Lykkeis the personal assistant for students. It works on your semester in the background — prep for what's due, courses built from your syllabus and flashcards on time — plans your week when you open it, doesn't schedule anything on its own, and never submits your coursework.

The Lykke Extension for Canvas: What It Syncs and What It Never Does

The Lykke extension for Chrome reads your Canvas courses so Lykke can plan your week and write prep for what's due. It never writes anything back to Canvas.

How to set it up

Install the extension. It's free on the Chrome Web Store, listed as Lykke Knowledge Companion.
Sign in to Lykke in the extension. Use the account you use on the web, so your courses come to that account.
Choose your school and open its Canvas. Sign in to Canvas as usual. The Lykke panel appears once you're in.
Pick your courses and press "Sync now".

After that first sync, it refreshes when you open Canvas, at most every two days. Only the extension syncs; the Lykke website can't.

What it reads

Your courses, assignments, announcements, modules, files, the class list and each course's calendar. The extension reads them with your own Canvas session, in your browser. Lykke's servers never sign in to Canvas on their own.

Files and the class list you sync are shared with other Lykke students in that Canvas class, including anyone who audits it.

What Lykke does with it

The week plan. Every dated assignment this week with Lykke's time estimate, spread across the days, plus the notes and files to use for each. It's planned when you open Lykke.
Morning prep. Questions on what's due in the next 7 days, each quoting the assignment or course material it came from, ready at the time you pick.
Drive. Canvas files arrive already filed in class folders.
Ask Lykke. It answers questions about your own notes, like "What did BIO 201 announce this week?"
ChatGPT and Claude. On Luminary, a connected AI can read your synced Canvas courses, assignments, announcements and files, and what's due soon. It can't write to Canvas either. How to connect one.

What it never does

It never submits an assignment, enters a quiz or exam answer, or posts to a discussion. It only ever asks Canvas for data, and nothing in Lykke can write to Canvas. The house rules say how we know.

How to remove what you synced

In Lykke, open Settings → Canvas. You can remove one course you synced, or clear all your Canvas data: your files from those courses, your place in their classes and everything imported. Canvas itself isn't changed.
