I-Know is a Google Chrome Extension that will help you stay organized.
Instead of checking the school's website for assignments, I-Know will check for you, and create a checklist of upcoming assignments.
I-Know supports any school using Brightspace or Canvas.
Chrome Permissions:
Read and change all your data on the websites you visit (Required to connect to Brightspace and Canvas)
Read and change your browsing history (Required to find sites to connect to)
Display notifications (I-Know sends push notifications so you don't miss assignments)
Communicate with cooperating websites (Required so we know when there's a bug)
Originally made by a student at BYU-Idaho. Can be used at any school using Brightspace by D2L or Canvas by Instructure.

- (2025-03-05) Hungry jaycob: for those that use it for school i was able to dig around and find a way to turn it back on
- (2025-03-04) Levi Nelson: Absolutely BROKEN HEARTED this extension was removed with no warning or real explanation. This kept me SO PRODUCTIVE in school. PLEASE fix this! I need it for college!
- (2025-03-04) Lauren Stanley: This is the best extension I've ever used. I am completely devastated that app is no longer supported. Does anyone know why? Are there any resources that do a similar thing?
- (2025-01-05) Brycen Ricks: I love this extension! It sucks so much that they are removing it from the chrome extensions, it helped me a lot to be productive
- (2024-01-10) Jasmine Venus: Has not worked for over a year. This extension was last updated May 5, 2021. It is clear support for this extension is non-existent. Unfortunately, you will have to find another way to manage assignments and classes. For now I use the Pulse app for Brightspace/D2L and google Calendar. I am also trying out Rainlendar, a desktop calendar widget. I like that it shows you what is due in a pop-up everytime you turn on your computer.
- (2024-01-06) Andy Siegel: Sounds really great but i open it on D2l and it just says waiting to establish connection. Not sure what im doing wrong
- (2023-12-04) Jessica Azrin: Takes a few minutes to fully sync
- (2023-09-19) christyne macavinta: I've had this extension for a long time and it is a life saver. It reminds me of everything I need due. And then I don't have to make a checklist all by myself. I've recommended it to a ton of people and it's definitely saved by behind a couple times. I also like that it shows you with color on the calendar which days the most homework will be due. That's helped me schedule and make sure not to plan too much around those heavy assignment days. Anyway, thanks for all the help!

- (2021-08-17) Emily Mahana Yamada: Previously my review would have been five stars, but just recently it has stopped working. I'll click on it and it will say "Installing - I-know is setting up" then after a couple of seconds it will say "Set up a connection: Open your school's learning system and open I-Know." My school runs on canvas, the same thing I have used for years. It worked perfectly in the spring. Now, it is nonfunctional. The semester starts this week and I don't know how I will survive without it functioning. I tried reaching out to the creator through synov.net with no reply for over a week. I will update my review when this is resolved. I really did love this extension when it worked! I have used it since my second or third semesters of my college career circa 2016 or 2017. Now I am in grad school and I still rely on it. I believe I even paid for premium? Unsure it has been so long.

- (2021-05-11) Johnathon Peterson: It won't load my assignments and keeps saying that I need to open my school's learning system and open I-Know. I've done this and have refreshed the page, removed and re-added I-Know but it still doesn't work.

- (2021-05-04) Ben Fuqua: Ok, you put out an update, but still didn't help the fact that I cannot connect. I was able to one time but then when I re-opened it, all of my assignments were gone. Also, add back the feature where we can select which classes to display. I-know, for the one second it worked, displayed all of the classes that I had ever taken so I was showing that I had over 8 assignments due every day when I am only taking 2 100 level classes. Also, bring back the add event button.
- (2021-05-04) Scott Saylin: BRING BACK THE ADD BUTTON I-Know has become an essential part of my day. I use it for everything. With the new update, the option to add an event has been removed for some reason. BRING IT BACK Also, the new update opens to tomorrow's items, not today.

