Taskgator For Canvas

TaskGator helps college students stay on top of their coursework. It lives in your Chrome browser alongside your Canvas tabs, consolidating assignments from all your courses into a single, organized view with smart sorting, filtering, and customization that syncs across your devices.

TaskGator does not write essays, generate discussion posts, or complete assignments for you. It is a low-friction organizational tool that helps you understand what is due, when it is due, and what your professor expects.

TaskGator also includes an AI-powered Course Assistant (limited pilot access) that reads your syllabi, assignments, rubrics, discussion topics, announcements, and course pages, then answers your questions with source citations so you can verify every answer. Professors scatter assignment instructions across multiple locations in a course - the assignment page, a module, the syllabus PDF, a rubric, an announcement posted weeks later - and Canvas has no way to search across all of it. The TaskGator Course Assistant does.

Key Features:
• View and manage assignments across all your courses in one place
• Smart sorting by due date, priority, or course with customizable filters
• Mark assignments complete, set custom due dates, and flag items for follow-up
• AI Course Assistant that answers questions about your courses with cited sources (pilot access — request an invite after sign-up)
• Automatic background content monitoring keeps the AI's knowledge up to date as professors make changes
• Works alongside your existing Canvas workflow. No new tabs or apps to learn

Getting Started:
Create a free TaskGator account and log into Canvas as usual. TaskGator works with any institution that uses Canvas LMS. AI Course Assistant access is currently available by request for pilot participants.

Privacy First: TaskGator is built with security and student data privacy as foundational requirements. Your data is encrypted and is never sold or shared with advertisers.

This is a release preview. We're actively developing new features and improving the experience based on student feedback. If you run into any issues, use the built-in feedback tool to let us know.

What's New
• v0.9.1775.2363 (April 3, 2026)
o Background content freshness: TaskGator now monitors your courses for changes even when the side panel is closed. When a professor updates an announcement, edits a page, or changes an assignment, the AI's knowledge updates automatically. Deleted content is also cleaned up so the AI doesn't cite outdated information. Added an on-page "last synced" indicator on Canvas assignment pages.

• v0.9.1774.8994 (March 30, 2026)
o Stability improvements: Fixed an issue where switching courses quickly could show messages from the wrong course. Fixed completed assignments sometimes reappearing in "what's due" responses. Improved sync status messages to be clearer about what's happening.

• v0.9.1774.7229 (March 28, 2026)
o Sync reliability: Content sync is now more reliable, with automatic retry for files that fail on the first attempt. Courses that partially sync now automatically retry in the background instead of requiring a manual refresh.

• v0.9.1774.5371 (March 26, 2026)
o Smarter AI answers: The AI now reads quiz descriptions, course late submission policies, and detailed rubric criteria. This means better answers about quiz content, grading policies, and assignment expectations.

• v0.9.1774.3735 (March 24, 2026)
o Cross-device sync: Your task customizations (custom due dates, hidden assignments, follow-up flags) now sync across all your devices. Set a custom due date on your laptop, and see it automatically appear on your desktop.
