SC Class Assistant: Classroom Management with Interactive Seating Charts

SC Class Assistant offers interactive seating charts (for attendance, behavior, fire drill attendance, and behavior tracking), random fair student picker (picks students to be called on evenly and potentially always in a different order, keeps students on their toes because they never know when they will be called on), and group creation tools to streamline teaching tasks and boost engagement.

All data is stored securely on your device, no need to worry about cloud-based data breaches (though you can back up the data file anywhere, and if you do you are responsible for where you store that file.

Seating charts are initially laid out in a row/column grid format, but you can drag the seats anywhere on the screen from the 'layout' seating chart option. If there are extra seats, you can toggle on the option to hide empty seats. You can pinch the seating chart (except on layout screen) to adjust it to fit your screen or zoom in, or if you use the menu on the upper right you can make pinching adjust the font size instead (different teachers/languages have different lengths of student names, choose the font size that works for you). While seats are initially assigned alphabetically, you can re-assign seats without changing the layout, and there is even an option to randomly asssign seats. If you add students to the class after the seeating chart is created, they are automatically assigned to the first empty sedat (if there are no empty seats, it may add an additional rows worth of seats).

Not originally, but for example I used AI artwork in the app because I'm not an artist, and when I added round student photo support (rather than square), i used an AI tool called Cursor to help add the code for that (it kept doing it wrong, but I kept asking it to correct things and after around 50-100 tries it got it right) - and starting in late 2025 (I've been building this app since 2017) the developer tool (Apple Xcode) added ChatGPT support, so I subscribed and it enabled some auto-complete features - it would see what I was trying to do and make suggestions - sometimes it made good suggestion and sometimes its suggestions generated broken code and ultimately I had to review/modify any suggestions it made. This particular web page was originally created with AI (as was the app store listing), but again I try to modify it because AI likes to make assumptions about the app that aren't necessarily true.   As I write this, I recently (early December 2025) let AI rewrite the App Store listing, and it seems that when it did the number of  daily downloads dropped significantly, so at some point I will either rewrite it or use a different AI tool or prompt to rewrite the listing.   When I created the app, I would never have used the term "Classroom Management" (the term is not in my base vocabulary, I have a teacher in the family who wanted this app, but I am not a teacher), but both AI and some reviewer(s) had used that term, so I let it stay. For non-english versions, I let one AI tool or another do the translations. For non-english app store reviews, I also use AI to do translations for reading and replies.
