Course Compass

Ranks your Canvas to-do list by urgency and turns studying into a treasure hunt. Free, local, no account, no AI.

Canvas tells you everything that's due. Course Compass tells you what to do NEXT — and turns getting it done into a treasure hunt. Course Compass is a free study companion that lives right inside Canvas. It reads your assignments and ranks them by what actually matters right now — deadline, point value, type, and your current grade — so the single most important thing to work on is always at the top. Then it makes the work rewarding: focus sessions earn dubloons, hidden treasure chests appear on your pages, and Clipper, your parrot study buddy, cheers you on. WHAT IT DOES 🧭 Ranks your to-do list by urgency — stop scrolling Canvas wondering where to start. An in-Canvas panel shows your top priorities, an overdue count, per-course filters, and what's due this week. 🗺️ Turns studying into a treasure hunt — finish study sessions to earn dubloons, dig up hidden chests, beat quick mini-games, and unlock cosmetics. 🦜 Clipper, your study buddy — page-specific tips and encouragement, with a talkativeness dial so it's exactly as chatty as you want. 🔥 Streaks that keep you going — daily streaks with freeze protection, a 7-day heat-map, and double rewards during Finals Week. ⏱️ A focus timer that pays off — set it, study, get rewarded. 📚 Your notes, right when you need them — Write typed notes and Course Compass surfaces the relevant ones on the matching Canvas pages. 📊 A full dashboard — Today, Assignments, Notes, Study, and Files all in one place. WHY STUDENTS INSTALL IT • Beat the overwhelm — one clear "do this next" instead of a wall of deadlines. • Actually want to study — the game loop and streaks turn a chore into momentum. • Protect your grade — high-value and at-risk work floats to the top automatically. • Find what you saved — your own notes resurface exactly where they're relevant.
