Export your home education records when you need them
Keep your records organised in Strew, and export a clear summary for backup, sharing, or your own review. No scrambling, no copying and pasting. Just easy home ed reports.
Records are only useful if you can share or back them up
Most systems fall apart at the moment you need an overview. Exporting should be a button, not a project.
Strew helps you keep a tidy record day-to-day, then export it cleanly when you need it.
- Copying notes from different places takes hours.
- Photos and notes don’t stay together.
- Formatting nicely can be surprisingly hard.
- You worry about losing your records.
