Homeschool planner for families
In Pencil is a homeschool planner that expects Tuesday to fall apart. Plan the year for every child, then move and roll lessons as real life happens. Nothing’s written in pen.
No card to start. One price for the whole household.

How the week works
Everything you teach together sits on top. Each child’s own work sits under their name. Ballet, co-op and soccer are blocked out first, so lessons land in the hours you actually have — not the ones you wish you had.
A grid when you just need the list. Time blocks when the day is tight and you need to see where 3:15 piano lands.
Co-ops, lessons and practices claim their hours before school does. In Pencil tells you when a day is too full to fit.
Every lesson you check off becomes that day’s attendance. Print the week, or one subject’s lessons, when you want paper.
Sick days & rescheduling
Tap Sick day and pick how the week should absorb it. Either way, nothing gets lost and nothing gets crammed in silently.
Today’s lessons join Thursday’s. Good for one lost morning.
The whole plan shifts one school day. The year ends a day later; nobody does double math on Thursday.
Moving a single lesson? Choose just this once, every Tuesday or every school day — until a date you pick.

Multiple children
Each child gets a color, a profile and their own pace through each book. Teach history once and it counts for everyone who was there.
Ella, 2nd — two lessons behind in reading, and the planner says so.
Micah, 5th — works on his own after ten; his list is ready when he is.
Nora, pre-K — her own short list, at her own pace. Every child keeps a record.

The whole household on one plan, including a second adult who can see the week and tick things off.
Compare plans and what happens if you stop →Unfinished lessons roll forward, labelled with where they came from. If a book won’t finish by your last day, In Pencil says so.
No, on purpose. It keeps days of instruction and the lessons you check off — the attendance record — and leaves the legal reading to you.
Yes. A second adult can see the week and tick things off. Reshaping the year stays with the owner.
Planning stops. For 60 days you can still sign in to subscribe. After that the account closes. The planner isn’t open during those 60 days. The timeline.
