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.

Næsta stig er forrit fyrir iPad og iPhone þar sem barnið leysir stærðfræði með eigin hendi, með Apple Pencil eða fingri, eins og á blað. Gervigreindarkennari les rithöndina og gefur endurgjöf á það sem barnið skrifaði í alvöru: svarið, uppsetninguna og vinnubrögðin. HVERNIG ÞAÐ VIRKAR • Stöðumat: stutt próf, skrifað með penna, sem finnur hvar barnið stendur • Daglegur skammtur: um 20 mínútur á dag - æfing, orðadæmi og upprifjun • Flest dæmi eru skrifuð með útreikningunum, og endurgjöfin fjallar um vinnubrögðin, ekki bara svarið • Fljót endurgjöf um verkefnið sjálft: hvað var rétt, hvað má laga og hvernig • Næsti kafli opnast við kunnáttu, ekki þegar tíminn líður AÐALNÁMSKRÁIN Efnið fylgir aðalnámskrá grunnskóla fyrir 1. til 10. bekk, þáttur fyrir þátt: tölur og reikningur, algebra, rúmfræði og mælingar, tölfræði og líkindi. FYRIR FORELDRA Hver einasta skrifaða lausn geymist í tækinu. Þú getur flett í gegnum raunveruleg vinnubrögð barnsins, séð hvar það rennur til, og fylgst með færninni vaxa, færni fyrir færni. PERSÓNUVERND Engir reikningar. Engar auglýsingar. Engin rakning. Vinna barnsins geymist í tækinu, ekki hjá okkur. Myndin af skriftinni fer aðeins til Claude hjá Anthropic til yfirferðar og við geymum hana aldrei: hún er unnin í minni. Anthropic eyðir henni innan 30 daga, eða innan tveggja ára ef öryggiskerfi þess merkja misnotkun, og notar hana aldrei til að þjálfa gervigreind. Nafnlausar námstölur fylgja engu barni og engu tæki. ÁSKRIFT Ein áskrift, mánaðar- eða ársáskrift, gildir fyrir tvö börn og einn fullorðinn. Greiðsla er skuldfærð á Apple-reikninginn við staðfestingu kaupa, eða þegar prufutíma lýkur ef byrjað er á honum. Áskriftin endurnýjast sjálfkrafa nema henni sé sagt upp í síðasta lagi sólarhring fyrir lok tímabilsins. Þú stýrir áskriftinni og segir henni upp í stillingum Apple-reikningsins. Persónuverndarstefna: https://naestastig.app/personuvernd Skilmálar: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Smíðað á Íslandi af foreldri sem vildi betra verkfæri fyrir sitt barn. IN ENGLISH Next Level Math is an app for iPad and iPhone where children solve maths by hand, with Apple Pencil or a finger, the way they would on paper. An AI tutor reads the handwriting and responds to what the child actually wrote: the answer, the layout and the working. HOW IT WORKS • A short handwritten placement test finds where the child really is • About 20 minutes a day: practice, word problems and review • Most problems are written out with the working, and the feedback is about the working, not just the answer • Quick feedback about this problem: what was right, what to fix and how • The next chapter opens on mastery, not on the calendar THE CURRICULUM Content follows the Icelandic national curriculum for years 1 to 10, strand by strand: number and arithmetic, algebra, geometry and measurement, statistics and probability. FOR PARENTS Every written solution stays on the device. You can page through your child's real working, see where they slip, and watch each skill grow. PRIVACY No accounts. No ads. No tracking. The child's work stays on the device, not with us. The photo of the handwriting goes to Claude at Anthropic only to be marked, and we never store it: it is processed in memory. Anthropic deletes it within 30 days, or within two years if its safety systems flag misuse, and never uses it to train AI. Anonymous learning statistics are tied to no child and no device. SUBSCRIPTION One subscription, monthly or yearly, covers two children and one grown-up. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or when the free trial ends if you start with one. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage and cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Privacy policy: https://naestastig.app/en/privacy Built in Iceland by a parent who wanted a better tool for their own child.
