Your paper planner can't ping you when a deadline is tomorrow. A generic calendar app doesn't know what INSET days are. Teacher Task Manager is an online teacher planner built around how schools actually work — timetables, term dates, marking, and everything in between.
Free plan available · Works offline · iOS, Android & desktop
Most teachers start the year with a paper planner and good intentions. By October half-term, it's buried under exercise books with half the pages blank. The problem isn't discipline — it's that a paper planner was never designed for the volume and variety of tasks a teacher juggles every single day.
Generic apps like Notion, Todoist, or Apple Reminders are powerful — but they don't know what a GCSE marking window is, they can't colour-code deadlines by whether they fall in term time or a holiday, and they have no concept of a bell schedule. You end up spending more time configuring your tools than actually using them.
Teacher Task Manager is an online teacher planner designed from the ground up for school staff. It knows what terms are, what INSET days look like, what a Period 5 lesson means, and what "books due back Friday" implies. You describe what you need to do — it handles the rest.
One app, every part of your school workload — accessible on any device, even offline.
Set up your weekly timetable once — class, room, period — and the app knows your day. See exactly what's coming up before the school week begins.
Enter your term dates, INSET days and holidays. Every task deadline is colour-coded — school day, weekend, holiday or INSET — so you never schedule work for a day off.
Type "Mark Year 10 essays by Thursday, urgent" and the app parses it instantly. No dropdowns, no forms — just describe the task as you'd say it.
Switch between list, Kanban board, calendar, priority, and today views. See your workload the way that makes most sense to you on any given day.
A private scratchpad always one tap away. Lesson ideas, meeting notes, observations — captured quickly before they disappear.
Install it to your phone's home screen like a native app. Tasks, timetable and notes all load instantly — even on patchy school Wi-Fi or no signal at all.
Most teachers cobble together their planning from multiple tools. Teacher Task Manager brings it all under one roof:
The result is less switching between apps, fewer things falling through the cracks, and a clearer picture of what actually needs doing — and when.
Teacher Task Manager is free to start — no credit card, no setup fee. Your timetable and first tasks can be up in five minutes.
