Your entire classroom in your pocket
What you get
TeachDesk was built for exactly this.
The core features that make TeachDesk different from the generic alternatives.
Two-tap logging
Tap a student, tap an action — absent, late, a note, a bit of praise — in under three seconds, fast enough to do while you're still teaching.
Today widget
Take attendance or log a behavior straight from the lock screen, so the app keeps up with you in the gym, the hallway, or a fire drill.
Works offline
Everything runs on the iPad already on your desk — no signal, no login, no waiting for a district system to load.
Weekly insights
A quiet end-of-week summary of behavior trends and attendance patterns per student, ready for a conference or an IEP meeting.
Seating chart
Drag students into place and keep the arrangement that actually works for your room.
Private by design
Your data stays on your device and your own iCloud — no servers we run, no parent-facing surveillance feed.
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Download once
Install TeachDesk from the App Store when the waitlist opens. No account setup — it works the moment you open it.
02
Use for ninety seconds a day
The product is designed so the useful thing takes less than two minutes. Anything longer and you stop. We know.
03
Notice what changes
Patterns surface after two to three weeks. The data is yours alone — no cloud, no report to anyone.
