Lightweight, single-page software for real classrooms. No installs. No bloat. No data harvesting. Just tools that quietly do their job — built by someone who's still in the room with kids.
Each one solves a specific, annoying problem teachers actually have. Use what you need. Skip what you don't.
Mount an iPad on the wall by your door. Kids wave at it to sign out. Wave again to sign in. You stop getting interrupted mid-lesson to write down "Maya · bathroom · 10:47."
Run morning meeting on the screen. Calendar, weather, daily greetings, and SEL routines for your littlest learners. Built warm and visual on purpose.
Plan your room before students walk in. Drag desks, set conflicts, hit Auto-Arrange. Save layouts for every section. Print or share.
Big Brain Labs is a one-teacher software studio. I started it because every tool I was supposed to use as a teacher was either built by a giant ed-tech company that hadn't been in a classroom in twenty years, or some nightmare of pop-ups, ads, and dashboards that wanted to "track engagement."
Every app starts the same way: I notice something annoying in my own classroom — the clipboard kids forget to sign back in, the morning meeting that drags, the tardy log that never gets filed — and I build the tool I wish existed. I polish it until I'm proud to use it with my own students. Then, and only then, do I put it on the internet.
No private equity. No engagement dashboards. No tracking pixels embedded in your students' photos. Just useful software that gets out of your way.
If you're a teacher and you want to test something early, I'd love that. If you find a bug, I'm the one fixing it. — hello@brbkiosk.us
