A tour of the app

Everything about your child's school, on one screen

Nine screens your child's school opens inside the same app, and you pay nothing for them. Everything else works without a school.

Sample data

Everything on the home screen

The day

  • Attendance and absence — A monthly attendance calendar, with counters for present, absent and late.
  • The way there and back — Their usual way, with a 7-day log and the arrival time each day.
  • The teacher's note — The teacher's note reaches you each day, written in their name.

School

  • Forms and signatures — Sign with your finger and the signature reaches the school immediately.
  • Messages — You write to them, or send a voice note, and you see when it was read.
  • Announcements — The school's announcements on one side, your child's class on the other.

Study

  • Tomorrow's bag — Tomorrow's list from the school's own timetable: the books and the uniform.
  • The grades card — The grade broken into its parts, not one opaque number at the end of term.
  • Upcoming tests — The exam topics as the teacher published them, and a revision plan in three steps.

Inside the app

Your child's day, summed up

  • Today's note

    The day in one sentence, a note from the teacher with their name and its date, and a button to write back.

  • Uptake, energy and staying power

    Three readings of the day, read from the play sessions alone, without asking your child anything.

  • Previous days

    Go back through your child's previous days to see whether today is an exception or a pattern.

What the school sends you

  • Attendance, day by day

    A month calendar in three states: 17 days present, 2 absent, 2 late. Tap a day to see its periods.

  • Forms you sign on the phone

    A trip permission or a school form: fill the fields, sign with your finger, send. No paper to lose in a bag.

  • Calendar and dates

    What is coming up at school, entered by the school itself.

  • Today's pickup

    How your child is getting home today, before the day ends.

Grades, and what they mean

  • The grades card

    The term's grade broken open: first and second tests, the project, the final, plus quizzes and assignments — not one closed number.

  • A short summary and a full report

    A line saying what your child has mastered and what to focus on next, and a button that builds the full report when you want it.

  • Mastery and improvement over time

    Each subject has a mastery figure, a quick summary, and a chart of your child's improvement over time.

  • Tomorrow's bag

    Tomorrow's uniform and books as a tick list, so the bag is packed tonight rather than at the door.

More than one child, one account

Each child has their own full screen, and you switch between them with one tap at the top — no signing out and back in.

The assistant — Coming soon

It will suggest questions to open a conversation with your child, show weekly analysis that surfaces patterns, and answer what you ask about your child's learning.

Your child's school not on String?

All of this works without a school. What a school adds is its own school day.
