A teacher's extra pair of hands.
The only AI ed-tech that fits into how you already teach. Real AI power, zero 'prompt engineering' hassle. So your time stays protected, while you get more done.
No card needed - your first 5 classes are free.
What Downtime unlocks
The teaching you would do if you had the time. None of it adds to your workload.
Every Student Works At Their Level
Differentiating for a whole class by hand is not realistic, so it mostly does not happen. Downtime does it: each student can get practice at their level, and you decide how far it pushes.
Higher-Order Thinking Questions
Most auto-made questions just test memory. These make students reason: compare things, follow cause and effect, catch the mistake. That is the HOTS your exams ask for, and the hardest part to write yourself.
The Lesson Looks Like The Subject
Teach the ocean and the class is inside a reef. It is not for show. Being inside the subject is what makes it stick, and it stays that way the whole lesson.
No Prep, No Marking
All of it builds from your live lesson while you teach. Nothing to prepare tonight, nothing to grade at 11pm. Honestly, this is the part most teachers sign up for.
Launch A Game Mid-Lesson
When the energy drops, start a game built from what you just taught. It works because it is their actual lesson, not a generic quiz.
It All Works On Paper Too
Every lesson also prints: a blank student copy and a teacher copy with the answers. For the room with no devices, or the day the wifi is down. Everyone still takes part.
What you don't have to do
The busywork other tools quietly hand back to you. You do none of it.
No Prompting
No prompt engineering, no rewording the same request five times to get something usable. You teach the lesson. That is the whole input.
No Hallucinations
AI will confidently make things up, and a made-up fact has no place in a classroom. Downtime builds only from what you actually taught, so there is nothing to fact-check.
No Uploading Files
No PDF, no slides, no spreadsheet, no document to export and upload first. You teach the lesson and it is already there.
No Reviewing Every Question
Making questions is easy now. Checking that all forty are correct and actually fit your class is the part that still eats your evening. These come straight from your lesson, so there is nothing to sit and audit.
No Changing How You Teach
No new method to learn, no script to follow. Teach exactly the way you do now. It works around your lesson, not the other way round.
No Accounts To Set Up
No student logins to create, reset, or chase. Students join with a first name and a link. Nothing to manage, and nothing about them is stored.
All it asks of you is the lesson you were already going to give.
Press one thing. Teach like always. The rest fills in as you go.
Press Start
In the room, or paste your Zoom, Meet, or Teams link if class is online. Then the phone goes in your pocket - from here it's just a microphone.
Teach As Usual
Skippy listens and works only from what you actually say, never a pre-made list. Nothing for students to install, nothing to sign in to.
It Builds Live
While you talk, the room turns into your subject. Notes, a mind map, practice, and games all build with it. Launch any of them mid-lesson - yours to keep after the lesson.
It really is that simple.
Try it freeChoose, or be displaced.
Schools are going to adopt AI tools. That part is settled. What is not settled is what those tools do to the teacher.
It replaces you
The tool takes over the lesson. Students stare at an app all day. You get demoted to a ‘guide’ who keeps the room quiet while the software does the teaching.
It empowers you
The tool builds around your lesson, not instead of it. Students get pulled into the subject, not into a screen. You teach, and your name is on all of it.
We built Downtime for the second one. This is where teaching is going. Make the right choice.
Start free
First 5 classes free. No card.
This is not fear-mongering. It is already underway, and from what we see up close, it only grows if teachers let it.
It'll feel oddly familiar.
You used folders and a web browser to get here. That is all it takes - everything works the way you already expect, it just does far more.
Screenshot
The session page - folder tabs across the top, one click to notes, games, printables, or tools.
Tabs, Like Your Folders
Everything sits behind tabs - the same folders you already use, only smarter.
Screenshot
A clean home screen - your classes and materials, with nothing cluttered.
A Dashboard Kept Simple
One clear screen. What you need is where you would expect it, nothing buried.
Just Right
Not so simplified it frustrates you, not so complicated you cannot find what you need. Feels like Goldilocks.
It Is Only A Web Page
No app to install, for you or your students. If you can open a browser, you can run the whole thing.
