Your stuff

Local-firstCourse indexing stays in browser storage; connected workflows run only when you choose them.

You remember the reading. You just can't find where it lives.

Canvascope puts search, PDF text, deadlines, cited answers, quizzes, and study context in one place, while the everyday index stays on your computer.

Search everything at once

Assignments, readings, files, quizzes, due dates, and locally parsed PDFs show up the moment you start typing.

Ask with cited course context

The Ask side panel retrieves the active LMS page plus indexed course files, tasks, notes, and PDF pages, then returns source-linked answers.

Move PDFs both directions

Send PDFs to Lectra, annotate on iPad, then bring the finished file back into supported browser upload flows.

Protected account flows

Google sign-in is optional, scoped to connected features, and backed by cross-account protection handling.

Search it, ask about it, mark it up.

Search your courses

Start typing and Canvascope pulls up matching files, pages, assignments, and parsed PDF text.

Ask the side panel

Ask across the active page and whole indexed corpus, with source chips for files, pages, and PDF pages.
