iPhone/iPad app designed for educators. Interactive seating charts for attendance, homework, behavior tracking, and fire drills. Features automatic random student picker (picks evenly, skips absentees), group creation tools, drag-and-drop seat layout, CSV import, and printable summaries. All data stored securely on-device (no cloud). Free download with optional in-app purchase for larger classes.
Built at the request of a family member (high school science teacher). Used by hundreds of teachers worldwide. Recently enhanced with round student photo support and ongoing SwiftUI updates.
Avialable for Apple (iPad, iPhone, Apple Silicon Mac) and Android (Smartphones and Tablets)... The android and apple versions are not feature-equal at this time, they were developed at different periods at different paces, and are both being regularly updated. Screenshots here are from the Apple version.
