For self-contained special education teachers
Log it the second it happens, not from memory at 4 p.m.
You collect data with a student on each arm, so it waits until Friday. By then half of it lives in your memory and on sticky notes you can't find. Captured logs an IEP goal or a behavior in a tap, or a quick voice note, the second it happens, so the proof is already there when a parent asks or the IEP meeting comes.
- Tap it, or just say it. One observation logged in under 3 seconds.
- Every entry is timestamped and tied to the goal, the moment it happens.
- Trend graphs and drafted progress reports build themselves while you teach.
- For your IEP meetings, not someone else's dashboard.
Free during early access. Just your email, no credit card, leave anytime. Built with input from 400+ special education teachers.
Most classroom apps ask you to stop and remember it later. Captured logs it while you're still teaching.
The bind you already know
The problem was never that you forget. It's that you can't stop teaching to write it down.
In a self-contained room, the redirect happens in seconds. So does the data. By the time there's a breath to reach for the clipboard, the exact count is already gone. These are real teachers, in their own words.
"I just got them to sit down and do a task. Great. How long were they sitting there? I don't remember."
Heather, K-5 self-contained teacher. Duration and frequency data doesn't wait for you to have a free hand. By the next transition, the exact numbers are already gone.
"If I'm in the middle of teaching and having to redirect behavior, I don't have time to stop and document what's going on in the moment."
Christi, self-contained teacher, grades 5-8. The redirect happens in seconds. Writing it down doesn't. Captured logs it in a tap or a word, so the moment isn't lost.
"How are you measuring this data? Are you just making it up?"
Christina, PreK-12 intervention specialist. You did the work. But guesswork doesn't hold up to that question. Data that's timestamped and tied to a goal does.
How it works, even with a student on each arm.
Tap it as it happens
One tap logs a trial, count, or duration, prompting level included.
Or just say it
Say the name, the goal, and the result. Paras can log to the same caseload the same way.
It's already graphed
Every entry lands on the trend line and drafts your progress report, automatically.
Not built for teachers. Built with them.
400+ special education teachers are shaping this
“You are definitely a genius! I end up with sticky notes everywhere and lose half of them before I can get the data entered, or I get so busy I forget to even write it down. This app is going to make it easy.”
“Captured is like teachers just having a conversation at the lunch table or in the faculty room understanding what we mean and what would benefit us to help our students... other apps I have looked at, the way it's presented, it's confusing, very formal.”
“I am very excited to use this when school starts.”
Built for your classroom, not a district dashboard.
What Captured gives back
Proof that holds up
You've kept paper trackers locked in a filing cabinet for years, because that's what an audit could ask for. Captured does that job digitally. Every entry captures who logged it, their role, the prompting level, and the moment it happened. It's encrypted and visible only to your caseload, built around the same privacy standards FERPA sets for student records. When someone asks to see it, it's already there.
Your evenings, returned
Captured turns the data you logged into a progress narrative, ready for parent updates and reports. You add your own words and review it before it goes out. The work ends when the school day does.
A second set of eyes on every goal
Captured watches the data with you. It tells you who is making progress, who is plateauing, and who needs more of a challenge. When a goal is too hard, it offers a scaffolded next step for you to approve or adjust.
Nobody falls through the cracks
See your whole caseload at a glance. Captured flags the student who has not had data logged in a while, so you can check if they were absent or simply missed. It catches the plateau in week two, not four days before the IEP meeting.
Capture in the room. Catch up when you can.
The same Captured everywhere you are. The phone you already keep on you captures it. The computer catches you up whenever you get a moment, not just when the quarter ends.

A preview of what we're building.
Why I built Captured
I've spent 20 years in education support, the last year and a half as a para in a self-contained classroom. I watched my teachers do extraordinary work, students growing in academics and behavior, real progress every day. And I watched that progress slip away undocumented, because no one could stop to get the binder out while the room was running.
Statistics is my other classroom. I've studied it across health, education, and business, and I tutor graduate nursing students in it now. So I know exactly what it takes for data to hold up when someone asks to see it.
I built Captured, with more than 400 special education teachers, so the proof finally keeps up with the teaching.

The honest part
Nothing's built yet. Here's why that's worth your email anyway.
Captured is pre-launch. We won't pretend otherwise. What we can show you is what it's already built on, and exactly what you're signing up for. No cost, no credit card, no obligation.
Built from real research, not a hunch
Discovery interviews and surveys with 468 special education teachers, plus a 20-person advisory group, across multiple research cycles. The pain points on this page are verbatim from named teachers, not written by a marketing team.
Your data stays yours
We don't sell student data. You can export it anytime, and if you ever leave Captured, your data leaves with you. Student identifiers are teacher-defined.
Early access shapes what gets built
Free during early access. You get a first look at the beta, and the feedback you give decides what comes next, before anyone else sees it. When it's your turn, you get one short email. No spam, no daily nagging, and you can leave anytime.
Questions teachers ask us.
I've tried apps like this and they don't fit how my classroom runs. How is this different?
Fair. Most tools ask you to stop and feed a form. Captured is built for the opposite: a single tap or a short voice note in the seconds you actually have, with a student on each arm. It's built around how self-contained rooms already run, from 468 teachers' real interviews and surveys, not a generic template.
Can my para or co-teacher enter data too?
Yes. Anyone on your team can log for a shared caseload, and every entry keeps track of who logged it and their role. It's not one more thing only you manage, and there's nothing new for your paras to learn beyond one tap or one spoken sentence.
Does this actually save time, or is it one more system to learn?
The whole point is that there's almost nothing to learn. If you can tap a button or say a sentence, you already know how to use it. The time you'd spend reconstructing data from memory and sticky notes at 4 p.m. is the time you get back.
Does my district have to approve it before I can use it?
No. Captured is built for individual teachers and paras to start using directly, the same way you'd use any personal classroom tool. It's your record for your meetings, not a dashboard for oversight.
Is student data private? Is Captured FERPA-aligned?
Yes. Student identifiers are teacher-defined, data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Captured is built around the same privacy standards FERPA sets for student records. It's visible only to your caseload, and we don't sell student data.
Nothing's built yet. What am I actually signing up for?
Early access, free. You're being honest that this is pre-launch, and so are we. You'll get a first look at the beta and a real say in what gets built, shaped alongside the 400+ teachers already involved. When it's your turn, you get one short email. That's it, and you can leave anytime.
What will it cost?
Free during early access. Long-term pricing isn't locked in yet, and early access teachers will hear about any changes before anyone else does.
Get early access
Put the sticky notes away.
Free during early access. Just your email to hold your spot, no credit card. When it's your turn, one short email, no spam, and you can leave anytime.
