SeatMaker is a seat-shuffling app built for teachers who need more than random. • Five constraint types, actually honored Fixed seats, front-row placement, keep-apart pairs, sit-together pairs, and boy-girl alternation — combine as many as you need, and SeatMaker solves for a layout that satisfies all of them. If no valid layout exists, it never fails silently: you get a clear hint about which constraint is the bottleneck. • Re-roll until it feels right A roulette-style reveal makes the moment. Don't like the result? Re-roll as many times as you want before confirming. • Share or export instantly Confirmed seating charts share as an image immediately. Upgrade to Pro for PDF export — perfect for printing and posting. • Bulk-import your roster Paste names copied from a roster app or spreadsheet to add your whole class at once. Manual add and edit are also supported. • Flexible seating layouts Rows and columns up to 8×8, with individual seats disabled for absences or irregular layouts. • No account, no login, no internet required Everything stays on your device — nothing is ever sent off-device. Try it free with up to 2 classes and 3 constraints. When you need more, a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited classes/constraints and PDF export — no subscription.
