Plan, log, and prove the year
Throughline is the homeschool planner built for real weeks — fast enough for Daily, flexible enough for every child, and ready when you need records. Free to download; Premium unlocks Catch Up, deeper reports, reminders, and more.
Highlights
What families use every week
Premium features are called out on purpose — they're some of the strongest reasons families upgrade after they've formed the habit.
Core
Log the day that actually happened
Quick Log captures co-op, read-alouds, walks, and short lessons without rebuilding a perfect plan first. A real day still becomes a record.
Core
Different tracking for each child
Simple, Balanced, or Detailed — a kindergartner and a high schooler don’t share the same admin load. Switch students with ease.
Core
Plan the week your way
Templates, bulk assign, List / Week / Month views, and a Planning Hub built for real family schedules.
Premium
Catch Up when life intervenes
Move unfinished planned work forward in bulk instead of rebuilding the week by hand. Built for the weeks that don’t go as planned.
Core + Premium
Reports you’re proud to share
Weekly and term reports on Free. Full-year views, trends, and portfolio exports on Premium — records that look like something you’d turn in.
Premium
Reminders that fit your rhythm
Optional daily and weekly summaries help you stay on track and see progress. You choose what is included and when it sends.
Premium
Goals that match how you measure
Days, hours, and subject goals with charts when you need depth. This way, you don’t have to wonder if you’re doing enough at anytime.
Premium
Additional Planner Views
See the week by subject or by status, drag work forward, and keep co-op / Learning Day blocks in the same system as home days.
Free vs Premium (honest)
Free covers core planning and logging for up to two students. Premium is for quicker planning, full-year depth, more kids, reminders, and more — with a 14-day trial on the stores.

Setup order that actually works
Students and school year first, then subjects (and curricula if you use them), then plan and log. That order keeps menus from looking empty in the first week.
- Add students and attach a school year
- Add subjects (and curricula when you need them)
- Plan the week — then Quick Log what actually happened
Tracking
One app. Three ways to track.
Pick the mode that fits each student. You stay in control; trusted learners can update their own progress when you give them access.
Simple
Learning days, attendance, and notes — minimal setup for younger kids or lighter years.
Balanced
Session-based plans, completed work, and weekly goals when you want structure without a full gradebook.
Detailed
Assignments, due dates, grades, and deeper records for students who need a paper trail.
Fast enough for a busy morning
Setup takes minutes. Daily, Plan, and Reports open quickly — so logging doesn't become another chore on top of teaching.
State checklists without a separate binder
Pick your state during setup and Throughline imports common filing reminders — letters of intent, assessments, and notifications.
Planning software, not legal advice. Confirm deadlines with your local authorities or qualified counsel.
