The Total column can now show a plain average of your grades - no grading scale needed

FeatureGrades

Choose the grading scale for a class's overall grade

The Total column can now show 1-6, 1-10, pass/fail, or your own custom scale instead of A-F letters. Set it from the gear menu on the Grades page - existing classes keep the familiar letter grades.

FeatureClasswork

Record grades for in-class tests with the new Quiz type - no student hand-in needed

Create a Quiz from the Classwork or Grades page and type scores straight into the grade grid. Nothing is assigned or sent to students - a quiz is simply a column in your gradebook for work done in person.

FeaturePlanner

Copy a customized day's schedule to any other day

Made a special schedule for an assembly or a shortened day? Open that day's menu and choose Copy Schedule to apply it to any other date — with a warning before replacing another customized day, and an undo if you change your mind.

Wed Jul 22

FeaturePlanner

Search any lesson and jump straight to its day on the planner

FeaturePlanner

Filter the planner to just the classes you want to see

FeaturePlanner

Your planner is now a full calendar with day, week, and month views

Scroll smoothly through months, switch between day, week, and multi-day views, and keep a mini calendar plus your upcoming lessons in the new side panel. Your timetable, lessons, and day menus all work exactly as before.

FeatureTasks

Edit one task in a repeating series - or that task and all that follow

Moving, retagging, or deleting any task in a repeating series now asks whether the change applies to just that task or to all that follow. Tasks you have moved individually keep their place when the rest of the series changes.

Tue Jul 21

FeatureTasks

Tasks can now repeat, and show on the calendar on every repeat date

Choose a preset like every weekday, or build a custom schedule with an end date or a set number of repeats. When you edit a repeating task, you choose whether the change applies to just that task or to the whole series.

FeatureTasks

See exactly the number of days you want, from 2 up to 31

Pick 2 to 9 days from the view menu or press the number key, or choose Other for spans up to 31 days.

FeatureTasks

Plan your day with new Week and Day calendar views

Drag on the time grid to block out a task with a start and end time, then move or resize it like any calendar event. Switch views with the selector next to Today.

FeaturePlanner

Classes added to a customized day can now hold lessons

When you edit a single day's schedule and add an extra class, that slot now works like any other: create a lesson in it, link an existing one, drag lessons in and out, and shifts flow through it. Re-editing or resetting the day keeps everything consistent.

FeatureTasks

Tasks can now span multiple days

Give a task a start and an end date and it stretches across the calendar as a single bar — perfect for grading windows, report deadlines, and week-long projects.

FeatureTasks

Plan your tasks on a full-page calendar

Scroll smoothly through the year, double-click any day to add a task, and drag tasks between days to reschedule. Click a task to edit it — including notes — right beside the calendar.

ImprovementSettings

Copying a semester now shares your units and lessons instead of duplicating them

The copy brings the same units and lessons into the new semester, so an edit in one place updates both. Each semester keeps its own schedule, and grades and history stay where they were.

FeatureLessons

Your units now live in one shared library - reuse any unit in any class or semester

Scroll past a class's units to browse everything you've ever built. Click a unit to preview its lessons, then add it with one click - the same unit can live in several classes and semesters at once, while scheduling stays separate per semester.

The home page, all six feature pages, contact, and about now follow the language you pick in the footer — from the headlines down to the little product previews. English stays exactly as it was.

FeatureStandards

Import your own standards from a file - spreadsheets, Word docs, PDFs, or pasted text

Upload a CSV, Excel, Word, or PDF file (or paste text) in My Standards and your standards become custom sets in seconds. Clean tables import instantly with smart column matching; messy documents and scans are read with AI Magic, and you review everything before it is saved.
