Resource Guide

TempoBoard is an all-in-one academic productivity dashboard. It brings your Google Calendar events, Canvas LMS coursework, personal tasks, and projects into a single workspace so you can stay organized and on top of deadlines.

Click "Sign in with Google" on the landing page. This authenticates your account and automatically connects your Google Calendar so your events appear in the Home view.

To pull in your courses and assignments from Canvas: 1. Open Settings from the profile menu in the top-left corner of the sidebar. 2. Navigate to the Integrations tab. 3. Paste your Canvas API token and your institution's Canvas URL. 4. Click Connect. Your courses and assignments will sync automatically. You can generate a Canvas API token from your Canvas account under Settings → Approved Integrations → New Access Token.

The Home view is your daily command center. It shows you what's happening today and what's coming up next.

Displays all your Google Calendar events for the current day in a timeline format. Events update automatically when you sync your calendar.

Shows assignments and tasks that are due soon, sorted by due date. This includes both Canvas assignments and any tasks you've created manually. Items with closer deadlines appear first.

Use the arrow buttons at the top of the Home view to scroll through days. You can look at past days to review what you've completed, or look ahead to plan for upcoming events and deadlines.

The Tasks view is where you manage all your to-do items. You can create tasks, organize them, and track what you've completed.

Click the "+ Add task" button or the plus icon. Type a title and press Enter to create it quickly. You can also set a due date, priority, and labels during creation.

Click on any task to open its detail popup. From there you can edit: • Title — the name of your task • Due date — when the task is due • Priority — low, medium, or high • Labels — color-coded tags for categorization • Notes — additional details or context

Switch between Board and List layouts using the view toggle at the top. Board view shows tasks in columns; List view shows them in a flat, scrollable list.

Use the View dropdown to customize how tasks are displayed: • Group by Date — tasks organized by their due date • Group by Course — tasks organized by their associated course label • Due Timeframe — filter to show only today's, this week's, or all upcoming tasks • Sort Order — sort by due date, priority, or alphabetically

Click the checkbox next to a task to mark it as complete. Completed tasks can be viewed using the Completed Tasks filter. To delete a task, open it and click the delete button.

The Coursework view displays all your Canvas LMS courses and their assignments. You need to connect Canvas first (see Getting Started above).

Each connected course appears as a card showing the course name and key details. Click any course card to open the detailed course view.

Inside a course, you can see: • Assignments — all assignments for the course with their due dates and submission status • Grades — your scores and grades as reported by Canvas • Syllabus — the course syllabus if your instructor has published one • Notes — personal notes you can attach to the course • Documents — files and documents associated with the course

You can rename any course with a nickname for easier identification. Nicknames automatically sync to the course's label, so your tasks stay organized under the name you choose.

Projects let you organize related tasks into dedicated workspaces. They're great for group assignments, personal goals, or any multi-step endeavor.

Click "My Projects" in the sidebar, then click the "+" button that appears on hover. Give your project a name, choose a color, and optionally add a description.

• Name — the project title • Color — a color to visually distinguish the project • Status — track whether a project is active, on hold, or completed • Description — context or notes about the project

Favorite a project to pin it in the sidebar for quick access. Favorited projects appear under "My Projects" with their color indicator. Click any favorited project to jump directly to it.

Inside a project, you can create sections to group tasks by theme or phase. Add tasks directly within sections, and drag or move them between sections as your project evolves.

Labels are color-coded tags you attach to tasks. Use them to categorize tasks by subject, priority, or any system that works for you. Navigate to "Filters & Labels" in the sidebar to create, edit, or archive labels. When you connect Canvas, a label is automatically created for each course using the course name (or nickname). These course labels link your tasks to their respective courses.

Saved filters let you quickly switch between different task views. For example, you might create a filter for "High priority tasks due this week" or "All tasks for Biology." To create a saved filter, go to Filters & Labels, click the "+" button under My Filters, give it a name, and define the filter query. Your saved filters are accessible anytime from this view.

Open Settings from the profile menu in the top-left corner of the sidebar. Here you can personalize your experience.

Choose an accent color that applies across the interface — buttons, active states, and highlights will all reflect your chosen color.

Customize which navigation items appear in the sidebar and reorder them to match your workflow. Toggle visibility for Home, Coursework, Tasks, Filters & Labels, and Projects.

Add countdown timers for important dates like exams, project deadlines, or events. These appear on your Home view as a visual reminder of how much time you have left.

Manage your Canvas LMS connection and Google Calendar sync from the Integrations tab in Settings. You can update your API token, change your Canvas URL, or reconnect if syncing stops working.

• Use the Home view as your daily starting point to see what's on your plate. • Set due dates on all tasks so they appear in your Upcoming Deadlines. • Favorite your most-used projects for one-click access from the sidebar. • Give your Canvas courses short nicknames to keep the interface clean. • Use labels consistently — they make filtering and finding tasks much faster. • Check the Coursework view regularly for new assignments from your courses.
