Every other planner has to be rewritten. Margin rewrites itself.

You are not behind.
The plan changed.

Miss a week and most planners hand you an eraser and that sinking behind feeling. Margin gives you three ways to catch up instead. Pick the one that suits your family and the rest of the year is redone for you. It runs on plain old math, not AI. Your children's schedule is never sent to an AI, stored by one, or used to train one.

Everything your homeschool year needs. For every one of your kids.

Lessons, books, field trips, piano and chores. One planner holds all of it for the whole school year.

When the week goes wrong

Three ways to catch up. Each shows the minutes it adds.

Tell Margin what really happened this week. You'll see your options for the missed work and what each one does to your heaviest day. Nothing gets rebuilt until you pick one.

Nothing moves until you say so

Drag and drop

Plans change. Drag it to another day.

Math didn't happen today? Pick it up and drop it on Thursday. Each child's lessons keep their own color, so you can see whose day is full.

The record

The paperwork for your portfolio review is already done.

Print one child's year by itself for your association, or the whole family at once. Each child gets their days done next to what your state requires, with hours, books finished and field trips. Print it or hand over a PDF.

Everything that counts

Field trips, co-op and the summer reading program.

A day at the aquarium is a school day. So is nature camp in June. Mark it once and it counts toward your total without pulling bookwork onto it.

Per child, or the whole family

What a school day really looks like.

What it costs.

$8
a month for your whole family, however many children you have. Or $80 a year, which gives you two months free.
14-day free trial with everything included. And if you ever stop paying, you keep your records. You can still open, print and export every year you planned in Margin.

Your children's schedule is not a product. It is never sold, never shared, and never handed to an AI to learn from.

A promise, not a setting

All in one place.

An online homeschool planner that holds the whole year. No spreadsheet on the side. No second app for the library books or the chore chart.

Keep every book they readAdd each book to the reading list, or just scan the barcode. Library books go on your calendar on the day they're due, so the stack goes back before the late fee.
Drag math to ThursdayMath didn't happen today? Drag the lesson to Thursday. On your phone, press and hold it first.
Count piano and art timePractice and art projects count, weekends too. Log the minutes and watch each child's hours add up.
Share it with DadInvite a second parent with their own login. You choose whether he can only look or can check things off and move lessons too.
Take the sick daySet a few aside in August. Use one and it still counts as a school day, and nothing gets crammed into the rest of the week.
Put chores on the same pageEach child gets a chore chart to check off, with pictures for the ones who can't read yet. Turn it on and chores sit on the calendar right beside school.
And it keeps your records. Start your free trial

Most planners make you keep up with them. This one keeps up with you.

It's easy to be Type A in August.

Lay out the whole year before the first Monday, down to every lesson.

Setting up a year in Margin
By February you’re Type B.

Take it a week at a time and let Margin fill in the year as you go.

A month of school in Margin
It’s usually somewhere in between.

Start with a plan and loosen up by November. Or the other way around. Your records stay right either way.

Free, and yours to keep

Fifty-eight books worth reading out loud.

Grouped by age, with a note on each one so you know what you’re getting before you order it.

Every book on the list has kept a room full of kids quiet. A few of them will get the grown-ups too.

It's yours.

We'll email you now and then when something useful is ready. Leave any time, from the bottom of any email.
