LAP is the simplest way to track lesson attendance and payment cycles for instructors who teach in weekly slots. LAP requires an auto-renewing subscription to use ($2.99/month after a 7-day free trial — full details below). Built for swim schools, music teachers, fitness trainers, language tutors, dance instructors, and anyone else who runs a roster of regular students. Define your weekly schedule once. Each week, tap to mark who showed up. When a student completes their package — 8 lessons by default, but configurable per student — LAP reminds you it's time to collect payment. That's the whole loop. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE LAP has no backend, no account, no sign-up. The studio owner is the only user. Your students never see the app. Your data lives in a local database that gets backed up to your iCloud. KEY FEATURES • Weekly schedule — define class times once, LAP repeats them automatically • Group or individual lessons, with optional labels and capacity limits • Tap to mark present, long-press for absent — daily attendance in seconds • Per-student payment cycles — default package size of 8, configurable per student • Amber "Payment Due" alerts when a cycle completes • Calendar view with per-day cancellations for holidays • Searchable student list, with payment-due students at the top • Notes, contact info, and call/WhatsApp shortcuts on each student profile • Local push reminders before each lesson (configurable, off by default) • Daily automatic backups kept on your device (last 7 days) • Manual JSON export to back up anywhere — Files app, email, Drive • Full support for Turkish, English, German, and Spanish • Light and dark themes, system or manual DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY LAP looks calm, reads quickly, and respects your time. There are no notifications you didn't ask for, no analytics, no "engagement" tricks. It's a tool, not a feed. SUBSCRIPTION LAP requires an auto-renewing subscription to use after the free trial. All features are unlocked with this single subscription — there are no tiers and no additional in-app purchases. • Title: LAP Premium (Monthly) • Length: 1 month, auto-renewable • Price: $2.99 per month, after a 7-day free trial Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews monthly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
