The Toddle gradebook, with the views it is missing — and a way to project it. Built for schools, and it sends your students' data precisely nowhere.
What it promises a school
The problem
You open a side panel to read each result, one student at a time. And what the gradebook shows is exactly what you do not want on a projector. The extension puts one column per standard, criterion or checklist item on the grid, with every student's result visible at once.
With a licence
Anywhere a student appears in Toddle, one click opens the student sidebar: grade, age and class of, their email, contacts, homeroom advisor, and a Now card for the block they are in, with today's timetable and attendance codes below it.
Free
The extension never hides Toddle's own student flags: they show as Toddle shows them. When your screen is shown to a class, a parent or a visitor, one free switch conceals them across Toddle, so what a flag says cannot be read from across the room.
Free
The Toddle home page's course filter gains My classes beside All courses and My courses. It is remembered, and a tag by the heading says when it is on.
What it does
Two features are free for everyone, and so is the check that tells you when Toddle changes. The rest are what a licence pays for.
Free
The extension never hides Toddle's own student flags: they show as Toddle shows them. When your screen is shown to a class, a parent or a visitor, one free switch conceals them across Toddle, so what a flag says cannot be read from across the room. The switch sits in Toddle's header and the extension's menu, and stays as you left it, so you can set it before a lesson.
The Toddle home page's course filter gains a third option beside All courses and My courses: only the classes you actually teach. It switches on and off at once, it is remembered, and a tag by the heading says when it is on. It only appears where you are on a class.
Toddle changes its pages without notice. Each feature checks, in your own Toddle tab, that it still finds what it needs, and the licence page shows each one as working, working with something changed, or paused because Toddle changed — paused cleanly, never half-drawn. Send us a report in one click, or switch on sending them automatically (it is off unless you do). A report says what changed in Toddle's page, masked, and carries no student data.
With a licence
Toddle shows an assessment tool as one icon per student, and you open a side panel to read each one. This puts one column per standard, criterion or checklist item on the grid, with every student's result visible at once and the full wording on hover — one tool at a time, or all of an assessment's tools together.
The table you are looking at, as an Excel workbook: a row per student, a column per criterion, in the same colours, with the headings frozen, a filter on every column and every comment in full. A second sheet lists every result on its own row, and the same list is one click away as a CSV. Generated in your browser and saved by your browser — it never passes through a server of ours, because there isn't one.
Click a student anywhere they appear in Toddle — class pages, name links, gradebook student cells, every tab of the Attendance dashboard — and they dock to the side until you close it: one larger photo, grade · age · class of, their email (click to copy it, or the envelope to write), Student Group, room number, homeroom advisor, and contacts with their relationship, tap-to-call phone and email. In School setup, Toddle's admin portal, it steps aside, so a click there does what Toddle does.
Beside the photo, a Now card: the student's attendance code for the block happening now, the block, class, room and timetabled teacher. Today's timetable is its own part: today's periods in time order with each one's attendance code, “No classes today”, or “Couldn't load timetable” with a Retry button. The rest of the panel never waits for it.
Click a class for the block it is in now, its primary teacher, parent course and room, and every teacher with their display title and email. Tick the teachers you want and email them all at once, or copy their addresses. Message buttons for staff, the student, the family and each family member open Toddle's own chat, under your school's messaging rules.
On the Students tab, each name gains the student's grade or year group and where they should be right now — “Now: class · teacher” — and the current block's column is outlined, moving on by itself as the day does.
The class's primary teacher, as ticked in the class settings, beside every class on the home page and on a student's profile — so you know who to ask without opening the class.
The flag switch
Toddle marks students with flags. They are useful — that is the point of them — and what they say is exactly what you do not want on a projector, in a screen share with a parent, in a lesson observation, or in a screenshot pasted into a planning document. One switch conceals them while your screen is shared.
Students stay identifiable to you — you are still teaching, and a gradebook of anonymous rows is no use to anyone. It is what a flag says that comes off the screen, because that is the piece of information the room should not be reading over your shoulder.
The extension doesn't hide Toddle's own flags: they stay where Toddle puts them, with their links and documents in Toddle's student popover. Concealing them is your choice: a new install starts with flags shown, and if you updated from 0.8.2, where flags were hidden by default, or you had hidden them yourself, they stay concealed until you show them. In the student sidebar, "Show flags" shows one student's flags when you need them.
