Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Every feature included — no tiers, no upgrades, no upsells.

Privacy Guard

Blocks focus, visibility, and tab-switch detection on Canvas and any other LMS. Layered protection that self-heals if the page tries to override it.

Multi-Provider AI

Four providers with three cost tiers each: OpenAI (GPT-5.6 Sol / Terra / Luna), Claude (Opus 5 / Sonnet 5 / Haiku 4.5), Gemini (3.1 Pro / 3.6 Flash / 3.5 Lite), and OpenRouter for 200+ models. Bring your own key.

Canvas New Quizzes

Per-question AI pill on every New Quizzes item. Solves multiple choice, categorization, ordering, matching, hotspot, fill-in-the-blank, numerical, and essay — all handled correctly for each type.

McGraw-Hill SmartBook

Full autosolver for McGraw-Hill Connect SmartBook. Uses your existing ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini web subscription — no API key needed. Loops until the assignment is done.

Prior-Answer Autofill

If you've taken a Canvas quiz before, hover any question to see your best previous answer auto-filled. All 10 Canvas question types supported.

Right-Click Images

Right-click any diagram, chart, or figure and queue it as visual context for your next AI answer. Great for physics, chemistry, and any image-based problem.

Why switch?

Canvas Open combines all three into one free tool. Canvas Hack's anti-detection, Canvas Toolkit's Canvas AI solver, and Bypassify's McGraw-Hill autosolver — plus features none of them have (multi-provider AI, tier selector, right-click image queue). No paywalls, no accounts, no subscriptions.
Canvas Open's Privacy Guard blocks the standard detection methods Canvas and similar platforms use. However, no tool is 100% guaranteed. Use responsibly.
