La Boîte à Profs is the free, offline tool designed to simplify your daily life as a teacher. No account needed. No internet required. No ads. Just a simple tool that does what you need, right from your phone. MANAGE YOUR CLASSES - Create as many classes as you need - Add students manually, one by one - Or import your lists from an Excel file (.xlsx), CSV, TSV or TXT - Smart import wizard detects your columns and shows a preview before importing - Tap a student to open their profile and manage their relationships with classmates - Archive classes at the end of the year to keep a clean history RANDOM DRAW Need to pick a student at random? A volunteer for the board? - Draw a student in one tap - The app keeps track: every student gets picked before anyone is drawn again - Already-drawn students are visually crossed out - Reset the cycle whenever you want - You can also manually mark a student as drawn or not RANDOM GROUPS No more wasting 10 minutes forming groups by hand. - Choose group size (2, 3, 4, or 5 students) - Uncheck absent students - Shuffle with one tap - Smart groups: favor students who get along, separate those who don't - The app avoids repeating the same pairs across saved generations - A red conflict indicator warns you when incompatible students end up together - Not satisfied? Re-shuffle as many times as you want - Save your groups with a name (e.g., "Science Project") - Find them later with full version history - Export as CSV or text, or share directly SEATING PLAN Recreate your classroom's layout and place your students visually. - Several plans per class (morning lessons, by groups…) - Adjustable grid, linked cells for islands, disabled cells for missing corners - Mark room objects (sink, plant…) or add your own custom decorations - Drag students between seats, or let the app place them with relationships in mind - Teacher's desk at the top or the bottom of the plan - Export as a printable PDF, ready to tape on the desk, handy for substitutes - Project the plan on the classroom screen via web display ASSESSMENT TIMER A simple, configurable timer for exams and assessments. - Set a base duration with a visual dial - Enable extended time (tiers temps) for students with accommodations - Add intermediate alerts (half-time, 15 min, 5 min remaining) - Choose end signal: vibration, sound, or both - Timer keeps running in the background with notifications - Project the timer on the classroom screen via web display WEB DISPLAY Project your groups onto the classroom screen. No cable, no USB stick. - Open the web display in the projector's browser, then scan the QR code - Your groups appear on screen, readable from the back of the room, with nothing left on the relay OBSERVATION NOTEBOOK Keep track of what you see in class. - Record an observation in one gesture: press and hold a student, then pick the category - Find the dated history in the student's profile, and delete a note recorded by mistake - The class report shows who has been observed, and who has not STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS From a student's profile, mark which pairs get along and which don't. Random groups and seating-plan auto-placement both take it into account; a conflict indicator warns when incompatible students end up together. La Boîte à Profs was built by an independent developer, in direct contact with teachers. The app evolves based on your feedback. Got a suggestion? Found a bug? Contact us directly from the app.
