v0.7.1 · sideload only for now

chrome (or brave / edge / arc)

download the zip above and unzip it somewhere you won't move — Documents\canvas-calm\ is fine.
open chrome://extensions.
toggle developer mode on (top right).
click load unpacked → pick the unzipped folder.
pin the ☾ icon (click the puzzle piece → pin).
click the ☾ icon → type your name → save.
open canvas.iu.edu. panel appears on the right.

firefox

download the .xpi above.
open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
click load temporary add-on → pick the .xpi.
configure via the ☾ toolbar icon.

firefox unloads temporary add-ons when you quit. we'll sign it through mozilla once you like it — takes a day.

what it does

right now · the one thing worth touching, ranked by urgency × recoverability ÷ effort.
this week, by mode · your week bundled into waves (reading, writing, quiz prep, make) so same-shape work stays same-shape. tap a wave to run it.
next 72 hours · a flat list, ordered by when.
catch up · foldable. present but not shame-y.
how you're doing · progress bars, not letter grades.
school mail · a slot for financial-aid / advisor / prof emails so they can't hide in gmail.
quieter course colors. no red badges.

if something breaks

text me. the panel is small on purpose so bugs are small on purpose. i'll fix it same day.

privacy: nothing leaves your browser. no server, no login, no account. the panel reads canvas the same way canvas's own frontend does — with the cookie you're already using.

you got this.
one thing at a time.
