Your Unschooling Documentation Solution Is Here!
In our previous post, we shared the story of how our family's search for a better way to document our unschooling journey led to the creation of Unfolio. Today, we're thrilled to announce that Unfolio is officially launching in alpha, and we can't wait for you to be a part of it!

Our Journey So Far
Unschooling has been an incredible adventure for our family - full of spontaneous learning, boundless curiosity, and countless memorable moments. But like many of you, we found that traditional tools just didn't fit our needs when it came to documenting this unique educational path. We wanted something flexible, intuitive, and tailored to the unschooling philosophy. So, we decided to build it ourselves.
Introducing Unfolio Alpha
Unfolio is a web application designed specifically for unschooling families. It's centered around daily documentation, allowing you to effortlessly record the activities, discoveries, conversations, and experiences that make each day unique. Here's what you can expect in the alpha version:
- Simple Daily Entries: Quickly jot down what happened each day without worrying about fitting into predefined categories or subjects.
- Goals: Easily track your learner's projects, interests, questions, and more.
- AI-Powered Summaries: Our built-in AI generates insightful summaries of your entries, highlighting the skills and knowledge your children are developing.
- Data Privacy: We understand the importance of privacy. Your data is securely stored and accessible only to you.
What is an "Alpha"?
As an early adopter of Unfolio, we want to set clear expectations: the alpha version is a work in progress. This means it might be a bit bumpy - there will be bugs, some features might not work as expected, and others may disappear as we test and refine the app. But don't worry - you're not on this journey alone! We are committed to providing excellent, personalized support to guide you through any issues and gather your feedback. And as a thank-you for joining us early, you’ll have completely free access to all features until the beta launch. Your patience and input during this stage will be invaluable in shaping Unfolio into a tool that truly serves the unschooling community.
