Due dates

Every assignment, rubric and file type.

Announcements

Readable with zero bars.

Syllabi

Late policy included.

Course files

One click, all your materials.

Four steps. Zero panic.

Fingerprint

Your file gets a SHA-256 fingerprint on your laptop. The file stays with you.

Step 1

Try Canvas

We submit normally first. Most nights, that's it.

Step 2
The clever bit

Seal it

If Canvas is down, FreeTSA timestamps the fingerprint. Proof that doesn't need to trust us.

Step 3

Tell your prof

Gemini drafts a short note, Gmail opens, you hit send.

Step 4

Canvas is down? We've got a queue for that.

Your sealed file waits safely on your laptop. The moment Canvas answers again, CampusFallback submits it and pings you.

Your stuff stays yours.

Stays on your laptop

Courses and files live in your browser. Our server only ever sees a fingerprint.

Proof without trust

Timestamps come from FreeTSA, not our clock, so nobody can fake them. Not even us.

Your login, read-only

We read only what you can already see, at a polite pace. Never anyone else's data.

Gradescope is back. Upload Homework 5 now →

11:52 PM · Gradescope: down · Panic: none

Gradescope? Covered, too.

Gradescope asks you to tag your own pages, so we never auto-submit there. Instead we seal your file, draft the email, and ping you the second Gradescope is back, with a link straight to the assignment.

Questions we get.

"Will my professor accept this?"

That's always their call. But they get the exact file and a timestamped proof from before the deadline. That's a strong case.

"Is this allowed?"

It reads only your own courses with your own login, like the Canvas app does. Course materials never leave your laptop.

"What if my Wi-Fi is down too?"

Use your phone's hotspot. Sealing sends just a 64-character fingerprint, so even one bar works.

Professor? Check a file in ten seconds.

Drop the file on our verify page. It's fingerprinted in your browser, never uploaded, and matched against its sealed receipt.
