A home education learning journal, one line at a time
Learning at home rarely looks like school, so it's easy to lose. Write it down as it happens.
Over months you see the whole shape. The fast parts, the slow parts, and what came up.
Tagged with a key skill and a subject
Each moment is a line in plain words. Tag it with as many key skills and subjects as fit. Add a photo if there is one.

Add a photo
A drawing, a model, a page of handwriting. Add a photo and it stays with the moment, in the journal and in the report.
On upload, location data is stripped from the photo. Everything is encrypted and held securely.
Days late is fine
A moment takes seconds to write. Pick the day it happened, up to three days back, or any earlier date.
The child never logs
The child never logs and never sees the key skills. The journal is for the adults.
Help naming the learning
See educational value is an optional step that names the learning in a moment. It is off by default.
