A free Chrome extension places a named pet inside Canvas, rewarding assignment streaks with treats, coins, clothing, and new animals.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

Pets for Canvas uses assignment status as the input for a small reward system layered onto Canvas pages. A pet reacts to due and overdue work, while completed days maintain a streak that yields treats, coins, and milestone rewards. The site says long streaks can unlock animals unavailable for coins, and that duplicate items do not appear in clothing boxes. Source code and a privacy policy are linked publicly; installation is required for the interactive layer.
