In the app, you choose when to spend Starlight on a star.
The real problem
Not every assignment lives in the Assignments tab.
Sometimes the real due date is in the third paragraph of an announcement. Sometimes it's a line on a module page, or a quick reminder posted on a Sunday night.
You check the Assignments tab, it looks clear, and a week later you find out it wasn't. That isn't carelessness. It's a lot to catch by hand across five or six classes.
You shouldn't have to catch everything yourself.
How it works
Four quiet steps between Canvas and a clear week.
Step 1
Canvas comes to you
A small Chrome extension brings in your courses, assignments, and announcements in one click while you're signed in to Canvas.
Step 2
AI reads the fine print
Announcements get scanned for due dates and tasks that never made it into the Assignments tab.
Step 3
You get the final say
Anything it finds shows up in a quick rundown. Keep it, skip it, or decide later. Nothing lands on your plan without you.
Step 4
Your effort becomes Starlight
Every finished task earns Starlight, more for bigger work. Spend it to chart stars in real constellations.

Your star map
A sky that grows with you.
Finished work turns into Starlight, and Starlight charts real stars. Start with Orion, the Big Dipper, and Cassiopeia. New constellations appear as your semester goes on, so a long week turns into something you can actually see.
Orion
6 of 8 stars charted
Ursa Major
Fully charted
Cassiopeia
2 of 5 stars charted
Uncharted sky
More constellations appear as your Starlight grows.
Hover over or tab to a constellation to see it glow.
