A Homeschool Record Keeping App That Makes Life Easier
Homeschooly helps you keep attendance, daily notes, and evidence in one place so you are not rebuilding the year from spreadsheets and loose photos every time you need a report or a clearer summary.
- Keep attendance, notes, and evidence together
- Replace scattered spreadsheets and camera-roll photos
- Turn daily records into reports when you need them

Homeschooly vs spreadsheets and notebooks
Record keeping gets hard when attendance, notes, and evidence all live in different places. The point is not one more list. It is keeping the whole learning record together.
| What you need | Spreadsheets and notebooks | Homeschooly |
|---|---|---|
| Daily logging | You try to remember what happened later and fill in a sheet from memory. | Capture activities while they are still fresh, with dates, notes, and subjects in one record. |
| Evidence | Photos live in separate folders with no useful context when reporting time arrives. | Attach photos and notes directly to the learning record so the evidence still makes sense later. |
| Attendance | Attendance gets tracked separately from the real learning story, if it gets tracked at all. | Attendance summaries come from the same dated learning records you already keep. |
| Reporting | You rebuild the year from notebooks, folders, and spreadsheets every time someone asks. | Reuse the records you already kept to create clearer reports and portfolio-style summaries. |
What this looks like in practice
The simplest approach is usually the best one: log it once, keep the evidence with it, and use the same record later when you need it.
Log learning as it happens
Keep activities, notes, and evidence together instead of spreading them across paper, spreadsheets, and your phone.
- Quick daily records
- Subject and learner context
- Evidence photos attached to the same entry
Review progress without extra admin
A clearer weekly view makes it easier to see what was covered, what still needs attention, and how consistent the record has been.
- Spot gaps faster
- Keep multiple learners organised
- Stop maintaining a separate attendance sheet
Build reports from the records you already have
When you need to share progress, prepare a portfolio, or write a year-end summary, start with what you already logged.
- Reuse daily entries
- Keep notes and evidence tied together
- Create clearer outputs than copied spreadsheet rows
Best for families who need a record system, not just one more tracker
If your biggest pain point is keeping a clear, usable record over time, this is the angle Homeschooly is strongest on.
- Families replacing spreadsheets and paper folders
- Parents who want attendance and evidence in one place
- Families building reports or portfolio-style summaries over time
