Trakist
Trakist is an iOS app for private tutors managing students, lessons, attendance, and payments. Tutors can create one-time or recurring sessions and record schedule changes and cancellations. Attendance works for individual and group sessions, with attended, rescheduled, or canceled statuses. Marking a student as attended automatically deducts one session credit for that student.
Invoices can include a logo and business details, and Trakist’s invoicing page describes automatic payments with Stripe. The free plan includes unlimited students, up to two classes, payments, scheduling, attendance, student progress, iCloud Sync, import and export, and customizations. The Monthly plan adds unlimited classes, invoicing, automatic payments, and automatic invoice generation for $4.99 a month. The Yearly plan costs $49.99 a year and includes everything in Monthly, with a listed free trial month and 20% savings. The maker says the app is currently available only in the App Store. It describes the company as a small independent team that began as a family business. The privacy policy says Trakist does not collect, store, use, or share information, though support emails may be retained for quality assurance.
