Canvas Task Extractor

A lightweight desktop app for students to view pending assignments and deadlines from Canvas LMS—without opening a browser.

Installation

Note: The binary and resources.neu must always be in the same directory. If resources.neu is missing or in a different folder, the app will fail to load.

Windows

Just double-click canvas-task-extractor-win.exe. Make sure resources.neu is in the same folder.

macOS

You may need to allow it through Gatekeeper since it's unsigned. In Terminal:

chmod +x canvas-task-extractor-mac
./canvas-task-extractor-mac

Or right-click the binary in Finder → Open → Open anyway.

Linux

chmod +x canvas-task-extractor-linux
./canvas-task-extractor-linux

How to use

1. Generate a Canvas access token from your Canvas account settings.

3. Hit Submit and you'll be taken to your tasks (assignments) overview.
