Here we go, teach.

Less busywork. More teaching.

Free classroom tools that run on your own device. No account to make, no district sign-off to chase, and no server holding your students' data.

Two tools. Free to use, private by design, and built in a classroom.

Choose a tool

One keeps the work around your lessons moving. The other makes what students see worth looking at.

Planbook

The school day, held together.

Track grades and attendance, spot the students who need attention, and draft the message home without sending your roster to another service.

Open Planbook

BBStyler

Beautiful class content. Blackbaud-safe HTML.

Build polished bulletins, topics, and assignments from reusable content blocks, then copy HTML designed to survive Blackbaud's editor.

Planbook handles what piles up around the lesson

Grades, attendance, and the outreach that follows, kept close enough to act on.

Attendance in a few taps
Built for a rotation that changes on you — assemblies, delays, drills. Mark what met, drop what didn't, and see at a glance which is which.
Grades that stay honest
Late and missing are marked by you, never guessed from a due date. A grade never changes because the clock rolled over.
The students who need you
Falling grades, missing work, absences and behaviour, surfaced before the quarter closes instead of after.
And the ones worth praising
Improvement, turnarounds and strong streaks, ranked by change rather than by rank — so the message home is not always bad news.
The message home, already drafted
Opens in your own mail app, sends from your own address, and lands in your own sent folder. Nothing sends on your behalf.
It works with the wifi down
Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, offline, in a room where the network is the thing that fails.

Where your students' data goes

Nowhere. That is the architecture, not a setting you have to go and find.

There is no server to send it to
Everything stays in your browser's own storage, on your own device. There is no database behind this, because there is nothing behind this.
There is nothing to sign into
No account, no password, no roster upload, no email address collected. Open the page and start.
Moving your work is your choice
Planbook can connect to one file in Google Drive. BBStyler exports a backup you control. Neither requires an account with us.

BBStyler makes class pages easier to read

Compose once, preview the destination, and paste clean inline-styled HTML into Blackbaud.

Built for Blackbaud's editor
Choose bulletin, topic, or assignment and see what that surface keeps before you publish.
Structured, reusable content
Start from a template and arrange headings, notices, resources, tasks, quotes, and other classroom-ready blocks.
Checks before you copy
Catch contrast, heading-order, and destination-compatibility problems while the post is still easy to fix.
It is new, and you should know that before you start. Planbook runs its first real term this fall, and it is being built as that term goes. Expect rough edges. Keep the backup file it gives you — it takes 1 tap, and it is how you get a term of grades back if something goes wrong.

Both tools are free. Nothing to buy, no trial, no upgrade.

Who makes this

Built by a classroom teacher, for their own 5 classes. These tools exist because something in the school day was taking longer than the thing it was meant to support — and the fix had to survive a bad-wifi, three-minutes-before-the-bell Tuesday.
