Why Homeschool Assistant
The Learning Is Personal.
So Are the Records.
Running a homeschool means keeping track of more than the school day. Requirements, attendance, testing, and documents all have a place—and each child has a different story.
Homeschool Assistant brings those practical details together. Start with your state and school year, organize each student's information, and keep records close at hand.
You choose what to store, what to keep outside the app, and what to print or share.
How It Works
A Place for the Details.
A Rhythm That Fits Your Family.
What Public and Private Sources Say

Organize attendance, testing, and documents for each child. Keep a local copy or record that you retain it elsewhere.

Inside the App
Clear Steps.
Useful Everyday Tools.
Development screenshots use fictional test data and Dark appearance. Screens may change before release.
Attendance Without Daily Reentry
Set the School Year.
Record the Exceptions.
Your configured school-year weekdays start as assumed instruction days. Enter days off and corrections when needed, separately for each student.
Actual AttendanceThrough the As-of Date
Review the assumed instruction days that have occurred within the school year, adjusted by the exceptions and corrections you entered.
- Limited to the report's stated as-of date
- Individual student totals and records
- Review before printing or sharing
Projected AttendanceThe Full School Year
Look ahead across your configured school-year dates, including future assumed instruction days and the days off you have already entered.
- Includes future planned instruction days
- Uses your school-year range and exceptions
- Clearly distinguished from Actual attendance
Attendance reports are organizational records based on your setup and entries. They do not certify attendance or legal compliance.
Records and Testing
The Documents You Need.
Where You Want Them.
Keep testing results, establishment records, and other supporting documents organized. Upload a file, choose a photo, or scan a paper record into the app's local storage.
- Records organized by topic and student
- “Kept Outside This App” when you retain the record yourself
- “N/A” where that choice is available and appropriate
- You choose what to print, export, or share

Common Questions
A Few Things
to Know.
Practical answers about the app and your records.
Is the App Available to Download?
iPhone, iPad and Mac testing is underway. Homeschool Assistant is not yet publicly available. This site will be updated when release information is ready.
Do I Need to Enter Attendance Every Day?
No. Your configured school-year weekdays begin as assumed instruction days. Record days off and corrections when needed. Review the Actual or Projected report before relying on or sharing it.
Can I Use It for More Than One Child?
Yes. Add multiple students within your homeschool setup and maintain individual attendance, testing, and supporting records.
Does the Information Change With My State?
Yes. State and pathway choices affect the guidance, requirement records, and source links shown. Confirm current state and local requirements with the appropriate Public Source.
Do I Have to Upload My Documents?
No. You can mark a record as “Kept Outside This App” when you retain it yourself. Where available, an N/A option records that a requirement does not apply to your circumstances. These choices do not remove your responsibility to keep any required records.
Is This a Curriculum or Lesson Planner?
No. Homeschool Assistant focuses on educational requirement information and local recordkeeping. It does not provide curriculum, lesson planning, grading, transcripts, testing recommendations, or score evaluation.
Are My Records Stored in a Cloud Account?
The app has no account system or Provider-operated cloud service for family records. Records are stored on your device. Apple device backups and destinations you choose for exports are separate services under your control.
What Do the Labels in the State Guide Mean?
Each item shows one of six labels. “Checked against official text” means it was compared with an exact quote from the official page, which you can read in the app. “From a Public Source” means it’s summarized from a linked official page. “From a Private Source only” means only a trusted expert organization says it and the official pages we read don’t confirm it. “Only if it applies to you” means it’s required only in a certain situation, which the item explains. “Check your state’s official page” means Public Sources didn’t settle it. “Not listed by Public Sources” means the Public Sources reviewed don’t list it. The guide is educational, not legal advice.
How Does the Subscription Work?
Setup is free. The full State Guide, reminders, and adding new records need an annual subscription through Apple: 2 weeks free for new subscribers, then $14.99 a year. It renews each year until you cancel in your Apple Account settings. One subscription covers your Apple Family Sharing group. If a subscription ends, records you already saved stay viewable, printable, and exportable.
Can Two Parents Use the App on Different Devices?
Yes. Privacy Sync is the Synodos Path standard that keeps your family’s records encrypted when they sync between your devices, and under your control when an AI app you choose uses them. Turn it on to keep your records the same on every device in your family. See Using Homeschool Assistant on more than one device.
Can I Print or Save Attendance Reports?
Yes. Review an individual student’s Actual or Projected attendance report, then use the available print, save, or share options. Check the report type, dates, and entries before using it.
Will Reminders Always Arrive?
Reminders are scheduled locally and depend on notification permission, device conditions, and iOS settings. Keep your own plan for important deadlines; reminders do not guarantee delivery.
