Nothing slips by

Missing work, impossible to miss.

In dark mode the gradebook keeps Canvas's status colors, missing in red and late in amber, so the students who need a nudge stand out at a glance. Then message them all in one click.

Manage the whole course

Change a hundred things in a few clicks.

Course-wide bulk actions handle the end-of-unit scramble and the snow-day reshuffle. You pick which items are affected and exempt the rest, and these only change settings, never your content.

Course-wide bulk actionsPremium

Restyle every page dark, apply an assignment preset to many assignments, shift a batch of due dates, or publish and unpublish in bulk. You pick exactly which items, and exempt the rest.

Smart due datesPremium

Set "due in X days" for the whole class. Count calendar or school days, skip holidays, and auto-apply extended-time overrides.

Assignment setup presetsPremium

Save your standard assignment settings (points, submission type, group, attempts) and apply the whole configuration in one click.

One-click missing-work outreachPremium

Message every student who has missing work with a personalized note listing their own late assignments.
