Urgency system — Every assignment is categorized automatically: 🔴 Overdue · 🟠 Due Today · 🟡 This Week · 🟢 Upcoming The toolbar badge shows your overdue count at a glance without opening the popup. ⏱ Live countdown — When a deadline is 12 hours away or less, a live second-by-second countdown appears on the card. No refreshing. No math. Smart notifications — Background refresh every 10 minutes. Fires a browser notification when something is newly due within your window (6h / 12h / 24h / 48h — your choice). Deduplication built in — you won't get spammed about the same assignment. ✅ Mark as done — Tap ✓ Done to move an assignment to Completed. It drops off your badge, stays accessible at the bottom, and can be undone at any time. 📌 Pin — Pin any assignment to keep it at the top of your list regardless of urgency. Useful for long-term projects you keep losing in Upcoming. 😴 Snooze — Hide an assignment for 1h, 3h, 24h, or until its due date. Reappears automatically when the snooze expires. 📅 Google Calendar (one-click) — "+ Cal" button on every card opens a pre-filled Calendar event with title, course, due date/time, and a direct link back to the Canvas assignment. ✏️ Manual assignments — Add any deadline not in Canvas. Manual entries support the full urgency system, color coding, countdown, snooze, pin, and calendar export. 🖌 Course color coding — Every course gets a unique color on the card border. Fully customizable in Settings. 🌐 Browser Session mode — No API token? No problem. If your school disables token creation, use your existing Canvas browser login instead. No credentials stored or extracted. ↓ Sort by points — Toggle between sorting by due date and by point value. Floats your highest-stakes assignments to the top when you're deciding what to work on. 🔍 Filter tabs — All / Overdue / Today / This Week. Stats bar always shows counts for every category. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── SETUP — ABOUT 60 SECONDS ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── A guided 3-step wizard runs on first install. Option A — API Token (most users) Canvas → Profile → Settings → Approved Integrations → + New Access Token → copy it → paste into wizard → Test Connection. Option B — Browser Session (if your school blocks tokens) Log into Canvas in this browser → enter your Canvas domain in the wizard → done. Keep a Canvas tab open for background refresh to work. Custom Canvas domains (non-instructure.com URLs) are supported — just enter whatever appears in your browser's address bar when you open Canvas. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PRIVACY — YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR BROWSER ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Everything is stored locally in Chrome's secure storage — your Canvas domain, API token, cached assignments, and all user preferences. Nothing is transmitted to any server, third party, or developer system. No account required. No tracking. No telemetry. Zero ads. All Canvas API requests go directly from your browser to your school's Canvas instance. AssignWatch is not a middleman — it never sees your data. Pro license validation communicates only with Lemon Squeezy (our billing provider) to verify your subscription — no assignment data is involved. Your API token can be revoked at any time from Canvas Settings → Approved Integrations. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── FAQ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Q: Does it work with a custom Canvas domain? A: Yes — enter whatever URL appears in your browser when you open Canvas (without the https:// prefix). Q: My school doesn't allow API tokens. Can I still use it? A: Yes — that's Browser Session mode. Select it in the setup wizard and AssignWatch uses your active Canvas browser login instead. Q: Does it show assignments from all my courses at once? A: Yes. AssignWatch fetches up to 50 active courses simultaneously and merges everything into one sorted list. Q: Does it show assignments I've already submitted? A: Submitted assignments are marked in the UI (Pro users get an instant notification the moment Canvas marks something submitted). You can also mark anything done manually with ✓ Done. Q: Is Pro worth it for me? A: If you just need deadline tracking, the free tier has everything you need. Pro is for students who also want grade impact calculations, Gradescope sync, automatic Calendar sync, and the deeper planning tools. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── CAMPUS STACK ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── AssignWatch is part of Campus Stack — a growing suite of browser extensions designed to reduce friction for college students.
