Homeschooly review
An inexpensive activity log and record keeper for homeschool families, with a free offline tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Homeschooly is a planning and record-keeping app for families who want to document learning activities without relying on a full curriculum planner. Parents can add notes, photos, and reflections, organize entries by subject or custom category, schedule activities, and review subject coverage. It is available on iOS and Android, with web dashboard access on Premium. Families seeking activity records, learner history, and shareable reports may find its focused approach a good fit; those who need more conventional lesson, grading, or compliance depth may prefer a broader planner.
The free plan costs nothing and supports activity logging, notes and photos, PDF reporting and exports, and offline use. It stores data locally and is limited to one device. Premium Monthly costs $2.99 per month, while Premium Yearly costs $29.99 per year; both add a habits view, insights, multiple learners, cloud sync, and a paid web dashboard. The published plans also list a seven-day free trial, separate from the unlimited free tier. According to the vendor's pricing page, final billed prices appear at App Store or Google Play checkout. Families can start with the free tier for a single-device record, then consider Premium if they need synced access, more than one learner, or the web dashboard.
Its standout value is turning everyday activity logs into records families can review and report. Calendar-style habits tracking and insights surface activity patterns, while PDF reports can include activities, photos, subject summaries, and attendance-style day counts. Offline use with local storage suits families who want to record learning without relying on a connection; cloud sync is optional on Premium. This is a practical fit for families prioritizing lightweight logging and documentation across devices. It is less compelling for households looking for a more comprehensive system for lesson planning, grading, or compliance workflows.
