Cubbyed is the classical-education app built for the way real children actually learn — through repetition, primary sources, and teachers who care. A FULL CLASSICAL CURRICULUM, K–12 Lessons in mathematics, grammar, Latin, logic, history, rhetoric, literature, and natural philosophy. Every subject is taught the classical way: from first principles, with the great books, and a teacher (not an algorithm) in the loop. MATH AS PUZZLES, NOT TESTS The Math Puzzle Lab presents every problem as a drag-and-drop puzzle. Wooden tiles slide into cubby-shaped slots. Wrong pieces don't get a red X — they simply don't fit. Right pieces explain the rule they prove. The Five Universal Rules of Math (place value, the four operations, the commutative/associative/distributive properties, equation balance, and the inverse principle) are practiced to automaticity. The post-it-on-the-fridge promise: calculus before freshman year. AGE-AWARE COACHING Cubbyed knows whether it is talking to a 1st grader or a high-school senior. K–5 get Captain Cubby's "POW! Nailed it!" cheers. 6–8 get Coach Nova's "locked in." 9–12 get Professor Sage's "mastery pace." Every prompt, every reaction, calibrated to who is holding the device. FRESH LESSONS EVERY DAY An on-device AI agent generates a daily learning gem and a fresh full lesson for every grade band, every night. Nothing reaches a student until a teacher or parent has approved it. Every item is fact-checked by a second AI pass before review. The library does not get stale. CLASSICAL LIBRARY + READER Homer, Plato, Shakespeare, Euclid, Aristotle, Cicero, the U.S. Constitution, Common Sense, Pride and Prejudice — the great works, free forever. Built-in reader with bookmarks, page notes, Dark / Sepia / Light themes, and class-shared annotations. HISTORY CARDS A binder of digital baseball cards for the world's great figures — Socrates to MLK, with verified facts and primary-source quotes. Tap any card to flip it. KNOWLEDGE CONSTELLATION The K-through-calculus math curriculum rendered as a star map. A child can literally see calculus glowing at the bottom of the screen on day one — the path made visible. SAT & ACT PREP — BUILT RIGHT IN Ten focused minutes a day, starting in 7th grade. By test day a student has accumulated hundreds of practice questions, real test-taking strategies, and genuine content mastery. No separate course. No extra cost. SAFETY AND SECURITY — ARCHITECTURE, NOT MARKETING Default-deny database rules. Owner-only profile access. No student-to-student messaging. No advertising. No behavioral tracking. No data brokers. TLS 1.3 + HSTS preload. Apple In-App Purchase on iOS — Cubbyed never sees a card number. FERPA-aligned, COPPA-compliant design. Full policy at https://cubbyed.com/security. FAMILY CUBBY Optional subscription for up to four students per family. Monthly or annual, with Family Sharing on. Cancel any time in Settings.

Turn one question into a little lesson and fresh practice. LearnMore helps parents create a learning pack from a photo, a picture selected from their library, or a typed example question. Each pack includes a short lesson, 10 practice questions, a separate 10-question quiz, visual explanations where useful, and a parent answer key. PARENTS LEAD THE WAY Review the question, lesson and answer key before assigning a pack. Choose a meaningful reward, hand the device to your learner, and review their effort afterward in Parent Space. AI can make mistakes; parent review is essential. SPACE TO SHOW THEIR THINKING Learners can type explanations or draw their work. Selected quiz answers are scored on the device. Written and drawn reasoning is saved for parent review, not automatically graded by AI. Print a worksheet with room for work and a separate answer key. LEARNING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Separate parent and learner PINs protect each space. New learner profiles, answers, drawings, progress and rewards stay in encrypted app storage on that device. They do not sync across devices or go to OpenAI. There is no cloud backup or online recovery for local learning records or the device parent PIN. Removing the app or losing the device can lose those records. PARENT-ONLY AI Only a connected parent can send a reviewed question to OpenAI, with separate permission. Remove names, school details, faces, student IDs and all personal information before sending any photo or question. Children have no AI chat or generation controls. FAMILY PACKS One free pack per parent account. Optional Family and Family Plus subscriptions provide monthly pack allowances. Extra pack credits are available separately and do not expire. Monthly allowances do not roll over. No extra-child fee. A pack credit is used only when the complete pack is successfully saved. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled through Apple account settings; deleting an account does not cancel a subscription. Prices and billing terms appear before purchase. Downloaded learning remains available on its device after cancellation. Rewards are parent promises, not automatic screen-time controls. This update replaces the previous grade-based curriculum with parent-created question packs. Existing sign-ins and historical cloud records are preserved, but are not automatically imported into device-only learning.