- (2021-05-04) Viacheslav Nazarenko: Commenting on a new update (May 3 2021). Weird things started happening last night (assuming you were implementing on dev). - lost counter on the extension icon - clicking on it brought me an I-Know unlinked from the Canvas - tried to link - failed - today had to remove the extension and re-install it again (this made it work and showed new UI) Even though I like the idea of minimalism and simplifying the UI there are few things to consider: - You show the number of assignments due by displaying blue dots. They are too small (hard to see). - I am taking some heavy classes and I got 20+ assignments due Saturday. How are you going to show that number? It was super convenient to have a number representation of the number of assignments. This way I could plan ahead more efficiently if I can see that I have a heavy day. - It is Monday today, but the I-Know calendar doesn't show my anything for Satuurday. I would be nice to see assignment load for the entire week (again, if I have total 5 assignments due from Monday through Wednesday and 20 due Saturday it would be nice to know that in advance and start working on them early). Edit: Thank you for bringing the stress level feature back. It's amazing now.

- (2021-05-03) Benjamin Fuqua: I absolutely loved this app, but the recent update that was sent out wrecked the extension. There is no number any more on the calendar that shows me how many assignments I have on that day so I can look into the future and see. Also, the days on the calendar don't match the day the assignment is due. And now it won't even connect to my school's organization. Please pull this update and go back to the old one until you get these things fixed. having the calendar lined up with the actual due date is pretty important. I have loved using this application and I want to keep using it but these bugs make it so I can't use the application

- (2020-10-09) Jeff Schmeltzer: I appreciate the extension very much but for about 2 months now I've reached out a few times for assistance with extension problems. If you even look in reviews a moderator says message through the app and they will replace faster (which it's been over a month and I haven't received a reply. ------- The Issue: I load up the extension on my Canvas and it says, "Oops, please login and try again." I do this maybe 2 times a day for 20 minutes logging out of canvas and back in. Same issue, uninstall extension and does the same thing. I've tried a few things in the settings of extension and just frustrated of the extension at this point.

- (2020-02-26) Alex Shnyrov: Very heavy. It takes a long time to load. It's faster for me to check assignments manually in canvas. Also, it is very annoying that I have to manually check completed assignments. The good thing is the push notifications, but because you have to check your completed assignments manually, sometimes you get notifications for things that you've already worked on.

- (2020-02-19) Vlady Matos: AMAZING AMAZING extension. As an extreme procrastinator and ADHD student, It has helped me stay ahead in my classes. I am able to see which assignments are due soon and sends out reminders of due dates and deadlines.

- (2020-01-21) Courtney Smith: Old Review: Just an FYI for potential downloaders- it doesn't work anymore. It used to be amazing, though. Edit: Owner fixed the problem and was quick to message me about how he was getting the problem fixed, and once the problem was resolved. So grateful, this semester is my last and now I don't have to organize everything myself! Thanks I-Know!!!!!!!

- (2020-01-09) Henrique Tedeschi: It is a great tool, but it has been crashing non-stop these past days. Nothing helps, using in a new tab, in a new window, or as a popup. I also tried to remove and install again, nothing... Keeps crashing and it doesn't say why. I am trying to use it with instructure canvas at BYU-I. Hopefully it comes back to a working state, this was a life-saver.

- (2020-01-08) Savanah Rudd: This extension is AMAZING, when it works. I have rarely had problems with it the past two years of using it until this week. It has said "I-Know Crashed" for the past three days. I've tried removing and re-downloading the extension multiple times and nothing works. I've also tried contacting someone to help me and never received any help. I'd love to get it working again.

- (2019-02-19) T.D. Eastvold: What a great extension! I use this with D2L and it is so much better than anything brightspace gives you. The ability to quickly browse through your due dates and click through to the assignments is amazing. I was using brightspace pulse before this, which has a similar feature, but can only be used on mobile, which makes it pretty useless. I-Know makes planning and executing your weekly homework so much easier. I would urge anyone using the D2L system to give it a try! The developers support is unbelievably good! I was having a sign in issue because of a pseudo class my school put into the courses area. I reached out to the developer and they pushed out an update for me within the hour.
