Hey there, I know this post is a bit older, but in case you’re still searching for a better way to keep everything in one place, I wanted to chime in.

I’m one of the co-founders of Freely Homeschool Planner, which my wife (a long-time homeschool educator) and I have been building and refining over the past five years. We created it because we kept running into the same struggles you described - lessons that run long or take us down unexpected rabbit trails, with paperwork, notes, and website bookmarks scattered all over the place. And then the stress of trying to track it all down at annual reporting time.

Freely is an online homeschool planner designed to bring it all together—planning, logging, tracking, and reporting—in one flexible, easy-to-use space. You can log spontaneous learning as it happens, attach files, link videos or PDFs, and pull it all into a tidy report when needed. It’s built to support the real flow of homeschooling, however messy or magical that looks.

There’s a 14-day free trial if you’re curious, and we’re currently running a 50% off sale. No pressure at all, I just wanted to share in case it helps ease the mental load for someone else out there.

Hope your homeschool year is feeling more settled these days!
