La Boîte à Profs

New: build the seating plan for each classroom and assign students with a flick. All offline.

La Boîte à Profs is the free, offline tool designed to simplify your daily life as a teacher.

No account needed. No internet required. No ads. Just a simple tool that does what you need, right from your phone.

MANAGE YOUR CLASSES

• Create as many classes as you need
• Add students manually, one by one
• Or import your lists from an Excel file (.xlsx), CSV, TSV or TXT
• Smart import wizard detects your columns and shows a preview before importing
• Tap a student to open their profile and manage their relationships with classmates
• Archive classes at the end of the year to keep a clean history

RANDOM DRAW

Need to pick a student at random? A volunteer for the board?

• Draw a student in one tap
• The app keeps track: every student gets picked before anyone is drawn again
• Already-drawn students are visually crossed out
• Reset the cycle whenever you want
• You can also manually mark a student as drawn or not

RANDOM GROUPS

No more wasting 10 minutes forming groups by hand.

• Choose group size (2, 3, 4, or 5 students)
• Uncheck absent students
• Shuffle with one tap
• Smart groups: favor students who get along, separate those who don't
• The app avoids repeating the same pairs across saved generations
• A red conflict indicator warns you when incompatible students end up together
• Not satisfied? Re-shuffle as many times as you want
• Save your groups with a name (e.g., "Science Project")
• Find them later with full version history
• Export as CSV or text, or share directly

SEATING PLAN

Recreate your classroom's layout and place your students visually.

• Several plans per class (morning lessons, by groups…)
• Adjustable grid, linked cells for islands, disabled cells for missing corners
• Mark room objects (sink, plant…) or add your own custom decorations
• Drag students between seats, or let the app place them with relationships in mind
• Teacher's desk at the top or the bottom of the plan
• Export as a printable PDF, ready to tape on the desk, handy for substitutes
• Project the plan on the classroom screen via web display

ASSESSMENT TIMER

A simple, configurable timer for exams and assessments.

• Set a base duration with a visual dial
• Enable extended time (tiers temps) for students with accommodations
• Add intermediate alerts (half-time, 15 min, 5 min remaining)
• Choose end signal: vibration, sound, or both
• Timer keeps running in the background with notifications
• Project the timer on the classroom screen via web display

WEB DISPLAY

Project your groups on the classroom screen. No cable, no USB stick.

• Open the web display on any computer or projector with a browser
• Scan the QR code or enter the session code from your phone
• Your classrooms and saved groups appear instantly on screen
• Browse and display any group generation in a clear, projector-friendly layout
• All data is sent directly from your phone, nothing is stored on a server
• The connection stays alive even if you switch apps

STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS

From a student's profile, mark which pairs get along and which don't. Random groups and seating-plan auto-placement both take it into account; a conflict indicator warns when incompatible students end up together.

La Boîte à Profs was built by an independent developer, in direct contact with teachers. The app evolves based on your feedback.
