A first look. Along the Way is in TestFlight. These features describe the app in development; the latest test build may not contain every feature shown. Coming soon to the App Store.
Learning time
Record the subject, length, day, and children taking part in a learning activity. Mark whether it happened at home, add a lesson description or notes, and attach photos of the work. An activity can count for more than one child.
See time by subject and progress for each child’s school year. Open a logged entry to make a correction, or set your own targets.
Core and Non-Core subjects
Keep subjects grouped as Core and Non-Core. Add your own subjects, rename them, change their classification, or hide ones you aren’t using. Hiding a subject keeps its recorded learning time.
A starting point for state planning
Built-in guidance currently covers Missouri and Iowa, with options for different instruction arrangements. It suggests the applicable hours, days, or subject targets; parents can change or clear their child’s targets. Families in other states can still record learning time and set their own goals.
State information is a planning aid, not legal advice. Requirements depend on your circumstances and can change. Check current official sources and obtain qualified advice when needed. The app does not certify compliance.
Day planner
Lay out a day for the whole family or a particular child. Add a subject, lesson, date, and optional length. You can copy an item to additional days in the week.
Mark an item Done to record it as learning time. If you haven’t entered a length, the app asks for it then. You don’t have to enter the same lesson twice.
Daily log
Below the day’s plan, see “What was done this day”: logged activities grouped by child, with each child’s total time. The log includes activities you planned and learning you recorded as the day unfolded.
Keepsakes
Save photographs of your child’s artwork and projects in a private family archive. Choose images from your photo library, then add or edit a title, date, and note.
Keepsakes stay with your family. They are separate from village photos and cannot be shared to the village from inside the app. Location and EXIF metadata are removed when images are processed for storage.
Bible reading
The optional built-in reader includes the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) and King James Version (KJV). The Bible text is bundled in the app, so the text itself does not need to be downloaded while you read.
Choose the family or a child as the reader, open a book and chapter, and mark chapters as read. See chapter progress and continue from where you left off. Saving or changing reading progress requires a connection to the app’s server.
Switch Bible reading on in Settings when it fits your family. It starts switched off. Reading progress is private to your family, and reading a chapter does not automatically log learning hours.
Your village
Connect with another homeschool family using a village code. Your village shows connected families and their parents’ display names. Either family can remove a connection.
Parents can choose photos to share with their connected families. These photos are separate from academic records: they have no captions, child-name fields, tags, or links to a child’s record. Connected families may save a copy before a photo expires. See the draft privacy policy for visibility and retention details.
Your children’s learning records, keepsakes, and Bible reading progress stay inside your family.
Family join
A family join code brings a second parent into the same family, with access to that family’s records. This is different from a village code, which connects two separate families.
If you already have an account, use Family join in Settings. Joining another family moves your account; it does not combine records from two families. The app asks for confirmation if you are the last parent leaving a family whose children and records would be deleted.
Optional detail
For families who want it, courses, assignments, grades, grade history, and attendance records are built into the app. Grade tracking starts switched off and can be enabled in Settings. Switching it off hides the grade section without deleting its records.
