Canvas assignment reminders

Canvas assignment reminders that actually remind you.

Every assignment, quiz and discussion from all your courses in one list, sorted by due date — and a notification before each one is due, even when Canvas is closed.

How it works

  1. Add Canvas+ to Chrome

    Free. Sign in once and your deadlines appear — no setup.

  2. Open Deadlines

    Click the Canvas+ tab on the right edge of Canvas (or press ⌘K / Ctrl+K). Everything due is in one list.

  3. Tap the bell

    Allow notifications and choose when to be reminded — 24 hours and/or 2 hours before.

What you get

One list for every course

Sorted by due date with a live countdown and how much of your grade each item is worth.

More than due dates

Get a notification when a grade is posted, when an instructor moves a deadline, or posts an announcement.

Exams too

Exam dates from your syllabi, with reminders 3 days and 1 day before.

Your calendar, your to-do

Export deadlines to Google / Apple Calendar, and tick items off — synced with Canvas To Do. The calendar export is open source.

Questions

Does Canvas send assignment reminders?

Canvas’s notification settings mostly tell you about changes, course by course. Canvas+ adds a desktop reminder shortly before each deadline, for every course in one place.

Do I need Canvas open?

No. Reminders come as Chrome notifications while Chrome is running.

Is it free?

Yes. Deadlines, reminders, grade alerts and calendar export are free forever.

Try it on your own Canvas.

Free. Sign in with Google or an e-mail code — no password. Your grades never leave your browser.
