Balanced Teams for Teachers

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Build balanced groups, rotate through stations, assign fair roles, track participation, and keep classroom activities organized with GroupKeeper. GroupKeeper helps teachers, coaches, team leaders, and organizers create balanced groups, rotate responsibilities fairly, move through stations, give everyone a fair turn, and stay organized—without giving up control over the details. Create a workspace for each class, team, club, or event.

GroupKeeper 1.3.1 makes activities easier to manage and Station Rotation more flexible. • Add and rename groups while adjusting an in-progress Station Rotation. • End an in-progress activity while keeping its history in Timeline, or delete it and its history when you no longer need it. • Roles now have clearer controls for removing roles and choosing the default. • People now show roles consistently, with clearer role-aware search. • Improved iCloud restore feedback and reliability when setting up GroupKeeper on a new device. • Improved VoiceOver focus, labels, and activity feedback throughout the app. • Additional fixes and polish across Station Rotation, Create Groups, Participation, Timeline, and sharing. Thanks for using GroupKeeper!
