What's shipped

Release notes for every CampusKit version. Get the latest from the download page — the app also updates itself.

[0.1.1] - 2026-09-01

Brand-new campuskit.app: Astro 5 + React + Tailwind v4 + GSAP in site/, built static for Cloudflare Pages. Dark lime design matching the app, WebGL aurora hero, scroll-driven parallax and reveals, hand-built HTML app mockups, real Polar buy links, FAQ, changelog page rendered from this file, legal pages (privacy / terms / refunds) and a 404.

The real CampusKit mark everywhere: a lime badge variant of the app icon in the header and setup wizard, the window icon on Windows/Linux, and the Dock icon in dev runs.
macOS builds now also produce a zip artifact so electron-updater has a feed to update from (installing updates on macOS still needs code signing; until then the app notifies and users grab the new dmg).

CampusKit Pro: Polar-backed license keys with a Settings → License page — buy links ($5/year or $24.99 lifetime), key activation, re-check and remove.
Free core stays free; AI chat and the MCP server now sit behind the Pro gate with a visible-but-locked upsell. Gating is enforced in the main process, not just the UI.
Honest DRM: re-validation at most every 3 days, a 14-day offline grace period, and no lock on network failure — only a confirmed lapse downgrades, and your data is never touched.
Re-check now says what actually happened (re-validated, offline grace, or no longer valid) instead of always claiming success, and a rotated/replaced key explains itself.
A CampusKit Pro step in onboarding: buy or activate a key during setup, with the plan reflected in the final summary.
IPC errors shown in the UI no longer carry Electron's "Error invoking remote method" prefix.

The first release. Everything below shipped between the initial commit and today.

Semesters, courses and assignments with full CRUD, course colors, meeting times (weekday, time, room) and per-course syllabus attachments.
Live grade engine: weighted categories with per-category drop-lowest, direct-weight fallback, and ungraded work excluded from the denominator. Every number is computed from real data, never faked.
"What do I need on the final": required average on remaining weight for a target letter, with impossible and already-locked states handled.
Letter mapping with per-course configurable cutoffs, plus pass/fail courses excluded from GPA.
Semester and cumulative GPA with a configurable grade-point scale and a what-if overlay on course detail.
Course detail page with category breakdown, inline score editing and a target picker.
Archive flow: archived semesters leave the switcher but keep feeding cumulative GPA.

Timetable: a Mon to Fri time-axis grid of course meetings (weekend toggle), course colors, current-time line and today highlight.
Calendar: month and week views merging due dates, exams and class meetings, with a day peek panel.
Recurring assignments ("every Friday until semester end") with edit-one vs delete-series handling.
Notifications: due today, due tomorrow and class-in-15 reminders with per-type toggles and a quiet hours editor.
ICS import (Canvas and Google feeds, file or paste) with a review step and re-sync dedupe, plus ICS export.
Focus timer: pomodoro with course tagging, a mini always-on-top window and persisted sessions.
Study log: hours-per-course weekly chart built automatically from focus sessions.

Daily habit check grid with streaks and weekly percentages, archiving, and a to-do list with clear-done.

Syllabus import: drop a PDF or paste text, review the extracted draft (course, meetings, grade weights, dated assignments) and create everything in one click.
Natural-language quick-add: "hist essay next friday worth 15%" becomes a prefilled assignment. Works as a plain form with no key.
Flashcards: decks with an again/hard/good review mode and AI generation from pasted notes.
Ask AI chat: an in-app assistant that answers questions about your courses, grades and schedule through the same tool registry as the MCP server. Read-only by default, with a separate opt-in for writes.
Three chat providers behind one abstraction: Anthropic and OpenAI via your own key, or a ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription through an experimental, unofficial sign-in.
Keys and tokens are encrypted with the OS keychain and never touch the renderer. Every AI entry point degrades gracefully with no key.

Requirements by category (major, minor, GE, elective) with done, registered and planned status, units and a free-text planned term.
Graduation progress ring against an editable unit target, with per-category units-done counts.

First-run onboarding wizard: welcome and theme, semester, AI setup, courses (manual or syllabus import), degree planner and a summary. Re-runnable from Settings, and existing installs are never re-onboarded.
MCP server (opt-in): 12 tools over streamable HTTP on localhost, read-only by default with per-tool write permissions, so Claude Desktop, Claude Code and other MCP clients can operate the app.
Command palette (Cmd+K) for navigation, quick-add and search, plus a system-wide Cmd+Shift+N quick-add hotkey.
Settings with section navigation: appearance, AI, MCP, notifications, focus, data and setup.
Dark theme as the flagship with a derived light theme and system-theme follow.
Data safety: JSON export, versioned daily auto-backups with restore, WAL checkpoint on quit and corrupted-database recovery.
Auto-update from GitHub Releases with an in-app "Check for updates" flow showing download progress and a restart button. Updates publish to a public releases repo while the source stays private.
Packaging via electron-builder: macOS dmg (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows installer, with a new app icon (dark squircle, lime mortarboard).
Local-first throughout: SQLite on your machine, bundled fonts, no runtime CDN.

Sidebar collapse animation ballooning caused by rounded-full interpolating against the still-wide box.
Stale rail tooltips all appearing at once after collapsing the sidebar.
MCP server hardened against DNS rebinding, and backup restore paths validated.
