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. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Stavebook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stavebook is a quiet place for music teachers to keep their studio: who they teach, when the lessons are, and what they asked each student to practice. Plan one-time or recurring lessons, then keep the real teaching record on the date it happened. Capture preparation notes, lesson notes, attendance, makeups, and practice assignments without losing the history when a schedule changes. Everything a teacher records stays theirs: • Keep a private roster, student notes, study tracks, milestones, repertoire progress, and qualitative musicianship observations. • Schedule lessons, terms, breaks, recitals, exams, holidays, and studio time in a focused calendar. • Build a repertoire library and start from an included catalog of common repertoire; assignments are copied into the dated journal so history stays intact. • Reuse lesson-plan routines, carry unfinished practice forward, and search your lesson journal. • Track books, scores, and instruments you lend, including due dates and loan history. • Export a student summary PDF, roster CSV, mileage and expense CSV, and a complete studio backup. Restore is built in. • See your next lesson on the Home Screen, use read-only Siri and Shortcuts actions, and find students with Spotlight. Stavebook uses your private iCloud database to keep your studio in sync across your own devices. There is no Stavebook account, no student app, no server, no analytics, and no advertising. Students never sign in and Stavebook never contacts them. Stavebook is free for up to five active or paused students, including lessons, the journal, repertoire, lesson plans, studio events, lending, expenses, backup, and sync. Stavebook Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription with monthly and yearly plans. It adds unlimited students, Lesson Preparation, Weekly Studio Review, Makeup Ledger, Lessons & Hours, and Export to Calendar. Both plans include a 14-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Prices vary by region and are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account after the trial, if offered, ends. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
