What it does
Pets for Canvas puts a little friend on your Canvas pages. It walks around while you work, gets happy when you submit, gets sad when something is overdue, and falls asleep at night.

Questions
Is it free?
Yes. It is free, there is no login, and coins can't be bought.
Does it need my Canvas token?
No. It runs on the Canvas session you are already logged into. No accounts, no passwords, no Canvas access tokens.
Does it work at my school?
It works with any school on Canvas. If your school runs Canvas on its own web address, the extension offers a one-click "Use on this site" the first time you open it there.
Does it change anything in my courses?
No. Nothing is ever posted, submitted or changed in your courses. The pet reads what is due and whether anything is overdue, and that stays in your browser.
How do I delete my data?
