Canvas Hack Extension for Quiz Privacy & Study Tools
Add quiz-log privacy controls, help with previous quiz answers, and optional AI assistance to supported Canvas quiz pages. Review the limits, then install from the Chrome Web Store.
What Canvas Quiz Logs Can Show
During supported quiz flows, Canvas can record when the quiz page loses focus. Teachers see a timestamped activity entry, not the destination tab or the reason focus changed.
Tab-Switch Detection
Supported quiz flows can record focus changes. A focus-loss entry does not identify another tab or establish why you left the page. Learn what Canvas sees →
Canvas Quiz Log Tracking
Quiz logs provide activity entries and timestamps, with limits that depend on quiz type and settings. Read the quiz-log guide →
Teacher Activity Reports
Instructors can review available activity entries. Logs need context and should not alone establish academic misconduct. How activity logs work →

Open an authorized, supported Canvas page and review the extension settings. Compatibility depends on the page and quiz type.

What Canvas Ninja Does Not Do
The product is intentionally narrow: browser-side quiz-log privacy, not server hacking or grade tampering.
No grade changes
Canvas Ninja does not change recorded grades or existing submission records.
No Canvas password access
You sign in to Canvas normally. The extension does not ask for or store your Canvas login.
No unauthorized system access
Privacy Guard works in your browser. Answer Saver reads available Canvas submission history through your signed-in access; it does not break into school systems.
No lockdown-browser bypass
Separate proctoring software can add permissions Canvas alone does not have. We explain those limits clearly.

CanvasNinja FAQ
Sources for quiz-report limits: Instructure's Classic quiz-log guide and New Quizzes Moderate guide. These documents do not verify every institutional integration or configuration.
Can Canvas see what tabs you have open?
Not exactly — Canvas cannot see which specific tabs or websites you visit. During supported quiz flows, it can record that the quiz page lost focus as a "Stopped viewing the Canvas quiz-taking page" event. The log does not reveal the destination tab or prove why focus changed. Read the full tab-switch guide.
How do I cheat on Canvas quizzes without getting caught?
Canvas Ninja does not guarantee undetected activity or institutional approval. Follow your course rules and use AI or saved-answer assistance only when authorized. Browser-side controls do not bypass separate proctoring or remove Canvas server records.
What do Canvas quiz logs show my teacher?
Quiz activity reports can show recorded actions and timestamps, depending on quiz type and settings. Focus-loss entries do not identify the destination tab or prove misconduct. Canvas Ninja does not remove existing server records. Read the linked quiz-log guide for documented limitations. Quiz-log guide.
Does using incognito mode hide me from Canvas tracking?
Incognito does not make activity within a signed-in Canvas session anonymous. Supported quiz reports can still contain activity entries. Canvas Ninja does not guarantee a particular logging outcome or undetected extension use; review your browser settings and course rules.
Is Canvas Ninja really undetectable?
Privacy Guard is designed to reduce supported Canvas quiz focus-event reporting in normal Chrome sessions. It does not guarantee a particular log outcome and does not bypass lockdown browsers, separate proctoring tools, or managed-device monitoring.
Does Canvas Ninja work on all Canvas quizzes and tests?
No. Support depends on question type, page structure, browser, and school configuration. Answer Saver uses available prior submission history for supported Classic Quiz questions. The Store listing describes native New Quizzes toolbar detection, but native Answer Saver and AI parsing are not currently supported.
Is Canvas Ninja the best Canvas quiz answer extension?
Choose a tool for the job you need. Canvas Ninja combines supported browser-side privacy controls, prior-answer assistance, and optional AI study help. We have not verified an exclusive feature combination or a universal best ranking. Review compatibility, permissions, and your course rules.
Will my school know I'm using Canvas Ninja?
We cannot guarantee undetected use. Separate proctoring, managed devices, and institutional policies can affect what is observed or allowed. Privacy Guard operates in the browser; AI Answers and account services use network requests, and existing Canvas server records are not removed.
Does Canvas track your location?
An IP address is not a precise GPS location. Instructure documents IP addresses in administrator page-view exports. Canvas Ninja does not change your IP address or remove those records. Consult your institution about its location, proctoring, and device-management practices. Instructure page-view documentation.
Does Canvas track your IP address?
Yes. Instructure documents IP addresses in administrator page-view exports, subject to the report permissions and data limitations. This is different from a quiz focus-change entry. Canvas Ninja does not hide your IP address or remove server records. Instructure page-view documentation.
Can Canvas see when you switch tabs?
Instructure documents stopped-viewing and resumed-viewing entries in Classic quiz logs, and stopping/resuming activity in New Quizzes logs. These entries do not identify the destination tab or prove why focus changed. Canvas Ninja does not guarantee that no switch events will be recorded.
Does Canvas track how long you spend on each question?
Quiz reports can contain answer entries and timestamps. These do not reliably establish how long you spent thinking about an answer, and Classic Quizzes autosave can create answer entries. Review the documentation for your quiz type rather than treating a log as a complete writing timeline.
Can Canvas record your screen?
The standard Canvas quiz-log guides describe activity reports, not a screen recording. Separate proctoring or managed-device software can add monitoring, depending on the product and settings. Ask your institution which tools and recording policies apply.
Can Canvas detect screen sharing or Discord screen share?
The standard Canvas quiz-log guides do not describe a report identifying Discord or other screen-sharing apps. This is not a guarantee about separate proctoring, custom integrations, or managed-device monitoring. Ask your institution which tools apply.
Does Canvas have eye tracking?
The standard Canvas quiz-log guides do not describe eye tracking. Separate proctoring tools have their own capabilities and settings; check the documentation and notices for the product your assessment requires.
Does Canvas detect screenshots?
No. Browsers do not expose a general operating-system screenshot event to web pages, so Canvas alone cannot detect it. Separate proctoring or managed-device software may add other controls. Read the full guide: Can Canvas See If You Screenshot?
Can Canvas detect copy and paste?
Instructure's standard quiz-log guides do not describe a copy-paste alert. Teachers can review submitted answers and quiz activity. Separate integrity tools or institution-specific integrations may add capabilities. Read the sourced copy-and-paste explanation.
Does Canvas track keystrokes?
The standard quiz-log guides describe answer and activity entries, not a transcript of individual keystrokes. Autosave entries should not be treated as a complete typing history. Separate tools may add capabilities.
Can teachers see what websites you visit on Canvas?
Canvas reports can show activity within Canvas. A quiz focus-loss entry does not identify which external website or app you used. Separate integrations, proctoring, or managed-device monitoring may provide additional information.
Is Canvas Ninja free?
Canvas Ninja is $16.99/month or $67.99 one-time for lifetime. Both plans include Privacy Guard, Answer Saver, and Smart Answers. The Chrome Web Store install itself is free with no credit card required — you pay only when you activate the features. Lifetime is backed by a 30-day refund. See pricing →
