Read full description

Lessonday is the planner for people who teach on their own. Paste the message you were sent: the date and time are read on your iPhone and filled in for you, and a student you already have is matched by name. REMINDED BEFORE, NOT AFTER Every lesson reminds you before it starts, with time to get there. See what is next the moment you open the app: who, when, where, and what you planned to cover. THE ADDRESS IS ALREADY THERE Each lesson keeps its own address, and the places you already teach at are one tap away when you book the next one. Open a lesson and get directions to it without typing the address again. THE MONTH ADDS UP Hours taught, what they came to, how many students you are actively seeing, and how it is all trending. WHO TO BOOK NEXT Lessonday sorts your students by who you have not taught in the longest, so the ones quietly going cold surface before you notice they are gone. ONE RATE, OR AS MANY AS YOU NEED Set what you charge once and every lesson picks it up. Charge differently for a subject or for a student, and the more specific rate wins. Student beats subject beats default. WHATEVER YOU TEACH Thirty-eight subjects across nine kinds of teaching: music, sport and fitness, academics, language, martial arts, dance, arts and crafts, tech and mind games. Anything missing, you add in a moment and it behaves exactly like the rest. ON IPAD AND APPLE WATCH On iPad, your lessons and the one you are looking at sit side by side. On Apple Watch, raise your wrist for today's lessons and what you planned to cover, and tap once for directions. Your next lesson can sit right on the watch face. NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGNAL NEEDED There are no ads in Lessonday and nothing to sign up for. Your lessons and students live on your iPhone, so it opens instantly and never waits on a connection. Everything is also kept in your own private iCloud database, tied to your Apple Account rather than to us: we run no server that holds your records, and no account here can read your students' names. Sign in on a new iPhone and years of teaching are already there. It is a notebook for your own teaching, not a platform your students log into. Open it, teach, close it. Your week is already written down.

LessonBalance helps independent tutors and coaches keep a clear record of each lesson. Track clients and groups, add prepaid lesson credits, and schedule one-off or finite weekly lessons. Mark each lesson delivered, no-show, excused, teacher-cancelled, or rescheduled. See exactly how a package balance changes, including makeup lessons and lessons to cover. Correct outcomes with a reasoned history instead of erasing the past. Build a private statement for one client, choose a date range, and export text, CSV, or PDF to share. The recipient does not need an account. Everything works locally on your iPhone and iPad. Optional package amounts are records you enter about payments handled elsewhere; LessonBalance does not collect payments, issue tax invoices, calculate attendance percentages, or provide cloud sync. Existing records remain readable, correctable, and exportable after access expires. Upgrade and Restore Purchases are available from Settings. Built for solo teachers, tutors, music teachers, dance teachers, language teachers, yoga instructors, and coaches who sell prepaid lesson packages.
