Your gradebook, open to the marks you still owe.
A gradebook built for one teacher and their own classes. Everything you enter stays on your phone. Weighted categories, percent, letter and GPA scales, elementary through college — and no screen between you and the thing you opened the app to do.
THE TOUR
Three screens carry the term
Marking is a list of names and a single score sheet. A student page shows the weighted breakdown inline — the number and the reason for it, before a parent meeting. Events keep the month’s exams, trips and meetings in the same place as the marking.
One student, one score, one sheet — tap a row and the pad opens on that name, so nothing below shifts under your next tap. The footer counts what's left.
The grade and the arithmetic behind it, on one screen: category, weight, score, and the weighted total a parent will ask about.
A month at a glance, dotted in each class's colour. Pick a day for its agenda; everything else in the month stays listed underneath, so nothing hides behind a tap.
WHAT'S IN IT
Built around how a term actually runs
One screen: every ungraded assessment with its completion count, then your classes on a time gutter with a NOW line. Each row opens straight into marking.
Set category weights once per class. Every grade carries its own breakdown — category, weight, score, weighted total — so you can answer "why that number".
Grade scales per level: percentage bands, letter grades, proficiency bands for elementary, and a 4.0 GPA with credit units for college courses.
Trimesters, quarters and semesters coexist. A mixed-level teaching load reads down one column of cards.
The gradebook is a local database on your device. Marking works on a bus, in a basement lab, and during an outage — saves are immediate, not queued.
Class, section and per-student reports render as printable documents you can hand to a head of department or save as a PDF.
Back up the whole gradebook to an encrypted file from Settings, keep it wherever you keep important files, and restore it when you need to. Nothing syncs behind your back.
SETTING UP
Three answers and you're marking
Elementary sets up trimesters and proficiency bands, high school quarters and percentages, college semesters with a 4.0 GPA and credit units. It decides the defaults, not the ceiling.
Start and end dates, then the terms and grading periods inside them. Gradely builds the term set; you adjust the dates it guessed.
Subject, section, meeting days, room. Add students, set your weighted categories once, and the Today screen starts telling you what's outstanding.
PRICING
Free to start, Plus when a class outgrows it
The free plan is a real gradebook at a small size. Gradely Plus lifts every limit and adds encrypted backups; it’s billed monthly at the price for the level you teach, because a college course carries more students and more grading complexity than an elementary homeroom.
Limited data, no time limit — enough to run one class properly before you decide.
- 11 class
- 55 students
- 11 assessment
- 11 event
Every cap removed, and your backups encrypted.
- Unlimited classes
- Unlimited students
- Unlimited assessments
- Unlimited events
- Encrypted backups
Cancelling stops auto-renew only — Plus continues to the expiry date shown in Settings.
PRIVACY
Student data does not leave the phone
Gradely holds names, scores and rosters — which is exactly why it holds them locally. There is no Gradely server for your gradebook, no analytics SDK, and nothing to opt out of.
Student names, guardian contacts, sections, classes, assessments and scores stay in the app’s own storage on your phone. There is no server copy of your gradebook.
Only what you type yourself. No analytics, no tracking and no advertising is built into the app — so there is nothing to opt out of.
Printing a report card, exporting grades or making a backup are the only ways anything goes anywhere, and each is something you start.
Reset, lose or wipe the phone without a backup and the records cannot be recovered. Backups are encrypted — make them regularly and keep a copy somewhere safe.
Whatever you enter yourself — student names, guardian contacts, sections, classes, assessments, and scores. Nothing is collected automatically, and there is no analytics or tracking built into the app. Separately, your teacher account holds the email address you sign in with, so that you can sign back in and keep your plan; your gradebook never passes through it.
On your device only. The gradebook is a local database in the app’s private storage, and backups you create are written as files on that same device. There is no server copy of your data and no cloud sync.
Only when you make it happen — printing a report card, exporting grades, or creating a backup. The app never sends anything anywhere on its own.
Because everything lives on this device, formatting your phone, resetting it, or losing it without a backup means this data cannot be recovered. There is no cloud copy to restore from. Back up regularly from Settings if that matters to you. Backups are encrypted before they leave the device; the data on the device itself relies on your device’s own lock and encryption.
You control deletion directly — removing a student, class, term, or clearing all app data all happen on this device, immediately, and cannot be undone once confirmed. Deleting the app removes the database and its backups with it.
If you set a profile photo for yourself or a student, the app asks for photo library or camera access at that moment. The image is stored with the record on your device and is used for nothing else. Decline the permission and every other part of the app still works.
Gradely is for teachers, not for students. Children do not have accounts and cannot sign in. Records a teacher keeps about a minor stay on the teacher’s own device under the teacher’s and their school’s record-keeping obligations; we never receive them.
This policy may change as the app changes. If a future version adds optional cloud sync or backup, it will be opt-in, it will say so before it is switched on, and this page will carry a new date before that release ships.
FAQ
Questions teachers ask first
Where is my data stored?
Entirely on this device. There is no cloud account and no server copy — nothing leaves your phone unless you export or back it up yourself.
What happens if I reset or lose my phone?
Without a backup, everything is gone for good. Once a device is wiped or replaced, there’s no way to recover what was on it.
How do I protect against losing my data?
Use Backup and Restore in Settings regularly, then download the backup file and keep a copy somewhere safe, like Google Drive or your computer.
Can I use the app on more than one device?
Not yet. Each device keeps its own separate copy and they don’t sync with each other.
Is my data encrypted?
Backups are encrypted before they leave the device. Data stored on the device itself relies on your device’s own lock and encryption.
Does anyone else see my students’ information?
No. Nothing is sent anywhere by the app. It only leaves the device when you choose to print, export, or share it yourself.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. The gradebook is local, so marking, adding classes, viewing grades and printing reports all work offline. Only signing in to your account needs a connection.
Can I teach elementary, high school and college in one app?
Yes. Each class carries its own level, and the level decides its term structure and grading — trimesters and proficiency bands, quarters and percentages, or semesters with credit units and a 4.0 GPA. They sit together in one Classes list.
How are grades calculated?
By weighted categories inside a grading period. You set the categories and their weights per class; each score contributes to its category average, and the categories combine by weight into the class grade. A student’s page opens to show that arithmetic line by line.
Can students or parents log in and see grades?
No. Gradely is a teacher-only app with no student or parent accounts. Message guardian opens your own messaging app with the contact you saved — you choose what to send.
What does the free plan include, and what does Plus cost?
Free covers 1 class, 5 students, 1 assessment and 1 event — enough to try it properly. Gradely Plus lifts every limit and adds encrypted backups, priced by the level you teach: $1.99 a month for elementary, $2.99 for high school, $3.99 for college. Cancelling stops auto-renew only; access continues to the expiry date.
