Rebrand Announcement
BetterCanvas is now
BetterCampus
Same extension. Same team. New name, and a lot more features. BetterCanvas was a theming extension — BetterCampus is a full student productivity suite.
What stayed the same
BetterCanvas was a theming extension for Canvas LMS. That core hasn't gone anywhere — here is what carried over from BetterCanvas to BetterCampus.
Your Themes
Every theme you created or installed in BetterCanvas works in BetterCampus. Themes are still a core feature.
Chrome Extension
Same extension, new name. Just update the extension from the Chrome Web Store to get BetterCampus.
No Account Required
BetterCampus works without an account, just like BetterCanvas did. Create one only if you want the new features.
Free to Use
BetterCampus is free, just like BetterCanvas was. Pro unlocks advanced features like AI tools and the full planner.
So what is new?
BetterCanvas was a theming extension for Canvas LMS — that was it. Due to copyright concerns with Canvas LMS, we changed the name to BetterCampus. But we didn't just change the name — we built an entirely new product around it.
BetterCampus now includes GPA tracking and goal-setting, AI-powered flashcards and quizzes, a full planner with recurring tasks and subtasks, Google and Microsoft calendar sync, study tools with lecture transcription, a notes system, and a completely redesigned theme engine with custom creation and community sharing. Same mission: making your Canvas experience better.
