What teachers are saying
Real teachers using EMStudio's online teacher planner today to plan lessons, manage classes, track grades, take attendance, and map their curriculum, telling us what's working and what isn't.
“I've messed around with Notion, Anytype, Capacities, AFFiNE, AppFlowy, Numbers, Notes, and all sorts of other data management tools looking for anything to help me... Out of all of that, EMStudio is showing a lot of promise for being exactly what I'm looking for... it's just so good that I can see myself potentially sticking with this for a long time.”

FAQ
What is an online teacher planner?
An online teacher planner is a digital tool that replaces paper planners and spreadsheets. EMStudio's online teacher planner combines lesson planning, gradebook, attendance tracking, and curriculum planning in one connected workflow, so the data you enter once flows everywhere it's needed.
Is EMStudio free?
Yes. EMStudio's Free plan includes view-only access to your data after the trial ends. The Pro plan is $9/month billed annually and includes unlimited classes, lessons, grades, AI credits, and 100 GB of storage. Every account starts with a 30-day free trial of Pro. No credit card required.
Will EMStudio work for my school's schedule?
Yes, including the schedules other tools choke on. A/B days, 4-day, 6-day, 8-day rotations, multi-week cycles up to eight weeks, block schedules, and one-off changes for assemblies, field trips, and snow days. Built-in holiday calendars cover 31 countries, with room for custom days when your school's calendar doesn't match.
How does EMStudio compare to Planbook?
Planbook is a lesson planner. EMStudio connects lesson planning with gradebook, attendance, and curriculum planning, so a lesson tagged to a standard updates your curriculum coverage automatically, and excused attendance is excused everywhere it counts. Teachers switching from Planbook usually keep the same planning workflow but stop maintaining four separate tools to do it.
How long does setup take?
Most teachers are up and running in under 30 minutes. Add your classes, import student rosters from CSV, and set your weekly schedule. That's enough to start planning lessons and taking attendance. Layer in custom grading scales, rotation patterns, or standards alignment whenever you need them.
Does EMStudio write lesson plans for me?
Not autonomously. The AI is a chat partner inside the lesson editor: it can draft a section, rewrite in your voice, suggest differentiation, or brainstorm activities and discussion questions. You're still the author, just with a faster way to draft.
Can I import my existing data?
Yes, class rosters and student lists from CSV. Lesson plans aren't imported via CSV; the AI assistant inside the lesson editor can rebuild them quickly from notes, and any lesson can be saved as a template for reuse.
