. It never scolds, and one switch turns it off.
★ MAKE IT YOURS
Hand-drawn artwork for every course, outline styles, colors, text sizes and layout presets, all chosen by picture. Pick an accent color for buttons and a page color for the mood. No artist needed for your own art: a free skill on GitHub teaches your AI to draw a banner, icon and frame for your course, and Quick Upload drops them in.
★ STUDY TOOLS BESIDE YOUR WORK
A Desmos calculator, GPA estimates, and an optional AI hand-off where you pick exactly what is shared before anything is sent.
LIGHT ON SLOWER LAPTOPS
Tuned to come back quickly when you return to the tab and to do very little while it sits idle.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Uses the Canvas session you are already signed in to. It never changes submissions or grades.
• Plans, notes, bookmarks, artwork and settings stay in your browser. No ads, no analytics, no developer server.
• By default nothing saved is shown until Canvas confirms who is signed in.
• The optional AI tool sends only what you select, to the AI website you choose, after you review it. Desmos loads from its own website when opened.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Works on school Canvas sites under *.instructure.com. Custom Canvas domains are not supported yet.
• What you can see depends on your school's Canvas permissions.
• GPA values are estimates, not official transcript calculations.
• The AI tool may need an account with the provider, and changes to their websites can affect it.
• Free and open source (GPL-3.0): github.com/Flzsh/canvas-harness
Canvas Harness is an independent project by Flzsh. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Instructure, Desmos, or the AI providers.
