Tracking has a bad name in home education, and for good reason. Most tracking systems are designed for schools, and they carry school-shaped pressure into a family kitchen. A spreadsheet of ticks against a curriculum is a fast route to a miserable Tuesday.
But a record is not a report card. A record is a memory. When you look back at the autumn term in April, a gentle record tells you what you actually did. That alone answers most of the "am I doing enough" questions on its own.
The lightest sustainable practice is one photo and one sentence a day. If the photo is of a drawing, a baked loaf, or a heron, it is enough. If the sentence is "read Harry Potter on the sofa for an hour", it is enough. Consistency matters more than detail.
If you do three such entries a week for a year, you end up with roughly 150 small records of real learning. Any Local Authority officer in the country can read that and see a suitable education.
Flybrite makes this a thirty-second job. Open the app, tap +, drop a photo, type a sentence, done. The system does the categorising, the archiving, and the year-end summarising for you. You just show up.
