Build Tools That
Actually Matter.
7 Forge Labs is my independent software studio. I design and ship focused, practical products — currently building Homeroom Engine, a curriculum and progress tracker for homeschooling families.
Software built with
intent, not noise.
7 Forge Labs exists because most software is over-engineered, bloated, or built for the wrong reasons. I build tools with a clear purpose — products that solve a specific problem well and then get out of the way.
As a solo founder, every product decision has skin in the game. What I build is what I'd actually use — and what I believe people genuinely need.
Homeroom Engine
A dedicated application for homeschooling families. Organize your curriculum, track educational milestones, and build creative learning environments — without the administrative overhead of managing it all in spreadsheets and sticky notes.
Everything a homeschool family needs.
Curriculum Organization
Structure your entire homeschool year in one place. Organize subjects, units, and lessons with a clear hierarchy. Supports multiple children, multiple curriculums, and as many approaches as you can dream up.
Progress Tracking
See exactly where each child stands — by subject, by week, by milestone. No guessing, no spreadsheets.
Lesson Planning
Plan ahead with a flexible scheduling system. Daily, weekly, or unit-based — your classroom, your structure. Drag and rearrange as life happens.
AI-Powered Insights
Get intelligent recommendations on pacing, gaps, and next steps — tailored to each child's progress. Less guesswork, better learning outcomes.
Multi-Child Support
Manage every child's curriculum in one account. Switch between learners instantly without losing your place in anyone's plan.
Family Dashboard
A high-level view across all children, all subjects, and the full school year at a glance. Know what's on track, what needs attention, and what's coming up — without digging through individual lesson plans.
Up and running in minutes.
Set Up Your School
Add your children, choose your curriculum approach, and define the subjects you're teaching. Whether you follow a structured program or build it yourself, Homeroom Engine works the way you do.
Build Your Curriculum
Organize your units and lessons, attach resources, and schedule out your academic year. Life happens. Drag, drop, and rearrange without losing anything.
Track & Celebrate Progress
Mark lessons complete, log notes, and watch your child's progress build over time. Real reports you can share with co-ops, keep for your records, or just use for peace of mind.
