Canvas is one platform. It isn't built for one kind of person.
Four Chrome extensions. One for students, faculty, instructional designers, and admins. Built for how Canvas actually works.
Four tools. One for you.

The admin tools Canvas was supposed to build. Actually built.
You're managing 15,000 users in Canvas. They gave you a search box.
Try Keel →Canvas has millions of users. Almost none of them have the right tools.
Canvas is used by tens of millions of people. Students at community colleges. Faculty at research universities. Instructional designers juggling a hundred courses at once. Admins managing systems they didn't choose, for users they can't easily reach. Canvas does a lot. It does not do enough for any one of them.
Bridge & Harbor doesn't compete with Canvas. We finish it. Each tool we build starts with a real frustration — something a real person hit, week after week, with no good answer. Breeze started with a student who kept missing announcements. Helm started with a faculty member who spent an hour doing something that should take ten minutes. Compass started with an ID who found a broken course mid-semester. Keel started with an admin who was told to "just export to CSV" instead of getting a real filter. These are not edge cases. These are Tuesday.
We take our position seriously. When you install a Bridge & Harbor tool, you're trusting us with your browser session, your course data, your students. We don't store it. We don't sell it. We don't build a profile on anyone. We publish our data practices. We answer hard questions. If you're doing institutional due diligence, our Security Overview is where you start — there's a DPA template waiting for you there.
The full suite.

Your AI. Your key. Your data.
Helm, Compass, and Keel include AI-powered features — feedback drafting, course review, audit summaries. They run on your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini API key, not ours.
That means your Canvas content never reaches Bridge & Harbor's servers. Your prompts go directly from your browser to your AI provider. You pay for exactly as much AI as you actually use — no hidden model costs baked into your subscription.
It also means you choose the model. Prefer Claude? Use Claude. Have an OpenAI account already? Use that. We support all three.
Bring-your-own-key setup takes about 60 seconds. Instructions are in the extension settings.
From the people who live in Canvas.
We launched Breeze because we needed it.
Bridge & Harbor started the way most useful tools start: someone was frustrated, they couldn't find a solution, so they built one. We built the first version of Breeze for ourselves. Then we showed it to an instructor. Then an ID. Then an admin friend who hadn't slept properly since the semester started.
We're in the early days. We'd rather ship zero fake reviews than a hundred manufactured five-stars. If you install Breeze and have thoughts — good, bad, or "this broke my Canvas" — we want to hear from you. That feedback is how Helm got built. It's how Compass got designed. It's how we stay honest.
Be among the first. Real reviews coming as we grow.
Your faculty are already using this. Let's make it official.
Canvas deployments at your institution are managed by your team. But the tools people actually need tend to get installed anyway — one at a time, without IT's knowledge, because nobody waited for procurement.
Bridge & Harbor is designed for exactly this situation. When individual faculty, instructional designers, or admins install our tools on their own, that's the signal. The gaps are real. If you want to close those gaps with institutional oversight, proper security documentation, and team deployment support, we're ready.
We have a Data Processing Agreement template. A security overview your IT team can actually review. And pricing for institutional deployments — including volume options for departments or whole campuses. No feature-gating, no data brokering, no surprises.
What institutional deployment includes
- ✓ Data Processing Agreement template — ready for your legal team
- ✓ Security overview — architecture, data flows, and what we don't store
- ✓ No student PII transmitted — all processing stays in the browser
- ✓ Chrome Web Store deployment — push to all users via Google Admin Console
- ✓ FERPA-conscious design — we don't handle education records
- ✓ Volume pricing — for departments or campus-wide rollout
