Marelle is the logbook for families who homeschool their children.
You record what has been learned (three words, a photo of the notebook), and the app takes care of the rest: it categorizes each activity into the five areas of the Common Core curriculum and compiles, day by day, the portfolio required for the annual educational assessment.
THIRTY SECONDS A DAY
Capturing information is a simple action, not a chore: a button, a title, the subject matter—it's noted. We often forget in the moment, so you can date an activity from yesterday or the day before. And a single moment can encompass several things at once: fractions in the kitchen are both math and practical life skills.
THE INSPECTION FILE, ALREADY WRITTEN
On the day of the assessment, everything is ready: a presentation of your teaching methods, progression by area of the Common Core curriculum, dated and photographed samples of work, a suggested timetable, and a list of books and textbooks. It can be printed or exported as a PDF, in a format that an inspector can easily read.
WHAT YOU CAN ALSO TRACK
• The searchable journal, grouped by day and week
• The library: books read, currently being read, and textbooks used
• The weekly schedule, covering all seven days, because not all families work Monday to Friday
• Progress by subject area, with the end-of-cycle learning objectives published by the Ministry of Education
TWO PEOPLE ON THE SAME NOTEBOOK
The notebook belongs to the family, not to one person: the other parent logs in with the same username from their own phone. No invitations, no setup required.
YOUR DATA REMAINS YOURS
There are photos of your children in here, and we take that seriously. Everything is hosted on our own server, in the European Union, never with a cloud giant. No advertising, no tracking, no resale. You can lock the notebook (using your fingerprint or facial recognition), save all your data in a single file, and permanently delete everything whenever you want.
Marelle does not provide instruction and is not a substitute for official texts or the assessment of school inspectors. It is an organizational tool, created by a homeschooling family.
