Anni Planner
The teacher planner that moves your lessons when a snow day hits.
Anni is a digital teacher planner for elementary teachers. It looks and plans like the paper planner you love, then does the things paper never could.
How does a snow day work in Anni?
School closes. In a paper planner that means erasing, re-copying, and hoping nothing falls through the cracks. In Anni it takes one tap.
- Anni notices the closure from your district calendar feed, or you mark the day closed yourself.
- Every affected lesson moves forward to the next real school day. Weekends, holidays, and breaks are skipped automatically.
- You get a nothing-lost report listing every move, and a flag on anything that would land past the last day of school.
You can preview the whole ripple before committing, run it for a single day or a whole stretch, and reverse it if plans change. Anni can even forecast a closure that has not happened yet, so you know on Tuesday what a Thursday storm would do to your week.
What can Anni do that paper cannot?
Every one of these is live in the beta today.
Scan in your old planner
Photograph or PDF your paper planner and Anni reads it, matches the entries to your subjects, and maps your weeks onto this year's calendar. You approve every lesson before it lands.
Plans email themselves
Pick a day, a time, and the people. Anni emails a clean weekly packet of your plans to your principal, your team, or anyone else, with reminders to you first.
Sub plans in one tap
One tap builds a substitute page for the day: schedule, lessons, class list, transportation, emergency procedures, and your note. Anni emails the link and tells you when the sub opens it.
Apple Pencil handwriting
Write anywhere with the Pencil and iPad Scribble turns it into text. Palm rejection keeps stray touches from scrolling the page while you write.
Lessons roll over year to year
Next August, your plans come with you, mapped by school day so breaks shift automatically. A faint ghost of last year's plans can sit under this year's while you plan.
Your schedule, your blocks
Rename subjects, reorder your day, set different layouts per weekday, split a block into two tracks for differentiated groups. The planner bends to your classroom.
Also in the box: birthdays that appear on every calendar, attendance built from your district's real school days, a meeting log with per-student history, allergy posters and parent letters, voice notes that transcribe themselves, search across everything, printing of any page or the whole book, and an end-of-year keepsake book of the year you actually taught.
How do I get started?
The privacy promise
Anni was built by the family of a 3rd grade teacher, so it treats your class the way a teacher would. Nothing about your students appears on any public page, ever. Parent-facing pages show calendars and schedules only. Rosters, medical notes, grades, and contacts stay behind your login. Every sharing link is one you created on purpose, and you can revoke it any time.
Questions teachers ask
What happens to my lesson plans after a snow day?
Anni moves every affected lesson forward and shows you a report of every move. It skips weekends, holidays, and breaks using your district calendar, and it flags anything that would fall past the last day of school. You can preview the whole ripple before committing.
Does Anni work with Apple Pencil?
Yes. Every field is a standard editable field, so iPadOS Scribble converts your handwriting to text natively, with palm rejection while the Pencil is in contact.
Can I bring in my old paper planner?
Yes. Photograph or scan the pages and Anni reads them, matches each entry to your subjects, maps the weeks onto your current calendar, and lets you review every lesson before anything is saved.
Can my principal get my plans automatically?
Yes. Anni emails a clean weekly packet to anyone you choose, on the day and time you choose, with optional reminders to you beforehand.
What can parents see?
Only what you publish: a read-only page with your class calendar and weekly schedule. Names, medical notes, grades, contacts, and passwords are never on any public page. You can also share a one-day peek link that expires by itself.
What does Anni cost during beta?
The beta is free for invited teachers. Request access below and Jon will reach out.
Is student information ever public?
No. Public pages are limited to calendars and schedules. Rosters, medical information, grades, and contact details stay behind your login, always.
Can I print my planner?
Yes. Print one page, chosen pages, or the whole planner, and save any of it as a PDF. At the end of the year Anni can build a printable keepsake book too.
