Teachers
DifferenTest for Teachers
Build lesson plans, generate assessments, and assess student progress.
Friendly software for real families
Practical apps, made with care, for real life
We are a small Boston studio: the kind of place where your kids' practice schedule and a landlord's workflow both get the same thoughtfulness. Today that means helping kids build habits at home.
How we work
What drives everything we build
-
Real problems first
We build for day-to-day needs: helping kids stick with practice, giving families and schools simple workflows, and removing friction from life.
-
Accessible by default
Interfaces should work for a wide range of people and abilities. Inclusive design is part of shipping something people can actually use, not an afterthought.
-
Clarity over complexity
Software should feel obvious. We favor plain language, thoughtful flows, and the shortest path to the outcome—whether you are a parent, a teacher, or a property owner.
-
AI with a purpose
We use AI where it saves time and reduces drudgery—summaries, suggestions, and automation you can review—not as a gimmick. You stay in control of decisions that matter.
-
Craft and reliability
We ship products we are willing to stand behind: solid engineering, performance, and care in the details, from Practice Buddy to what we are building next.
-
Grounded in feedback
The best ideas come from real conversations. We listen, test, and iterate with the people who use what we build so the product matches how life actually works.
