The String app for families

  • With a school or without
  • On your child's own book
  • AI that understands your child

Know your child's level on every page of the textbook.

Track their progress day by day, help them with their studying, so your help lands where it is needed. Every evening you find exactly what's missing, and where to start with them.

The app is free, and not a trial that runs out. It has an optional premium subscription.

Sample data

A grade tells you where your child ended up. It won't tell you how.

“84 out of 100” is an honest number, and not enough. It won't name the skill that pulled it down, or the moment your child's attention went, or the sentence that would have been enough on Tuesday evening. All of that is what String is here to say.

Every evening, one card and one sentence

One card or two. Each names a subject, a skill, the week's direction, and a sentence written for your child alone. No general advice that fits every child.

A moment of pride

The daily read

A reading of your child's day, not a score

Three rings and one sentence, complete by the end of the day.

Sample dataCompletes this evening

Two days from the same month

A good day

  • Came to itUptake78%
  • Started sharpEnergy81%
  • Stayed with itStaying power76%

And the day before

  • Less pull toward itUptake64%
  • A shorter dayEnergy58%
  • Focus came and wentStaying power55%

One low day is not a result. The difference between these two days is a question to ask at home, not a verdict on your child.

These rings are read from the play sessions alone: how long your child played, how long they kept at it, how they answered. They are asked nothing.
  • What it reads

    We describe the session itself: whether they started quickly, whether they finished it, whether their focus broke up, and when they stopped. A description of a day's play, not a psychological measurement.

    • How long they played, and how long they kept at it
    • Where they got it right, and where they hesitated
    • The answer's timing, and the second try after it
    • When they stopped
  • What it does not read

    Your child is not asked anything, is not made to rate their day, and is not tested.

    • No question is put to your child
    • No camera, no recording
    • It is not a test and not a psychological assessment
  • What you do with it

    One low day is not a result. Read it as the opening of a question at home, and if it repeats across a week, message the teacher from inside the app.

    • Ask something specific instead of “how was their day”
    • Compare the day with their own previous days, nobody else's
    • Message the teacher when a pattern repeats
What it reads, and what it does not

They play · we read · you know: three steps, none of them yours

A game is not a reward after the lesson. It is the lesson.

Every game rests on one named skill, not a whole subject. In every attempt there is a signal: the answer, its timing, the hesitation before it, the second try after.

We read the trace of the play. We do not read your child.

Every game has its lesson, and every lesson its page in the book. And you're free to browse your child's curriculum on the site before downloading anything ›

And what brings them back tomorrow?

The game is short, its lesson is one they know from class, and it is nothing like homework. What they play is what they study, so play is not time stolen from study. They have their points and their run of days, and there is nothing to buy inside the game. And if they stop, you'll know, because the daily read doesn't hide an empty day.

Twenty to thirty minutes a day is enough for them. We don't reward long sittings, and playing longer gives them nothing. The daily read shows you the minutes, so if they climb, you'll see it.

Where they got to, and how

Every number here comes from a real session. Open any session and look: when it was, how long it ran, and how many of its questions they got right.

We show you the line falling as readily as rising, because anything that hides a decline is not a report. And one day is not a result — the read is read across a week.

Your child's book, page by page

Every page of the book is in front of you, each with its colour: mastered · good · progressing · needs help · not started. Every parent asks the same thing — where exactly is my child? This is the answer.

How your child learns, and where they stall

What they like to learn, how they behave when they are wrong, when they give up, and what brings them back. Their fingerprint reaches you written as chapters you read, not a test result. One of them is for you alone: how to stand behind them at home.

128 profiles, 13 chapters authored in each, in Arabic and in English.

From the parent's chapter

What you see, what it means, what to say tonight

Your child's profile carries a chapter written to you, not a summary of what they read. This is one complete example from it.

Archetype — The Pattern Seeker

  1. What you see

    They sit in front of their homework for ten minutes without writing a word.

  2. What it means

    This is not avoidance. They need to see the whole picture before they can start on the details, and that building happens in their head before it reaches the page.

  3. What you do

    Give them a few minutes before stepping in. If it runs long, ask about the picture and not the step: “what is the big idea in this question?”

Every profile has its own chapter, in Arabic and in English, without exception.

