HomeschoolBook: Hours & PDF

Homeschooling and want a clean way to keep your own records? HomeschoolBook tracks hours, attendance, curriculum, and work samples per child, and rolls it all into a parent-formatted annual PDF you can print, file, or share.

This is a personal record-keeper. It does not interpret state homeschool laws, does not store state hour minimums, and does not generate state-compliant submissions. You are responsible for understanding and meeting your state's requirements.

TRACK
• Quick-add chips for 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes per subject
• One-handed daily logging: tap a subject card, tap a chip, save in under 10 seconds
• Defaults to your last-used child and subject for fast repeat entries
• Custom minutes when you need them, plus optional notes per entry
• Calendar attendance view per child with running day and hour totals

ORGANIZE
• Multi-child profiles with grade level, school-year dates, and color
• Subjects per child with a curriculum field (Saxon Math 5/4, Sonlight, library books, whatever you actually use)
• Work sample photo portfolio per subject
• Field trip log with date, location, hours, photo, and the subjects it covered
• Weekly and monthly hour charts per subject

ARCHIVE
• Generate an annual records PDF that pulls a school year of data into one parent-formatted document: cover, attendance summary, hours per subject, curriculum list, field trips, work sample thumbnails, and a parent signature line
• Every page carries a disclaimer: this is your personal record, not a state submission
• Export per-child CSV for spreadsheets, accountants, or migration

DESIGN
• Calm, classroom-warm look: teal, cream, and amber
• Phone-first, with full tablet layouts for 7" and 10" screens
• Works offline; your data stays on your device on the standard tier
• English and Spanish at launch

PRIVACY
• Children's data stays on-device on the standard tier
• No personal info sent to ad networks beyond standard Firebase analytics
• Photos you add stay inside the app, and it never asks for permission to write to your photo gallery
