Straight to the tool
Tap a tool on the home screen and it's ready. There's nothing to set up first and no tutorial to sit through.
Free on Android and iPhone
Classroom tools, ready in one tap.
Split the class into teams, run a round of Pictionary, spin for a name, start a timer or pull up a game. Classistant opens straight to the tool you need, with no accounts and no Wi-Fi required.
Have a look around:
The tools
Everything on the home screen
Each tool is one tap from opening the app, and remembers how you left it.
Group Picker
Students take turns putting a finger on the screen, and Classistant sorts them into 2 to 6 balanced teams. Long-press a team to change its name and colour.
Pictionary & Charades
Nearly 900 words graded Easy, Medium and Hard, plus a pop culture list. Choose which words are in play from the Word Bank, add your own, or import a CSV list a colleague has shared.
Spin the Wheel
Build a wheel for student names, discussion questions, prizes or forfeits, and keep a set of them to swipe between. The wheel you used last is waiting when you come back.
Timer & Stopwatch
Large digits the whole class can read, a progress bar that changes colour as time runs down, and an optional chime at zero. It keeps counting if you switch to another app.
Random Number
Tap a die to roll it: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 or d20. Set any range, save the ones you use often, and roll several numbers at once.
Quick Games
Fourteen classroom games with how-to-play instructions and a picture of the room during play, from Pictionary and Charades to Hot Seat and Simon Says. Filter by what you have to hand and how lively you want the room, or tap Surprise me and let the app choose.

Built for the front of the room
No Wi-Fi needed
Every tool runs offline, so a patchy school connection won't hold up the lesson.
No accounts
Nobody signs up, teachers or students. Your wheels, word lists and settings stay on your phone.
Safe on the big screen
The free version shows one banner ad, limited to content rated for general audiences.

Questions
Good to know
Is Classistant free?
Yes. Every tool is free, with a single banner ad. Premium is an optional one-time purchase that removes the ad and adds the Locker Door theme.
Is there an iPhone version?
Yes. Classistant is on the App Store for iPhone, as well as on Google Play for Android.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. All the tools work offline. The banner ad needs a connection to load, but nothing else does.
Do my students need accounts?
Nobody needs an account. Open the app and pick a tool.
Can I use my own word lists?
Yes. Add your own words in the Word Bank, or import a CSV file, so colleagues can share lists with each other.
Something isn't working. How do I get in touch?
Use Feedback in the app's Settings, or email [email protected].
