Another gradebook app? No. ClassTiles is the complete digital desk for teachers — ready to use in minutes, no training required. Grades, lesson planning, calendar, groups, seating charts, documentation, and class to-dos all work from one shared set of data: set up your class once, and every tool uses it instantly. WHAT MAKES CLASSTILES DIFFERENT • Start right away instead of studying menus: the smart grade table asks you a few questions and builds your individual table structure — no nested menus, no manual needed. • One data set instead of isolated tools: the exam grade, the project group, and tomorrow's seating chart all come from the same class and student data — nothing is maintained twice. • Your students' data stays with you: no user account, no vendor server, no ads, no tracking. The app works fully offline; if you choose to sync, it runs exclusively through your personal iCloud. • Buy once instead of subscribing: no running costs. • Truly native apps for iPad, iPhone, and Mac — not a web service in an app shell. GRADING THAT FITS YOUR TEACHING • Every class gets gradebooks with freely designed tabs — exams, oral participation, terms, projects: you define the structure. • Custom grading scales, including symbol and level scales (e.g. "achieved / partly / not achieved") — great for primary school and special education. • Weighting, configurable rounding, and statistics with averages, distribution, and trends: see at a glance where a class or a single student stands. • Export as PDF and Excel — for grading conferences, parent meetings, or your records. FROM GRADEBOOK TO CLASSROOM • Groups at the tap of a button: mixed-ability, similar-ability, or random — based on your actual grades, optionally gender-balanced. • Seating charts created quickly and adjusted just as fast. • Record observations, conversations, and classroom events per student — everything at hand for the next parent meeting. PLAN & ORGANIZE • Weekly calendar view with your timetable; handwritten notes with Apple Pencil (iPad). • Prepare lessons with materials and attachments. • Class tasks: to-do lists for everything around your class — field trip, parents' evening, supplies. Use them on your own or share them via link with your class team: everyone sees what's open and what's done, and checks things off together. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL • Everything lives on your device. iCloud sync is optional and uses only your own iCloud account. • Back up wherever you want: locally, to iCloud Drive, or to your own WebDAV server (e.g. Nextcloud) — encrypted if you wish. • No data collection by the developer. PRICING — FAIR, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Start free with one class — try ClassTiles in real school life. • The full version (unlimited classes, tabs, and exports) is a one-time purchase. Data you have already entered is never locked. Questions or ideas? classtiles@icloud.com — feedback flows directly into development.