It stays on. The setting persists as you move around Toddle and across browser sessions, so it is something you set before a lesson rather than something you have to remember at the worst possible moment.
The switch shows its state. It sits in the Toddle header, the same size as Toddle's own buttons, and reads as on or off at a glance — check it before you share, the same way you check the right window is selected.
It conceals flags. It does not hide names. Concealing is a screen, not a lock. A concealed flag can still show that a student has a flag. Concealing changes only what is drawn on the screen, never Toddle's data, and does not stop anyone at the computer opening a student's flags in Toddle. It works by changing what Toddle draws, which means it depends on Toddle's own markup, and a Toddle release could change that. Switch it on before you share, check it is on, and treat it as a good screen — not as a compliance control and not as a substitute for your school's safeguarding practice.
This describes version 0.16.0, on the Chrome Web Store.
How it works
It reads the gradebook you already have open, using the session you are already signed in with, and redraws it on your screen. This is everything it touches.
Inside your browser
Step 1: Toddle, in your tab
You sign in to Toddle as usual. The extension runs on web.toddleapp.com and nowhere else.
Step 2: The extension, on your machine
It reads what Toddle already lets you see, through read-only queries and the session you are signed in with. It never asks for your password, and writes are blocked outright.
Step 3: On your screen
Per-criterion columns, the student sidebar, and an Excel or CSV file your browser saves. Student data is held in the tab's memory and never written to storage.
What crosses that line, and nothing else
Toddle's own servers
Back to Toddle
The queries go to Toddle with your own sign-in, as Toddle's page does. What comes back goes nowhere else.
Our licence server
Only with a licence
At most once a day, a request for a signed list of cancelled keys. It sends no key, no identifiers and no Toddle data. If it fails, your licence keeps working.
Adding your licence
Only when you use your licence link
Once, the code from the one-time link in your licence email, and nothing else, to our licence server, which sends back your key. It is then checked on your machine like any key.
The feedback form
Only when you press Send
What you typed and the version number, to our feedback form, processed by Formspree. Nothing from Toddle is included. A Toddle compatibility report goes the same way, only when you send it or switch that on: what changed in Toddle's page, masked, with no student data.
In Toddle
Install
It lives on the Chrome Web Store, so there is nothing to download and nothing to configure. The only question is whether you are installing it for yourself or for a staff room.
For a teacher
No files to download, no Developer mode, nothing to unzip. Updates arrive on their own, the way every other Chrome extension does. Stuck? How to use the extension, in our help centre.
Add to ChromeFor a school
Because it is on the Chrome Web Store, IT can install it for every teacher by its extension ID, with no self-hosted package to maintain and no Developer mode on anyone's machine. Chrome keeps it up to date from the store.
ofliokikjmkkdkinbdnadbjjdmkjdjfi, from the Chrome Web Store.
Without the Admin console, the same force-install policy works through Group
Policy or Intune on Windows and a configuration profile on macOS, with the ID and
the store's update URL,
ofliokikjmkkdkinbdnadbjjdmkjdjfi;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx.
The licence. An organisation licence is
one key for your school's email domain, and IT sets it through Chrome policy for
the extension: in the Admin console's Policy for extensions, as
{ "licenceKey": { "Value": "TEE1…" } },
or in the Windows registry or a macOS profile. Every teacher on a managed browser
is then licensed without seeing or pasting the key, and the extension says
Provided by your school. The key cannot be typed into the extension, so
if your teachers pasted it into an earlier version, set the policy, or the
licensed features stop when they update. If your network filters outbound
traffic, allow licenses.nyuchi.com
(and licences.nyuchi.dev, which versions
before 0.9.0 asked, for any computer Chrome has not yet updated) so the daily check for cancelled keys can run and a teacher's claim link can be redeemed. If it is blocked, licences already added keep
working on the last result.
We will send you the full deployment guide, and the full answer to "what can this thing see?" — which somebody will ask, and should.
Talk to us about a rolloutPricing
The flag switch protects a student, so it is not behind a price and never will be. The My classes filter is free too. The gradebook's per-criterion columns, the Excel and CSV exports, the student sidebar, primary teacher names and the Attendance dashboard's details are the time saving, and that is what a licence pays for.
