MomSchooler takes the hardest part of homeschooling off your plate. Every morning, your personalized teaching day is ready. Lessons built around what your kids actually love. Worksheets with real exercises you can print and hand over. Step-by-step instructions for every subject, even the ones you've never taught. Progress that tracks itself while you teach. You plan nothing. You prep nothing. You just open the app and start. WHAT YOU GET Personalized daily plans Each lesson connects to your child's real interests. If your kid loves dinosaurs, their math problems have dinosaurs. If they love baking, their science lesson is kitchen chemistry. Not generic templates, actual personalization. Printable worksheets Math, reading, writing, science, and history lessons come with real exercises. Print as a PDF or send to your printer. A separate answer key makes grading simple. Step-by-step teaching instructions Every lesson tells you exactly what to say, what to ask, and what to do. Written for moms, not classroom teachers. No prep, no guesswork. My Day timeline See every child's activities together in one view, grouped by time. Built for moms managing multiple kids who need to know what's happening at 10am across the whole household. Smart sibling coordination When two kids are doing the same subject and close in age, they get a combined lesson. When subjects or ages differ, the other child gets independent work tied to their interests. You're never pulled in two directions. Curriculum progress tracking Skills are logged automatically as your kids complete lessons. See what's been practiced, what's been mastered, and what needs attention next. Motivation that sticks XP, badges, streaks, and a Daily Champion counter keep the whole family moving forward without nagging.

Bowerstead

Bowerstead is a calm home for your homeschool records. Plan the week. Tap through the day as it happens. The record builds itself, so when someone asks what you covered, the answer is already written down. PLAN THE WAY YOUR WEEK ACTUALLY GOES Lay out subjects and time blocks for each child by day, week, or month, then check them off as the day happens. Nothing needs to go to plan for the record to stay accurate. CAPTURE IT WHILE IT IS FRESH A photo of the work, a note, a grade. Ten seconds now beats an hour of reconstruction on Sunday night. ATTENDANCE AND GRADES THAT STAY CURRENT Days taught and assessments come from the same taps you were already making, so they are up to date without a separate bookkeeping session. EVERY YEAR HELD SEPARATELY When a child moves up a grade, last year stays exactly as you left it. History does not get rewritten by this year's changes. YOURS TO TAKE WITH YOU Export your records whenever you want, in a form you can hand to whoever is asking. Delete your account and its data from inside the app. BUILT AROUND THE PARENT You are the only person who signs in. Children never get accounts, are never contacted, and never see the app. A paid plan is required to use Bowerstead.
