What Gradefully is

Gradefully is a browser-based gradebook and markbook for Ontario teachers in Grades 1–12. Teachers can record marks as levels, percentages, points, or letters, then organize them with custom categories and weights. It calculates averages and medians and displays histograms and colour-coded statuses to help identify students at risk. Teachers can also produce printable reports and use a what-if mode, journal, name picker, group maker, seating plans, and timer. The app drafts report-card comments from grades and notes using Growing Success language; teachers review and edit drafts, and comment generation works in French and English. Gradebook data and backups are encrypted and stored on Azure servers in Canada, while comment drafting runs through OpenAI in the United States. Student names are replaced with codes before AI requests, and other students’ names, emails, and phone numbers are removed. The maker says data is not used to train AI models. Gradefully is designed around MFIPPA and PIPEDA principles but is not formally certified, for example under SOC 2. It costs C$10 a month, C$45 a year, or 299.00 CAD once, with a 60-day trial.
