Take Your Seat

Seating charts shouldn't take half your planning period. Take Your Seat puts you in control of your classroom layout with an intuitive randomly assigned and/or drag-and-drop seating chart that works the way you think. Set up your room, add your students, and assign seats — by hand or with a single tap to randomize. When you need to shake things up mid-semester, rearranging takes seconds, not minutes. - Manage every class in one place. Create separate classrooms, each with its own roster, layout, and color. Switch between classes instantly. Whether you teach two periods or eight, your seating charts are always one tap away. - Build your room, your way. Configure each classroom with up to 10 rows and 12 seats per row. SeatR adapts to lecture halls, lab tables, small groups — whatever your room grid looks like. - Drag, drop, done. Assign students to desks by dragging from the unassigned list. Swap two students by dragging one onto the other. Remove a student from their seat with a long press. Every interaction feels natural. - Randomize in one tap. Start fresh with randomized seating assignments whenever you want. Great for the first day of school, first day of a new semester (like I use it), group rotations, or keeping things interesting. - Export polished PDFs. Share or print a professional seating chart or student roster as a PDF — perfect for substitutes, admin, or your own records. - Designed for iPad and iPhone. Full-featured on both devices. Larger desks and spacious layouts on iPad; compact, scrollable grids on iPhone. - Built for teachers, by a teacher. No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. Just a focused, reliable tool that respects your time and your students' privacy. Your data stays on your device.
