Your study habits, plotted against what you actually scored.
Insight logs when you study, where, for how long, and on how much sleep, then checks which of it lines up with your grades. All of it is encrypted in your browser, so nobody else can read a word. Not us either.
Free. No password reset, because there is nothing to reset with.
Sleep against test scores
Sample dataMost of what a tracker would tell you is a coincidence.
Seven habits compared against a term of tests will throw up impressive-looking differences by luck alone. We checked. Driven with generated students, 28 of the 65 findings had no effect built into the data at all , and one arrived with the sign backwards.
So before Insight says anything, it shuffles which of your scores land on which side of the comparison a thousand times, and counts how often chance alone produces a gap that big. Above five percent, you never see it.
Shown
Sessions you started after 11 PM came before lower scores than your own average.
12 sessions, held in 9 of 12
Cleared every gate, and beat the shuffle.
Withheld
Studying at the library came before higher scores than your own average.
7 sessions so far, not enough to say yet
An eleven-point gap, and still not shown, chance produced one that big in 19% of shuffles. This is the whole idea.
Every statement says came before, never caused, and there are tests that fail the build if that slips. Comparisons are against your own average, never against eight hours, or a study tip off the internet.

Four things, and three of them happen without you.
- 01
Start the timer
Subject, where you are, how loud it is. Your Canvas courses are already in the list, so it's three taps.
- 02
Grades arrive on their own
Canvas syncs every ten minutes. Home Access Center is read through the extension, using the session you're already signed into.
- 03
Two questions a day
Sleep in the morning, phone time at night, the only two things the app can't measure for itself. Skipped on days you've already answered.
- 04
It waits
Nothing is claimed until there are enough sessions behind it, it has held across more than one week, and it has beaten a thousand shuffles of your own data.

We built it so that we couldn’t read your grades even if we wanted to.
The key never leaves
Your password is stretched through 600,000 rounds in your own browser, and what comes out unlocks your data there. The server is handed ciphertext and nothing else.
So the maths runs on your device
Every pattern on this page is computed in the tab you have open, because the only machine that can read the inputs is yours. That is a consequence, not a feature.
And there is no reset
Forget the password and the data is gone, we cannot recover what we cannot read. Said here rather than in a support article, because it is the price of the two paragraphs above.
Reminders carry no data either, the server can tell that Tuesday night is unlogged without knowing what you would have written. So a lock screen never shows your grades to whoever picks up the phone.
Read exactly what is storedIt counts the time so you don’t have to guess at it.
Install whichever you actually use. Each one counts app and site time in the background, and can block what you name while a session is running, with a three-second override that gets recorded, rather than a hard lock you’d have uninstalled by Thursday.
Browser extension
ChromeCounts sites, blocks the ones you name, reads your gradebook.
Mac
SwiftCounts app time. Stops counting when the display sleeps.
Windows
C#Same counting. Closes a blocked app politely, so nothing is lost.
Android
KotlinApps and sites both, the sites through a local DNS filter.
iPhone
Web appAdd to Home Screen. Logging and reminders; no blocking, see below.
Why iPhone can’t block
Apple puts app blocking behind an entitlement that is granted, not bought, and we don’t have it. Rather than pretend, the iPhone app uses a Shortcuts automation you set up yourself.
A term of your own data, honestly read.
It takes a few weeks of logging before anything clears the gates. That wait is the point, but you can see what the far end looks like right now.
