School-aware
The calendar has to tell the truth.
Teachers do not work on a generic Monday-to-Friday grid. Planlark is built around cycle days, holidays, PD days, assemblies, and the real timetable that actually drives the week.
About Planlark
Made by teachers, for teachers who plan inside the real school week.
Planlark exists because most planning tools flatten teaching into a checklist. Real teaching is messier than that. It runs through rotating schedules, curriculum documents, last-minute changes, hallway voice notes, and the constant need to adjust tomorrow based on what happened today.
We are building Planlark as a teacher-led workflow where schedule logic, curriculum, unit planning, assessments, and AI actions all work together instead of living in separate tools. The work is being shaped by Andreas Much, Founder and CEO of Planlark, whose more than 25 years of actual in-classroom teaching experience in bilingual education continue to inform the product. His focus on technology integration and practical AI use in the classroom is central to how Planlark approaches planning, assessment, and day-to-day teaching workflow.
Why it feels different
The planner, the unit view, and the AI all work from the same school context.
What we optimize for
Less admin drift. More usable plans that survive the week teachers actually have.

Teacher-built
This is not a generic productivity app with school language pasted on top.
Planlark is being shaped around the rhythm of classroom work. That means the product has to respect planning as teachers actually do it: in fragments, across multiple classes, with curriculum pressure, and with constant small revisions after each day of teaching.
Planlark is made by teachers, for teachers, with product direction shaped by classroom reality rather than generic productivity trends.
Andreas Much, CEO and founder, brings more than 25 years of actual in-classroom teaching experience, including extensive work in a bilingual program.
Technology integration and practical AI use in the classroom are part of the founder perspective, not a trend added later for marketing copy.
The workflow starts from the materials teachers already use: curriculum documents, textbook excerpts, weekly pacing decisions, quick voice notes, and after-class adjustments.
We pay attention to the moments most products ignore: the class that gets bumped by an assembly, the lesson that runs long, the unit that needs to shrink, and the assessment that has to be rebuilt tonight.
That is why the product keeps circling back to the same idea: planning, teaching, reflection, and revision are one connected loop.
What we believe
Product decisions should come from classroom pressure, not feature theater.
AI that acts
AI should do planning work, not just write paragraphs.
Lark is being built to create, edit, move, delete, and regenerate real planning records inside the product instead of behaving like a disconnected chatbot.
Curriculum first
Curriculum belongs inside the workflow.
Outcomes, units, lessons, assessments, and daily adjustments should live in one connected system so teachers can see what they taught and what still needs to happen.
Built for reality
The product is being shaped around the parts of teaching that usually get ignored.
If a planning tool breaks the moment a class gets bumped, a lesson runs long, or a teacher wants to revise one assessment question by voice, it is not really built for school. Planlark is.
Built for in-between moments
Teachers often plan in the hallway, in the parking lot, or right after the bell. Voice capture and quick edits are part of the product because that is when real planning happens.
Built for constant revision
A good plan is rarely finished in one pass. Planlark is designed so lessons, units, and assessments can be adjusted without rebuilding everything around them.
Built for actual class groups
Different classes need different pacing, reading levels, and supports. The product is moving toward class-aware planning rather than one-size-fits-all templates.
Start from curriculum, textbook text, or a spoken idea instead of a blank planning form.
Move from year planning to units to lessons to assessments without switching mental models.
Keep the teacher in control while the AI handles the repetitive planning work underneath.
