Features

Everything you need, right in the browser

Spark adds a lightweight side panel to Brightspace so your assignments are always one click away — no new tabs, no extra logins.

📋

All assignments in one place

Automatically fetches assignments from every course and displays them in a single, sorted list.

📅

Due date side panel

A persistent side panel shows upcoming due dates sorted by date, so you always know what's next.

📊

Frequency graph

Visualize which days of the week are busiest so you can plan your study time more effectively.

🎨

Color-coded courses

Each course gets a distinct color with matching notch indicators on the scroll bar for quick orientation.

🔒

Private by design

All assignment data stays in your browser. We never store, transmit, or share your personal or student data.
