Use cases

Stop running field trips on Google Forms

Google Form for the waiver, Excel sheet to track who paid, Venmo screenshots in a group chat. Replace the whole mess with one form that collects the signature and the money in the same submit.

MarkTrack for madrasas and Alim programs

A six year Alim course is not built like a public school. The cohorts, the subjects, the Hifz revision cycle, none of it fits. MarkTrack does.

An LMS students actually open
