Logging and tracking
Record the day and let the hours add up on their own.
- Activity logging
- Log what you did with notes, start and end times, and a duration that fills itself in.
- Calendar view
- See the week at a glance. Drag an activity to move it, stretch it to change the length, or click a blank slot to add one.
- Hours and attendance
- Total, core, and non-core hours are tallied for you, and every logged day counts toward attendance.
- Recurring activities
- Set a lesson to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly and it lands on the calendar without retyping.
- Activity drafts
- Save a half-finished entry as a draft and come back to it later.
- Search and filter
- Find any activity by student, subject, date range, or keyword.
