TutorTally is the simple way for private tutors and teachers to run their practice — track lessons, manage students, send professional invoices, and see exactly what you've earned, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Built for music teachers, language tutors, coaches, and academic instructors who'd rather teach than wrestle with spreadsheets. Your first two students are free, with every feature included: invoices, reminders, groups and reports. For more students, pay once and keep it, or subscribe monthly or yearly. Both subscriptions start with a 7-day free trial. YOUR TEACHING DAY See today's lessons at a glance. Mark Done with one tap. Add notes after each session. Track who showed up, who cancelled, and what comes next this week. SCHEDULE THAT RUNS ITSELF Set up recurring lessons that repeat every 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks — weekly, fortnightly, or whatever your students actually book — and change the interval later without starting over. Choose your own lesson length, and update already-scheduled lessons in one tap. Reschedule any single lesson without breaking the pattern. Add ad-hoc lessons for makeups or trials. Turn on calendar sync if you like, and your lessons show up in your calendar. TEACH GROUPS, BILL ONCE Add a class, ensemble, or study group as a single client. Set the headcount, list the participants when you know them, and name the contact person who pays. One price, one payer, one invoice — with their own sections in Students, Tuition, and Reports. TWO WAYS TO BILL Per-Lesson or Monthly Package — pick the right billing mode per student. Set the price per lesson and edit the package Total right beside it. Track partial payments, outstanding balances, and payment history without spreadsheets. Unpaid balances carry forward into later months until they're settled, so nothing quietly disappears. Turn on the optional weekly summary and get a nudge when someone still owes you — silence means everyone's paid. PROFESSIONAL INVOICES Generate PDF invoices and receipts in seconds, running to as many pages as a busy month needs. Send them through email or any sharing app. Keep every document organized in your Saved Invoices archive. HOW TO PAY, ON EVERY INVOICE Add your own payment details once — Venmo, PayPal, MobilePay, LINE Pay, a bank transfer, UPI or IBAN, or any link or QR code you already use. Every invoice and every reminder then carries a "How to pay" block, so your students can pay you directly. TutorTally never handles the money. KNOW YOUR BUSINESS See your total income this month, your top-earning students, your busiest days, and how this month compares to last. Stacked monthly bar charts show income breakdown across both billing modes. MAKE IT YOURS Customize terminology to match how you work — call them Students, Clients, Athletes, Members, or Pupils. Call sessions Lessons, Classes, or Appointments. 12 or 24-hour time. English, Danish, Chinese, Japanese and Polish. Your app, your words. PHOTOS, AUDIO, AND NOTES Capture sheet music with markings, record a student's performance, or jot down what to practice next. Every lesson, every detail, in one place. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account to create, no login to remember. Your students, lessons, and payments live on your device and ride along in your iCloud backup automatically. Syncing between iPhone, iPad and Mac through iCloud is optional and stays off until you turn it on. The app sends anonymous usage counts to see which features matter most, never names, amounts or student details.

Teacher Sync is the all-in-one schedule and workload manager built for teachers juggling multiple classes, prep periods, duties, parent meetings, and grading deadlines. Stay on top of every block in your day—from bell-to-bell scheduling to end-of-day recaps. See at a glance how many classes you're teaching, open to-dos, prep time available, and meetings lined up. Compare your teaching load across weeks, mark holidays and snow days so they don't throw off your planning, and keep detailed follow-up notes tied directly to each class or meeting. Key Features: Schedule Management. Add, edit, and organize every class, prep period, duty, meeting, and break. See your full week at a time, navigate forward and backward through the school year, and mark no-school days so they're hidden from your schedule and teaching-load calculations. Teaching Load Tracking. Visualize your contact hours week-by-week with an interactive chart. Browse ahead to see busy weeks coming, compare this week to last week, and understand your true workload at a glance. Followup Notes & Tasks. Jot down meeting recaps, parent conference outcomes, lesson reflections, and reminders for next class. All notes are searchable and organized by day so nothing gets lost in the shuffle. Create grading and to-do items tied to specific events, mark them done as you go, and clear completed work off your plate. Rotating Schedule Support. For schools running A/B days, A–E day rotations, or multi-day cycles, Teacher Sync tracks your rotation automatically. Set your anchor date once and the cycle advances each school day—weekends and breaks don't throw it off. Recurring Classes. Add a class that meets every weekday at the same time and Teacher Sync generates occurrences automatically, week after week. No more re-entering the same period five times a week. PDF Export & Sharing. Export your daily or weekly schedule as a polished PDF—perfect for leaving with a substitute, emailing parents, or printing for your desk. Calendar Sync. Optionally sync your schedule to the Calendar app so it shows up in widgets, on your Lock Screen, and when you ask Siri what's next. Recap Notifications. Opt into friendly end-of-day and Friday recap notifications so you always know how many classes you taught and what's left on your to-do list. Your schedule, tasks, notes, and settings stay entirely on your device—no account, no login, no servers. Teacher Sync is built for privacy from the ground up. Start managing your teaching day with clarity and calm. Download Teacher Sync today.