Free
Any teacher, for as long as they like.
US$5 per year
One teacher.
For a school
US$149.99 per year
A school. One key for your email domain: anyone signed in to Toddle with an address there is covered.
Checkout is through Buy Me a Coffee. Usually within a minute, you get an email with a one-time link to your licence, never the key itself: open it in Chrome and click Add it to Chrome. A full refund within 30 days of purchase, for any reason related to the product.
After paying. Usually within a minute, you get an email with a one-time link to your licence, never the key itself. Open it in Chrome, click Add it to Chrome, and the extension adds your licence: there is no key to copy. The link works once, for 72 hours; if it runs out, open it anyway and ask for a new one, which goes to the same address. A school licence's link goes to whoever bought it, who sets it up for every teacher through the Nyuchi console and Chrome policy. Once added, your licence is checked on your own machine, so it works offline, and it follows your Chrome account to your laptop and your classroom desktop; Chrome's sync carries it, and it is never sent to us. While a licence is in use, the extension checks at most once a day for cancelled keys, sending nothing about you.
Upgrading. Already have an individual licence? Bring your whole school in. The extension's licence page shows individual licence holders the upgrade, with the code BXXF20VA, which takes US$7 off the organisation licence (it works on that licence only). Your school's IT then sets the school's licence through Chrome policy, and on a managed browser it is used in place of yours.
Refunds. A full refund within 30 days of purchase, for any reason related to the product. Ask by emailing support@nyuchi.com from the address you bought with, or through Buy Me a Coffee. A refunded licence key is cancelled, and stops working after the extension's next daily check for cancelled keys.
For whoever has to sign this off
The data schema. Every piece of Toddle data the extension reads, every value it stores and every request it makes is listed, field by field, in its data schema, written for a school's data protection lead or IT team. It is checked against the code on every change: a query the code allows that the schema does not describe fails the build. Ask us for a copy.
Runs only on Toddle
It has no access to any other website.
Reads, never writes
Every request is a read. Writes are blocked outright.
No tracking
No account, no analytics and no remote code.
Licence checked locally
Activating a key contacts nothing and works offline.
Worth knowing
It rides on Toddle, so the honest answers include what happens when Toddle changes.
Toddle does not publish an API for this, so the extension reads the same internal interface the Toddle web app uses, reverse-engineered from the app's own requests. That works well and costs one request per assessment rather than one per student, but it also means a Toddle release can break it, usually by renaming something.
Each feature checks, in your own Toddle tab, that it still finds what it needs. When Toddle has changed something, the licence page's Toddle compatibility card says which feature is affected, and that feature pauses cleanly rather than breaking your gradebook. Send us the report from that card, in one click, and we will chase the change; it says what changed in Toddle's page, masked, and carries no student data.
Fixes are made and tested as small test builds with schools piloting the extension, which do not go to the Chrome Web Store. When a batch of them is ready, it is published to the store as the next version, and Chrome installs it on its own. What changed in each version.
Only the code in your licence email's one-time link, once, to get your key. A key is then checked on your own machine, so it works offline, and one key covers your laptop and your classroom desktop; a key you paste contacts nothing at all. Your licence key also follows your own Chrome account to your other computers, through Chrome's sync; it is never sent to Nyuchi. While there is a licence, the extension checks at most once a day for cancelled keys, sending nothing about you.
Yes. A Chrome extension is a folder of readable JavaScript: they can unpack the installed package and read every line of it. Reading it to check what it does is welcome; the code is ours, and is not licensed for reuse elsewhere (see who owns the extension). We will also answer specific questions at support@nyuchi.com.
Chrome and Chromium browsers, from the Chrome Web Store, and Firefox, from Firefox Add-ons. There is no download, no .zip and no Developer mode.
A full refund within 30 days of purchase, for any reason related to the product. Ask by emailing support@nyuchi.com from the address you bought with, or through Buy Me a Coffee. A refunded licence key is cancelled, and stops working after the extension's next daily check for cancelled keys.
It is free to install and the flag switch is free for good. A licence adds the columns, the export and the sidebar, for a teacher or a whole school.
