About

SeatMaker

Read full description

SeatMaker is a seat-shuffling app built for teachers who need more than random. β€’ Five constraint types, actually honored Fixed seats, front-row placement, keep-apart pairs, sit-together pairs, and boy-girl alternation β€” 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. β€’ 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. β€’ Share or export instantly Confirmed seating charts share as an image immediately. Upgrade to Pro for PDF export β€” perfect for printing and posting. β€’ 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. β€’ Flexible seating layouts Rows and columns up to 8Γ—8, with individual seats disabled for absences or irregular layouts. β€’ No account, no login, no internet required Everything stays on your device β€” 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 β€” no subscription.
