Built by a teacher.
Designed to give teachers their time back.
Because marks don't capture themselves.
Penny captures your marks by voice, organises your assessments by term, and writes your report comments for you. Built by a teacher who knows exactly what your afternoons look like.
Free during beta · No credit card required
🎙️ Voice capture works best on Chrome on Android or desktop.
Teachers deserve better.
Teachers didn't become teachers because they enjoy administration.
Yet every afternoon they spend valuable hours capturing marks, organising assessments, preparing reports and managing paperwork.
Penny was created by a teacher who believes technology should remove burdens — not create new ones.
Every decision begins with one simple question:
Does this make a teacher's day easier?
If the answer is no — we don't build it.
Teaching has changed.
The administration hasn't.
Teaching is hard enough.
Your software shouldn't make it harder.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Penny quietly takes care of the work that steals your time.
Every feature exists for one reason: to help teachers teach.
