Quickly save notes for students in SpeedGrader and sync them across devices. SpeedNotes lets teachers jot quick notes about students and see those notes automatically when grading in Canvas SpeedGrader. Click the extension icon (or press Alt+N) to add a note for any student from any page. When you open SpeedGrader, SpeedNotes shows that student's notes automatically. If you create a note while in SpeedGrader, the student name is auto-filled; on other pages, just start typing and SpeedNotes suggests matching students from your classes. Notes are saved using Chrome Sync for your signed-in browser profile, so they stay in sync across your devices. There are no external servers, and no Canvas API access — SpeedNotes only reads the pages you already visit, so it works in any school district. A simple "Storage" percentage helps you understand how much space is left, and the extension prevents saves that would exceed the storage limit so you don't lose work. Permissions: the "tabs" permission is used only to detect Canvas SpeedGrader pages so the student name can be auto-filled. What's new in 1.2.0: Name suggestions as you type — Start typing in the Student Name field and up to five matching names appear, with the course shown alongside each one. Selecting fills in the name instantly. Suggestions only appear while you type — no long lists to scroll. Learns your class from the Gradebook — Open a course's Gradebook once and SpeedNotes learns every student in that class. New students appear in suggestions the next time you open the Gradebook. Undo — Deleting a note (or using Clear All) now shows an Undo button for a few seconds, so a misclick never costs you your notes. Keyboard shortcut — Press Alt+N to open SpeedNotes instantly. Customizable at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Live updates — The note box in SpeedGrader now updates immediately when you add or edit notes from the popup, without switching students. Under the hood — More reliable student-change detection in SpeedGrader, and notes now quietly record a student ID to support future features like handling two students with the same name.
