Namfus brings the whole school community into one app — kindergartens, schools and municipalities. Families, students, teachers and school leaders each get their own view of the same school day. FOR FAMILIES All your children in one place, from kindergarten through school. See the timetable, homework and grades, follow attendance, and report an absence in a few taps — with a note, a time window, or a document when the school asks for one. If your child is in kindergarten, you get their whole day: when they arrived and who dropped them off, what they ate, how long they slept, diaper changes, mood, and the staff's notes home. Photos from the day appear in the app, and you decide which kinds of photo sharing you consent to. You can also change who collects your child, request new stay times, and sign up for extra registration days. FOR STUDENTS Your timetable, your homework, your attendance and your results — the school day on your phone. FOR TEACHERS Everything for the lesson you are teaching right now. Take attendance in a single screen — present, absent, late, excused — record behaviour and any other categories your school has set up, read the lesson plan, and assign homework without leaving the class. Still on paper attendance sheets? Scan the QR code at the top, photograph the sheet, and Namfus reads the marks for you. Rows it is unsure about are flagged for review, and the name column is cropped out before the image is ever sent. FOR SCHOOL LEADERS Keep the school in sync. Today's attendance, trends by weekday, by class and across the school year, staff absences, and which lessons still need cover. Approve reported absences and staff leave as they come in. And when someone needs help right now, Quick Response alerts the whole response team and shows you who is on the way. FOR MUNICIPALITIES District administrators see every school at once — students, staff, absences and unfilled cover across the district. BUILT FOR SCHOOLS • Available in Icelandic, English, Danish, German, Swedish and Norwegian • Messages from the school are translated automatically into your language • Hold more than one role, or work across more than one school? Switch between them without signing out • Push notifications for the things that actually concern you Namfus is provided through your school or municipality. You will need an account from them to sign in.
