Mindful is a webapp that is designed to help students schedule their time better for homework. Our approach streamlines the homework session experience.
We use the Canvas API to pull a students assignments and present them in a minimal, distraction-free interface.
Our goal is to help students be more mindful about how they do their homework. To facilitate this goal we built a dedicated mindfulness page to help them relax and take meaningful study breaks.
