HomeschoolPlanner & Records
Homeschool planner for iPhone, iPad & Android
Plan lessons by child and subject and check them off each day; attendance and instruction hours add up on their own. At the end of the year, Homeschool turns it all into the attendance logs, hour totals, report cards, portfolios and transcripts that many states and colleges ask for. Proof of a year's learning, without a binder of spreadsheets.

How it works
Three small habits, and the paperwork keeps itself.
Add each child and their subjects, with the weekdays each one is taught and the minutes per lesson. Plan a unit in one go: numbered or pasted lessons land one per school day, skipping weekends and breaks. Print each child's week as a checklist.
Today lists every child's lessons. Tick them off as you go and their minutes are logged. A field trip, co-op or music practice? Log it for one child or several, at home or away.
Days and hours count themselves against your state's targets. When the year ends, a quarter closes or a form is due, export an attendance log, hours log, report card, portfolio, transcript or certificate as a PDF, or everything as a CSV.
Inside the app
Today, Plan and Records do the daily work. Reports turn it into paper when someone asks for it.
Every child's lessons for the day, ready to check off. Done lessons log their minutes, and Log activity covers field trips, co-op and music practice, for one child or several.
Subjects with the weekdays they're taught and the minutes per lesson. Plan a unit at once, bump lessons forward after a missed day, and see each child's week.
Days and hours add up as you go: by subject, in core subjects and core hours at home, against your state's targets, with the date you're on pace to finish.
An attendance log laid out month by month, an hours log and a year-end progress report. PDF to print or email, or a CSV spreadsheet of everything.
Grade lessons as you go, as a percentage, a score or a letter. Report cards with your comments print for a quarter, a semester or the year.
High-school courses with credits and grades, GPA both weighted and unweighted, test scores, activities and course descriptions, by year or by subject. A graduation plan shows the credits still to earn in each area.
Print a certificate for a grade completed, the 100th day of school, a finished book, a year of reading or any award you name, and a diploma for your graduate.
The year in review: each child's reading list, day notes and the work-sample photos you took along the way.
And the everyday details
A day counts when learning is logged. Mark present, half day, absent, excused or a day off, add school breaks, and set an optional daily minimum. A sick day excuses the day and moves the lessons forward in one step.
Teach a morning basket or a shared science to several children and check it off once. The hours count for each child.
Enter how many lessons a book has and see how far along each child is, and when they'll finish at your pace.
Start a timer when a lesson begins. When you stop it, the lesson is checked off with the minutes it really took.
A line about the day, a narration or a field-trip memory, kept with the day and printed in the portfolio's journal.
Add the days and hours already done on paper or in another app, and the year's totals pick up from there.
Every book each child reads, kept for the portfolio's reading list.
Photograph worksheets, art and projects straight from a lesson, or add photos you already have. They stay on your phone.
Attendance and hours logs for a quarter or a semester, for an evaluator, a quarterly report or a move mid-year.
Start next year with subjects copied over and each child moved up a grade. Past years stay on file for the transcript.
A note on school days, at the time you choose, with what's planned, and a Sunday recap of each child's week. Turn either off in a tap.
Save everything, photos included, to one file wherever you like, and restore it on a new phone or tablet.
State requirements

Your records are stored in the app on your phone, and we never see them. In More › Backup & restore you can save a backup file, photos included, wherever you like (Files, Google Drive, your email) and restore it on a new phone or tablet. Make one regularly: without a backup, records on a lost phone can't be recovered. Your phone's own iCloud or Google backup may also include the app's data, depending on your settings.
All 50 states and DC. Pick yours and the app suggests the year's targets, such as days, hours, core hours and core hours at home, with a plain-English summary and a link to the state's law. It's a general guide, not legal advice: laws change, so check your state's current rules, and change any target that doesn't fit your situation.
Yes. Put subjects on the transcript, and add courses taken elsewhere, with credits and grades. The app builds a transcript PDF across every school year, with weighted and unweighted GPA, test scores and activities, and a course-descriptions document to go with it.
Yes. Grade any lesson as a percentage, a score like 18/20 or a letter. Each subject keeps its average, and report cards with your comments print for a quarter, a semester or the whole year.
Yes. Add each child's days and hours so far (and core hours, where your state counts them) as totals from before the app. They count toward the year's targets and appear on the attendance and hours reports. You can also mark earlier days present in the attendance calendar.
Yes. Link a subject across children, like a morning basket or a shared science, and it shows once on Today for all of them. One check-off records the lesson and its hours for each child.
Yes. Planning, checking off, attendance, hours and reports all work without a connection. Only ads and purchases need the internet.
Yes. It works on iPad as well as iPhone, and on Android phones and tablets.
