On your phone

A homeschool planning app
for your pocket.

Working on your phone right nowOpen marginplanner.com in your phone’s browser and sign in. Today’s lessons are there, and so is everything below. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app.

The iPhone app is comingIt is built and on its way to the App Store. Apple decides when it appears there, so we are not going to promise you a date. Everything you plan today will be waiting in it. Leave your email and we will write on the day it lands.

Today

The homeschool planning app opens on today.

Not a month grid you have to hunt through. The day you are standing in, with each child’s lessons in the order you’ll actually do them.

Every child’s work on one screen, or one child at a time
Tap a lesson to check it off. That is the whole thing
Press and hold a lesson to move it to another day
Read-alouds, chores and practice minutes sit there too, if you turned them on

Built for a hand, not a mouse.

Most of homeschooling happens standing up. These are the parts that assume that.

Scan the library stackPoint the camera at the barcode on the back of a book and the title and author fill themselves in. Came home with a pile? Scan the whole pile.

Due dates on the calendarA library book goes on your calendar on the day it is due back, so the stack leaves the house before the late fee.

It buzzes when you check offA small buzz on the phone as each lesson goes. Turn it off in settings if you would rather it stayed quiet.

Drag math to ThursdayMath did not happen? Press and hold, drag it to Thursday, and the rest of the year settles around it.

A morning note, if you want oneIn the app, one note at a time you pick, on the days you teach. Off unless you turn it on.

Today’s count on the lock screenOn an iPhone, the app can show how today is going without you unlocking anything. Swipe it away and it stays away till tomorrow.

The same year

Plan on the laptop. Teach from your phone.

The phone is not a cut-down copy. It is the same year you laid out in August, held the way you hold a phone.

Check math off on the phone and it is checked off on the laptop
Works offline once it has loaded, so a bad signal at the park is fine
A second parent can have their own login and check work off too

The browser side is written up on the online homeschool planner page. If you are still deciding between this and a paper planner, I laid that out on the digital homeschool planner page.

Your children’s schedule is not a product. A promise, not a setting.

It is never sold, never shared, and never handed to an AI to learn from. Not from the phone and not from anywhere else.

What it costs.

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.
