The ones worth asking first.

Yes, if you have an Android phone — though it isn’t finished, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Our own family uses it every day: the daily plan, lessons written for each child, routines, trips, kid mode and the record, built on 2703 hand-written skills and milestones across reading, spelling, grammar, math, good citizenship, science, nature study, geography, history, life skills, physical development, the arts and Spanish.

Beta families install it from a link we send when their spot opens; it isn’t on the Play Store yet. The beta page lists what works today, what’s being built and what hasn’t been started.

A spot in the private beta, and a chance to help build the library of places from the very start. Spots in the first release are limited, and once they are taken new signups join a waiting list, let in in the order they joined. When your spot opens, we write with a link to install the app. Until then, it may be quiet — that just means we’re building.

You won’t get an automatic confirmation email, because there’s no mailing list behind this yet. Replies come from a real person — which works while the beta is small, and is a big part of why spots are limited. If you ask a question on the form, you’ll get a real answer.

A family of seven — two parents and five children — living and homeschooling full-time in an RV. We started because nothing out there fit our family, and we use what we build every day. If something doesn’t work, we’re the first to find out.

Because they are. We’d rather tell you a video is still being made than show you staged footage of an app that isn’t finished. As real videos are ready, they replace the placeholders. Where something on this site isn’t built yet, the page says so.

Not yet. The beta is Android only, installed from a link rather than the Play Store. An iPhone version and store listings come later; if you’re on an iPhone, join the list anyway and say so on the form.

The daily loop does. The app writes the week’s lessons ahead and keeps them on the phone, and a trip can be saved for no signal day by day before you leave. Today’s plan, the lessons, routines, kid mode, the state line, tonight’s sky and saved read-alouds all work with zero bars, and anything you log waits on the phone until you’re back in range.

Some things still need signal: writing a new lesson, the Field Lens, adding a place, and directions (which open in your own maps app). Records, progress reports and the curriculum library need a connection too for now. That’s on the list to fix, because if something in your daily routine needs the internet, we treat it as a bug.

Yours too. Switch on the calendar that’s already on your phone — Google, Outlook, Apple or Samsung — and your busy times show up right next to the children’s day, for both parents. It only reads your calendar; it never adds or changes anything, and you choose whether it shows what each event is or just “busy”. Add the morning and bedtime routines, and the whole family’s day lives in one place.

Yes — take a look at Adventure Mode. It’s the same app without the school parts, made for a family trip rather than a school year. Everything your kids do is kept as extracurricular activity you can export for their school. If you start homeschooling later, you can move up to the full version and bring all of it with you, but you can’t move back.

No. Plans move one way: from Adventure Mode up to the full homeschool version, never back down. You choose on the first setup screen, and you can change your mind there until you add your children. After that, moving up is in Account settings.

The reason is how the two keep records. The full version builds a homeschool record: what each child has mastered, courses, hours and transcripts. Adventure Mode keeps the same activities as extracurricular, outside any curriculum. A homeschool record can’t be folded back into that shape without losing what makes it a homeschool record, so we don’t offer the move rather than offer one that loses something.

Yes, two ways. You can invite a grandparent, a tutor or a sitter into the app with access to just the children you choose, for as long as you choose; when it runs out, it stops. Or send a weekly postcard: a private link to a page of the week’s highlights that you share yourself, which works for thirty days and that you can take back. There’s also a family yearbook to print or save as a PDF.

As many as you have. Pricing is per family, never per child, because charging per child punishes exactly the families we built this for. Babies and toddlers get their own profiles and join in on everything, without lessons scheduled for them. When one is ready for real lessons, that’s just a setting.

They’re fully part of it. Every child gets their own profile, joins every outing, and builds their own record — the baby included.

The difference is whose phone it happens on. A toddler or a baby shouldn’t be handed a screen, so their part lives on yours. The app shows you what to watch for at their age — stacking blocks, naming colors, pushing up during tummy time, rolling over — and you tap “seen it” or “not yet”. Never a grade, never “failed”. Over the months it becomes a record of how they grew, with dates, that you’ll be glad to have. When a little one is ready for lessons of their own, switching them over is one setting.

No. RV LIFE Trip Wizard, Roadtrippers, Furkot and Garmin don’t connect directly to other apps, so we use the files they already let you save: export a GPX, KML or CSV file and choose it in the app, or paste a Google Maps directions link. If you change the trip and bring it in again, we show you just what changed instead of doubling everything up, because you’ll probably do that five times. We want to work alongside your planner, not replace it.

Nothing for the families in the first beta release, and we never ask for a card. After that, honestly, the prices are still our best guess: a family plan somewhere around twenty to thirty dollars a month for the full homeschool version, with Adventure Mode costing a lot less, monthly or yearly. Because of that difference, you can move from Adventure Mode up to the full version at any time, but not back down, and moving up partway through a month costs only the difference for that month. A discount if you pay yearly. And a full month free to try it, because nobody can decide on a curriculum in seven days.

Beta families who share places and lessons are the people who make the library worth having, and there will be founder pricing for them. We’re still working out what that looks like, and we’ll publish it before anyone pays a cent.

No. There’s no social side for children at all — nothing about a child can be seen outside your family unless a parent chooses to share that one thing, and you can take it back any time. That protection is built into the way the app stores information, and it’s tested automatically every time we make a change. There is no directory, no profiles to find, and no feed.

Not now. If we ever add a way to share, it will start with written lesson plans only — no photos, no messaging, no profiles beyond a display name — and every step after that will be taken slowly and carefully. We’d rather go slow here than have to apologize later.

No. To write a lesson, the AI that writes the words (Anthropic’s Claude) is told each child’s first name, age and what they’re working on — never a last name, a birthday or a photo of them — and nothing about your children is used to train AI. The law protecting children’s privacy online (COPPA) requires a parent’s separate permission before a child’s information can be used to train AI — we skip the question entirely by never doing it.

Yes, today. Account settings has a download of everything your family has recorded, as one file, whenever you want it. Printable PDFs and your photos will join it. Your children’s school years may well outlast any app, including ours, so we planned for that from day one.

It will keep you well documented, which is more than most states ask for. The rules vary a lot — some states only ask that you teach a handful of subjects; others want attendance records, a notice to the school district, testing or a portfolio review. We carry information for all fifty states, each with where the rule comes from and when we last checked it. So far only Texas has been checked against the actual law; every other state is clearly marked as not yet verified, because a summary you trust and stop double-checking is worse than no summary at all. Our records are built to satisfy a college admissions office years from now, which is a higher bar than most states set. But nothing on this site is legal advice, so do check your own state’s rules.
