Supported LMS pages become searchable course structure.
Flagship product
The Chrome extension is the center of Canvascope.
Canvascope turns supported LMS pages into a fast, local-first coursework index. It is built for the moment a student needs to find a reading, assignment, course page, or PDF without losing the thread of what they were doing.
Canvascope indexed overlay
midterm reading packet⌘K
Assignments and quizzes remain visible alongside files.
PDFs move outward only through explicit action.
Search across LMS structure
Assignments, quizzes, discussions, modules, pages, files, and course homes are indexed into one fast surface.
Planner-aware ranking
Due dates and task types shape what shows up first, so urgent work is not buried under old files.
Overlay and slash commands
Cmd/Ctrl+K opens the search overlay, while commands like /due, /course, and /lectra turn search into action.
PDF handoff to Lectra
Supported Canvas PDFs can be sent to Lectra only when the student explicitly chooses that workflow.
Command surface
Search is the entry point. Commands make it operational.
Due Items
Browse upcoming and recently overdue assignments, quizzes, and discussions.
Open Course
Jump directly into an indexed course without hunting through LMS navigation.
Lectra Send
Find an indexed PDF and send it into the iPad annotation workflow.
Refresh Index
Kick off a fresh scan when course content changes.
Privacy model
Privacy-first is an architectural boundary, not a badge.
Local index first
The working search corpus lives in Chrome local storage. Search does not require sending raw course browsing state to a remote service.
Explicit connected flows
Google sign-in, Supabase sync, and Lectra uploads are account-linked features the user chooses, not hidden defaults.
No ad-tracking posture
The extension docs describe no analytics SDKs or ad trackers. The public site should keep that trust message direct.
Lectra handoff
Canvascope finds the file. Lectra becomes the writing surface.
Lectra is not the headline product, but it matters when coursework becomes document work. The extension owns discovery; Lectra owns focused annotation.
