HomeRoom started with a simple frustration: running a classroom meant juggling a dozen browser tabs, sticky notes, and half-finished tools that were never made for the people actually standing in front of students. So a teacher built the one he wished he had.
Every tool in HomeRoom exists because a real classroom needed it, not because it looked good on a feature list.
Hi, I'm Jeff. Two decades into teaching elementary school, my goal was simple: create one central space for all the tools I need throughout the school day. I wanted predictable tools that work the way a teacher expects, with zero ads or promotions on screen while I'm teaching. When technology gets out of the way, teachers can focus on what actually matters: building relationships and supporting student learning.
HomeRoom is designed, built, and run by a teacher in Nova Scotia, Canada. Decisions are made the way they would be in a staff room, not a boardroom: keep it calm, keep it accessible, and never get between an educator and their class. No investors to answer to, and no engagement metrics to chase. Just one teacher building a thoughtful, reliable workspace for the everyday classroom.
The ideas that shape every decision, and that you can verify in our privacy promise, not just our marketing.
On Free, your new workspace edits save in this browser. Live student activities like the Discussion Board use an online service. No ads. No data mining. We never sell your email, your rosters, or your habits to anyone.
HomeRoom is a tool for the teacher. Students don't create accounts, so we don't knowingly collect information from children. You decide what goes on the screen: first names, initials, or pseudonyms.
The optional schedule scanner sends selected timetable images to Google Gemini to read them. You can enter your timetable manually instead. See the Privacy Promise for details.
New teacher accounts start with a 60-day Pro trial, with no credit card or automatic charge. After the trial, the $0 CAD Free plan still includes saved scenes, classroom tools and day and unit planning. Pro adds live sync, Remote Control and Guest Teacher Mode.
The first group of Pro buyers locks in $20 CAD per year. New subscriptions will cost $30 CAD per year after the founder offer ends.
HomeRoom is based in Nova Scotia, and Pro cloud data is encrypted at rest on secure servers located in Canada. If anything ever compromised your account, we would notify you within 72 hours, in line with Canadian privacy regulations.
