Beta — free while we build it

Teacher tools for Botple Notes

Hand a worksheet out, get it back, mark it — without asking your school to install or buy anything.

Botple Notes already lets a student open a worksheet and fill it in. These tools are the other half: the part that makes it work for a whole class.

No payment, no card, no contract. Nothing to cancel.

What's being built

1 A folder per class. Made once, in your own Google Drive. Everything for that class lives in it.

2 Hand out. Share a worksheet as a link or a short code. Students open it in Botple Notes and start writing — no account needed on their side.

3 Collect back. Completed worksheets return to the same folder, named by student, so you're not digging through email attachments.

4 See who's done it. A simple list built from what's actually in the folder.

5 Mark and return. Tick, comment and score on the page itself, then send it back.

6 Reuse next term. Send the same worksheet to a new class with the answers cleared.

Where your students' work actually lives

In your Google Drive. Not on a Botple server — there isn't one.

That's a deliberate design decision, not a limitation. Worksheets have children's names on them, and a one-person project has no business holding that. Using Drive means the files stay inside an account your school already trusts, under whatever rules it already has, and nothing about your class passes through us.

It also means these tools cost nothing to run, which is why they can be free.

Still easy for students

None of this appears in a student's app. Teacher tools sit behind a switch that is off by default and invisible until it's turned on — a student opening a worksheet sees exactly what they see today, and not one extra button.

Join the waiting list

The beta is deliberately small — a handful of teachers at a time, so I can actually respond to what you tell me. Leave your email and I'll send you an access code when there's a place.

Your email is used to send you an access code and nothing else. No newsletter, no sharing it with anyone.

Honest answers

Will this cost money later?

Possibly, for the teacher tools specifically — that's the part that could one day fund the project. The student side stays free permanently, and nothing you use during the beta will be taken away without warning.

Do my students need accounts?

No. That's the point of the whole thing.

What if my school blocks new websites?

Then this won't reach your students on school machines, and no tool can work around that — it's your IT department's decision. It will still work on their own devices at home.

How ready is this?

Being honest: the student app is real and usable today; these teacher tools are being built now. That's exactly why the waiting list exists rather than a Buy button.
