FastSolve is an extension for Chromium desktop browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc). You double-click a quiz question and it fills the answer into the field in about two seconds; you submit. It lists Canvas Classic and New Quizzes, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, Schoology, ALEKS, Edpuzzle, i-Ready, McGraw Hill Connect and Quizizz, and says it doesn’t auto-fill New Quizzes categorization or hot-spot questions.
The free plan is 10 solves a day. Pro is $9.99 a week, $19.99 a month or $99 a year. FastSolve reports “98% average accuracy” and “50,000+ questions solved.”
Silent Student is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. You connect your Canvas account once; your login stays on your computer, encrypted by macOS Keychain or Windows. The app runs its own browser, syncs your courses and works each assignment in due-date order: Canvas quizzes, essays, discussions and file uploads, plus the homework platforms your courses open, like WebAssign, MindTap, McGraw Hill Connect, Pearson MyLab and Macmillan Achieve. It fills in the answers and submits, and you can hold drafts for review first. It doesn’t take proctored exams. Plans are $11.99, $24.99 and $49.99 a month, with no free tier.
