Homeroom support
Last updated 15 September 2026.
Homeroom keeps one family's homeschool records: attendance, the work and reading you log through the year, and what your state asks of you, with the statute beside each requirement.
Where the rules come from, and what they are not
Every requirement Homeroom shows carries two things: the statute it comes from, and the date Homeroom last checked it. A requirement with no citation is a rumour, and an app that hid how old its legal information was would make the staleness invisible, which is worse than being out of date.
These are summaries written for a parent, not legal advice. Homeroom is not a state agency and is not connected to one, and it does not decide whether your family is compliant, because that is a determination a state makes. The citation is there so you can read the source, and your state's department of education or a state homeschool organisation is the authority.
Why it asks which state before anything else
A compliance tracker that does not know your state is tracking nothing, so the picker is a wall rather than an empty list. Ten states are covered: Texas, Florida, North Carolina, California, Ohio, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan and Illinois.
You can change your state on the Account screen, and anything you already marked stays recorded under the state it was filed under. Each requirement can be marked Done, or Not us for rules that do not apply to your family, and one with a month attached says when it is coming up until it is marked.
Attendance, days and hours
One tap marks a student in for today, and with more than one student there is a button that marks everybody in at once. Hours are optional, because several states want them and several do not. Tapping again on the same day is a correction rather than a second day, so a year cannot quietly accumulate four hundred days; use Undo to take today back off.
Where days have no hours against them, Homeroom states how many rather than warning you about it. It does not know whether your state accepts days without hours. The rule text on The year screen does.
The school year starts in August, so a day logged in July counts toward the year that began the previous August.
Work, reading and photos
Work is logged with a title and an optional subject, either as a note or with a photograph of it. Reading is its own list, with titles and authors, because some states ask for titles of reading materials specifically. Photographs and uploaded documents go to private storage only your account can read, which matters: in several states a filed affidavit or an evaluator letter carries a home address and a signature.
The transcript
Homeroom can produce a plain text transcript for a student that you can share or print. It says what it is in its first three lines: a home education transcript, issued by the parent or guardian named on it, and not issued by an accredited institution. It states no grade point average, because a self-issued average is the number an admissions office trusts least.
Subscription
The Account screen shows whether your subscription is active. Billing runs through your Apple ID, so managing or cancelling happens at Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the renewal and leaves the current period running to its end. We cannot cancel it for you, and refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, since Apple is the merchant of record.
Your records
Signing in is a code sent to your email address; there is no password. Homeroom holds your state and school year, each child with the name, date of birth and grade you entered, their attendance, work and reading, and the files you upload. There is no other parent, no teacher and no directory, and nothing you write is sent to an AI model.
Deleting your account removes the account itself and takes your children, attendance, work, reading log and uploaded files with it. It cannot be undone, and it does not cancel an App Store subscription. The full policy is at carrierpress.com/homeroom/privacy.

One person reads that, so a reply may take a few days.
