You did more
than you think.
It's 11pm on Wednesday night and you're wondering if today counted. The endless pages of notes, the countless tabs, and the book they scribble in scattered everywhere. Sprout is where you document what your homeschooling week actually was. Clarity for you. A sense of achievement for them.

Charlie's year
Built for the parents
who walked away from the system.
“I envision all the other parents judging me and thinking I'm a horrible teacher who is failing my kids. When I hear my daughter stumble over words I was reading at her age, I worry.”
“Today was shit.”
“In survival mode, learning is impossible.”
“I'm so afraid of my daughter being "behind"!!!”
“'Just keep trying' is slow harm, not strategy.”
“I'm having the time of my life. Thank God I chose this.”
It's 11:42 PM.
You're staring
at the ceiling.
Wondering if
today counted.
You baked. You walked to the library. She wouldn't stop asking about volcanoes. You answered the phone twice during her maths. You think she got through one page. Maybe two. The washing's still on the line.
None of it felt like school.
All of it was.
“Mum, why does the volcano have fire inside?”
Three stupid simple
moves. The year
builds itself.
For when you're already doing too much. You capture; Sprout compiles. No AI making things up about your kid.
Did today even count?
Drop in one thing. Done.
Voice memo. Photo. One sentence at 9pm. A scheduled activity. A deadline coming Friday. Tag which kid (or the whole family). That's the entire input.
There when you open it — Sunday, Tuesday, whenever. The bits you captured add up to more than you remember.

What do I have to show for it?
Scroll back. It's all still here.
You're already doing it — voice memos, photos, the bits scribbled in the back of the calendar. Notes apps give you a longer scroll. ChatGPT forgets every session, and trains on what you tell it. Sprout keeps every moment, organised by kid, and lets you scroll back through six weeks or six months.
Continuity is the whole product. One kid's record, growing every week. Yours, not anyone else's.

What did we actually do this week?
Open it Sunday. The week's right there.
Voice memos, photos, structured journaling, scheduled days, deadlines met, what your kid actually did. No AI making anything up. Just the captures, organised. One timeline per kid. Charlie's grows separately to Emma's.
You scroll the week and the chaos turns into clarity. Your kid scrolls their own view and feels a sense of achievement. Same week, two screens, no model in the middle.
- Documenting your week is a new habit — Sprout makes it the easy one.
- Teaching your kid to journal is a life-long skill. Hand them the phone.
- Doubles as a record of learning if your registration officer ever asks.

Charlie's week is ready 🌱
Open it together. 7 captures this week.
Is this going to add up to something?
Print the year. Hand it to whoever's asking.
Weeks compile into monthly snapshots. Monthly snapshots compile into a year-end retrospective you can hold in your hand and hand to your kid.
Every kid you add grows their own year. The record builds itself while you're busy living.
Charlie's year
47 moments
12 weeks captured across 3 months. Ready to print on the kitchen wall.
Books on the floor. Pages on the bench.
ChatGPT trains on every word you tell it.
Sprout doesn't sell. Doesn't train. Doesn't forget.
The kid's scribble book on the kitchen counter. Library books stacked in the corner. The half-finished worksheet on the table. Hundreds of photos buried in your camera roll. The Notes app you stopped scrolling. The ChatGPT chats that get used to train someone else's model. None of it remembers Charlie from week to week. None connects this Tuesday to six weeks ago. And none of it stays yours.

Sprout
Your kid's stuff
stays yours.
The data is yours.
Voice memos, photos, journaling, what your kid did — all of it belongs to your family. Stored on your device, backed up to your private cloud. Yours to export. Yours to delete. Yours to keep.
We can't sell what isn't ours.
Sprout is the platform. Your captures are your family's, not ours. The architecture is built that way — there's nothing for us to sell, even if we wanted to.
AI isn't being trained on you or your kids.
No AI inside Sprout. Nothing summarises, nothing learns from what your kid says. Big tech doesn't get to train on your family's week.
The printed week sits on the kitchen table, still warm. Charlie climbs up next to you and points at the volcano week — “we did that.”
Both of you see what the week was.
Pulled from real forum
threads. Answered straight.
Will this turn into another app I forget I'm using?
Do you sell or train on our data?
Can my kid record their own entries?
I'm not techy. Will I be able to use it?
Can I track more than one kid?
Their week of learning.
Summarized while
you sleep on Sunday.
You're not the only one doing it this way.
