CoGen Spark

We built CoGen Spark after stepping into homeschooling myself and watching other families in our co-op run into the same daily friction. Schedules were scattered, priorities shifted constantly, planners got lost, and the coordination overhead never seemed to end. As a professional developer, I felt like I could build something that actually helped. During our private beta, Spark has been used by co-op families and parents from many different backgrounds and learning styles, including students who do best with calmer structure and predictable routines. The goal was not to create another noisy productivity app. Spark is designed to make the day feel lighter with clear next steps, fewer distractions, and a workflow that supports student independence and parent teamwork. Spark focuses on the biggest homeschool pain points: • Simple task and schedule management that does not become another project to manage • Focus friendly student mode that keeps the next task obvious • Reliable backups and quick restore so progress is never lost • Templates that save time and reduce decision fatigue • Parent and tutor checklists for fast accountability • Cross device sync so parents can assign, review, and check off work from anywhere What evolved during the build was the philosophy. We started with a planner, but the beta made it clear we were building a calm command center for the homeschool day. The workflow became simpler, the interface became quieter, and the features became more practical. Less fluff, more reliability, and fast recovery when life happens. We are excited to launch because we have already watched Spark reduce chaos in real homes. It is working, and we believe it can be a game changer for families who want structure without stress.