Not everything that reaches you is a correction

A moment of pride

Sara finished a challenge that was hard for her last week, and came out of it smiling.

Some days need no correcting. They need someone to notice them.

The full report

You press one button and everything so far gathers into a report in plain language, no jargon: where they started, where they are, what changed, and what isn't finished.

All of this works without a school

Everything you have read so far works from home, with no school and nobody's permission. What a school adds is its own school day — it gives you that, it does not require it of you.

And what you pay for needs no school at all.

What always works, with no school

  • Hundreds of games
  • The daily read
  • The evening card and its sentence
  • Progress and mastery in every subject
  • The skills inside each subject
  • Your child's book, page by page
  • The session log
  • The 30-day movement
  • Points and the run of days
  • Your child's fingerprint
  • The full report
  • The whole curriculum
  • Moments of pride

What a school adds, free

  • Attendance and absence
  • Forms and electronic signatures
  • Messaging teachers and the office
  • School announcements
  • Tomorrow's bag and the uniform
  • The way there and back
  • The grades card
  • Upcoming tests and their dates
  • The teacher's daily note
  • The comparison with the class average

The first two weeks

Day 1: the first play session, and the first read that evening. Day 7: the first weekly direction. Day 14: the fingerprint is complete — and that's when you decide.

The free version is free forever, and it is not a trial that runs out. We don't sell your child's data and we don't hand it to advertisers. Free means free, and nothing is taken in place of money. School services are free for everyone, so we don't charge a parent to sign a trip permission. And if you cancel, we won't ask why.

And we don't do your child's homework for them — we tell you what they're missing before the two of you sit down to it.

What you get

Privacy

What we don't do

  • We do not sell your child's data

    We do not hand it to advertisers, and we do not train our software on it.

  • We do not ask your child about their feelings

    We do not use the camera, and we run no test. What we collect, and why, is written out in full on the privacy page.

  • We do not give you a report card

    We put no mark on them and pass no verdict. We draw a map.

  • We do not do your child's homework

    We get them ready to do it themselves, and the two are not the same thing.

  • We are not a substitute for the teacher

    You ask the teacher a specific question instead of a general one, and the conversation is worth more to both of you.

  • We do not announce your child's rank

    A rank tells you who came first. We tell you what is missing. Inside the app there is an optional comparison with the class average, folded inside “Learn more,” and it appears only if their school is on String. Your child never sees it.

What we actually do with the data, written out

The hard questions, answered straight

What parents ask before they start. No overselling, and no promises we can't keep.

From the play itself. In every attempt there is a signal: the answer, its timing, the hesitation before it. The algorithms read that trace, not the child. There is no separate test, and no question is put to your child.

We read the session's trace: how long it ran, where they got it right, where they hesitated. No camera, no test, and no question about their feelings.

We describe the session itself: whether they started quickly, whether they finished it, whether their focus broke up, and when they stopped. A description of a day's play, not a psychological measurement. That is why it is read across a week, and never compared with anyone.

Twenty to thirty minutes. We don't reward long sittings, and playing longer gives them nothing.

We announce no rank. A rank tells you who came first; we tell you what is missing, skill by skill. And if their school is on String, there is an optional comparison with the class average inside “Learn more” — and your child does not see it.

All grades. Each grade has its own curriculum and its own games, so what your child plays is what they are studying this year.

No. One device at home is enough — your child plays on it, and you read in the evening.

You. And if their school is on String, the school sees what it created itself. We do not sell the data, we do not hand it to advertisers, and we do not train our software on it. What we collect, and why, is written on the privacy page.

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we collect and why is written out in full on the privacy page.

In Arabic from beginning to end, not a half-finished translation. In English too, and you choose each child's language separately.

The app itself is free however many children you have. The optional premium comes two ways: the family plan is one monthly subscription for any number of children, and Premium is one per child. Neither price is published yet.

No. Grades are the assessment, and they come from the school. The daily read describes one day, and one day is not a result.

No. You ask the teacher a specific question instead of a general one, and the conversation is worth more to both of you.

You go back to the free version, which is free forever. Ask us to delete your account and we do, and we will not ask why.

No. The games, the daily read, the evening card, progress, the fingerprint and the report all work from home. A school adds its own school day, and nothing else.
