How much of the list should be your money?
Start with what the school funds or already owns. Estimate what can be borrowed or sourced free. The remaining gap is the part that deserves the hardest scrutiny.

Estimate only. Do not buy classroom essentials until you know what the school, department, families, PTA, prior teacher, and shared storage already provide.
A calmer order of operations
The app makes “do I really need this?” visible.

Compare the real price
Record two vendor prices and unit quantities so a familiar marketplace is not mistaken for the cheapest option.
3
Keep what earns its place
Track what the classroom owns, where it lives, what was actually used, and what should not be repurchased.

Questions
Plain answers.
Does the app tell me what every teacher must buy?
No. It deliberately avoids universal must-have claims. Grade, subject, room, school policy, shared inventory, and student needs change the answer.
Where is my information stored?
The paid app is one HTML file that runs locally. Entries are saved in that browser's local storage on that device. It has no login, analytics, external fonts, or cloud sync.
Should I enter student information?
No. The app is for classroom supplies, storage, budgets, and setup tasks. Do not enter student names, contacts, health information, accommodation details, passwords, payment data, or other sensitive information.
Can I reuse it next year?
Yes. One buyer may reuse and copy it for their own classroom. It may not be resold, redistributed, uploaded as a template, or shared publicly.
Is this financial, tax, school-policy, or educational advice?
No. It is an organizational tool. Follow school purchasing rules and use official guidance for reimbursements, deductions, student privacy, safety, and instruction.
