Homework Board
Homework Board is a calm, simple weekly planner for students and families. Add assignments, drag them between days, and mark them complete as you go. Your board stays on the device where you use it; no account or server is required.
Features
- Seven-day drag-and-drop board
- Add assignments with a subject, day, due date, and optional notes
- Mark work complete and track weekly progress
- See color-coded due-date countdowns for overdue, today, soon, and upcoming work
- Clear completed assignments in one click
- Persists automatically in the browser with
localStorage - Responsive layout with a warm espresso-inspired visual theme
Use the web app locally
The web app is dependency-free. Serve the web folder locally:
python -m http.server --directory web
Then visit http://localhost:8000.
Install the Windows app
Windows users do not need Node.js, Rust, or the source code. Download the
latest Homework Board_*_x64-setup.exe file from the
GitHub Releases page,
then double-click it and follow the installer prompts. The -setup.exe file is
the only file needed for installation.
Build from source
The app can be packaged as a native Windows desktop application with Tauri. This requires Node.js LTS, the Rust toolchain, and the Windows prerequisites for Tauri, including WebView2.
From the project folder, run:
npm install
npm run tauri build
The native executable is written to src-tauri\target\release\. Installers are
written under src-tauri\target\release\bundle\. The NSIS installer is the
easiest file to share, while the MSI can be deployed by Windows management
tools.
For a development desktop build, use npm run tauri dev.
Usage
- Select Add homework and enter an assignment and due date.
- Drag a card to another day when plans change.
- Check an assignment when it is finished.
Your assignments stay in the current browser or desktop app. Clearing its storage resets the board.
