“What's the homework?” answered forever.
Your students don't carry devices — so a classroom app was never the answer. The right model for our schools: teachers post tonight's homework in 30 seconds, and every parent gets one WhatsApp digest covering all their children at 5pm.
Planned; no date announced. Homework digests are on the 613OS roadmap. Today, we integrate with your SIS — and the WhatsApp line, family records, and quiet-hours rules the digest will run on are already live.

The problems we built for
The 7pm scramble“What's the English homework?” triggers a chain of calls to classmates' mothers — every single night, in every single class.
Student planners don't make it homeThe assignment was on the board. The planner is in the desk. The test is tomorrow — and parents find out after the fact.
LMS platforms assume devicesClassroom apps assume every student has a laptop. In our schools they don't — homework visibility has to reach parents, not students.
What's planned
Built for schools where kids don't have devices
30-second teacher postingAfter class, the rebbi or teacher taps out tonight's assignment from their phone — subject, description, due date, done.
One digest per familyParents get a single 5pm WhatsApp covering every child — not six separate app notifications from six classrooms.
Test & project alertsUpcoming tests and long-term projects flagged days ahead — the chumash test stops being a morning-of surprise.
Attachment supportWorksheets and source sheets attached to the digest — the missing paper no longer means the homework can't get done.
Quiet-hours awareDigests send at your chosen hour and respect Shabbos and Yom Tov automatically — no motzei Shabbos backlog blasts.
Office visibilityThe office sees what was posted and what wasn't — gentle nudges to teachers who forgot, before parents call.

Frequently asked questions
What is a parent homework digest?
A parent homework digest is one consolidated evening message — typically by WhatsApp — listing tonight's assignments for every child in a family. Teachers post in thirty seconds after class; parents receive one message at 5pm. It's assignment visibility designed for schools where students don't carry devices. The 613OS digest is planned; no date announced.
Why a parent digest instead of a classroom app?
Because in our schools students don't have devices — the classroom-app model assumes they do. Homework visibility has to reach parents, and one 5pm WhatsApp covering all their children beats six app notifications parents won't install.
How much work will this be for teachers?
Thirty seconds per class from a phone: subject, assignment, due date, optional attachment. The office sees who posted, so gentle nudges replace parent complaints — adoption by design, not decree.
Will digests handle tests and long-term projects?
Yes. Upcoming tests and project milestones flag days ahead in the digest, so the chumash test stops being a morning-of discovery and the science fair doesn't ambush anyone Sunday night.
What about Shabbos and Yom Tov?
Digests respect quiet hours and the Jewish calendar automatically — nothing sends Friday night, and motzei Shabbos doesn't unleash a backlog. The schedule is yours to set.
