Canvascope started as a fix for a problem I kept hitting as a student: finding anything in Canvas is harder than it should be. Today it's a real, installable product.
Canvascope is a privacy-first Chrome extension that indexes your course materials locally and lets you search across assignments, files, and modules in plain language. It's local-first for performance and privacy, with zero third-party analytics or tracking, optimized for low-latency search, and designed to extend into bigger integrations down the line.
This is where it all begins. Thank you to everyone who tested early versions, reported bugs, and shared feedback. Your input shaped this release and everything that's come since.
