Homeschool Scheduler keeps your whole family organized: lessons, chores, routines, meals and rewards in one place. Homeschooling? Add lessons too. Not homeschooling? Use it as your family organizer. PLAN THE DAY, THE WEEK, THE YEAR See everyone's day at a glance, then switch to a task board, day, week or month view. Drag lessons and tasks to another day, take a day off and let lessons move forward, and catch up with one tap when you fall behind. LESSONS, YOUR WAY Add curriculum from any publisher, or your own. Scan a contents page and the lessons fill in for you. Set the days and pace, write lesson names by hand, and teach a course to several children together. The app works out the finish date and keeps it updated. CHORES AND ROUTINES Daily, weekly or every few days; once a day or several times. Share chores, take turns, and add a picture so younger children know what to do. MEALS Plan the week's meals, save your recipes, and see today's menu on the family board. FAMILY BULLETIN BOARD Pin notes for the whole family or one child: reminders, announcements, photos and lists, right where everyone checks their day. REWARDS KIDS LOVE Children earn coins for finished work and spend them on rewards you choose. Each child has a companion that grows with their work, with outfits, homes and tiny sidekicks to unlock in the shop. Quest & Treasure adds treasure chests along the way, and you can turn it off. KIDS MODE AND APPROVALS Hand a phone or tablet to your child in Kids Mode: they see only their own work, and a PIN keeps your settings safe. Ask for approval before work counts, and get a notification when it's ready to review. TRACK PROGRESS AND RECORDS See where each child stands, with progress, pace, attendance toward your school-day goal, grades, hours and a reading log. Export transcripts and progress reports as PDFs for state reporting, portfolio reviews or end-of-year records. THE WHOLE FAMILY, EVERY DEVICE Join phones and tablets with your family code and everyone stays in sync. Plan from your computer with the web Planner (Unleashed). Home-screen widgets show who's doing what today.