Works On Any Screen
Phone, tablet, or laptop - the same for you and your students.
The most beautiful, easy-to-use, and fun ed-tech app you have ever had to deal with. (Probably.)
It doesn't look like an app. It looks like the subject.
Every lesson turns into its own world, with art drawn fresh for that class - so students feel like they are inside the subject, which is what makes it stick. Swipe through a few subjects to see how different each one feels.

Each world is a full set - a background, a dozen characters, vehicles, cards, tower blocks, and props, every piece unique to the lesson.
Built While You Teach
Live, from what you actually say, and it costs you nothing to make.
Yours To Keep After Class
Students step back into the same world's games and practice at home, in their free time.
Fits The Age You Teach
Playful and simple for the youngest, more grown-up for senior classes.
Classroom-Safe By Default
Modest, respectful on sensitive topics, and famous characters turned into look-alikes.
Every student works at their own level.
The room stays one class. Underneath, each student can get the work that fits them - always your choice, never automatic.
Their Level, Your Choice
The same set for the whole class, a mix, or a version for each student. Points or not. You decide. What used to mean a lot of extra prep is now one toggle.
A Map For Each Student
For each student, it builds a map of what they know well and what they are still missing - so you can see where everyone is, any time.
A Clear View Of The Whole Room
You see what the class understood and what they missed. The games the class plays mark themselves. Yours to read - never a label on a student, never a push to act. You're the teacher.
Notes, sorted the way you would sort them.
As you teach, your words are filed into clear sections like objectives, key facts, and common mistakes - so you and your students can jump straight to the part you need, instead of scrolling one long wall of text.
Notes - Photosynthesis
Real screenshot
The notes page, with each type in its own labelled section instead of one long list.
Objectives
What the lesson aimed to teach.
Key facts
The points worth remembering.
Definitions
Every term, explained simply.
Sequences
Steps and processes, in order.
Cause and effect
What leads to what, and why.
Comparisons
How two things are alike and different.
Formulas
Kept in their proper form.
Common mistakes
The errors students often make.
Not just notes. A whole set of study aids.
The same lesson also becomes a map, labelled diagrams, side-by-side comparisons, practice sets, and a searchable record - so every student has a way to revise that suits them, and you did not build any of it.
Screenshot
The lesson as one map - the topic in the middle, ideas branching off, ready to pan and zoom.
A Big Picture Map
The whole lesson as one map you can pan, zoom, and click - or switch to a plain list.
Screenshot
A labelled diagram of a sequence or a cycle, drawn from what you taught.
Labelled Diagrams
Sequences, cycles, and cause and effect drawn as pictures, not just written.
Screenshot
Two things side by side, with what each one has and what they share.
Side-By-Side Comparisons
When your lesson weighs two things against each other, they are laid out side by side so the differences stand out.
Practice Sets
Questions, fill-in-the-blanks, true-or-false, put-in-order, and more.
A Searchable Lesson Record
The transcript, your important quotes, and the lesson objectives - all searchable.
Not just games. Three modes, from warm-up to check-in.
You pick what the room needs - each mode built for one job, not one game stretched across all of them.
Tools
Run the room.
A 40-piece belt - timers, name pickers, group makers, noise meters, and more. Reach for any of them at any point in class, for any reason.
Games
Energize the room.
Built from your lesson, with real mechanics - power-ups, sabotages, upgrades, racing, cards. Start one when the energy dips and it gets the class focused again.
Activities
See what they remember.
Content, not mechanics. Plain practice that shows you what they learned and what they missed - the assessment side, without turning it into a game.

Useful tools at your fingertips.
The little things that keep a class moving - timing, picking names, grouping, keeping the noise down - all in one place, so you never stop to open another app. And because they follow your live lesson, each one already fits what you are teaching.
Timers For Any Activity
Timers, a stopwatch, and countdowns keep any activity on time - a quick warm-up or a full test.
Pick Fairly
A random name picker, dice, and a raffle choose who answers, so the choice feels fair to everyone.
Group In Seconds
Team and group makers split the class any way you need, right away.
Keep The Noise Down
A noise meter and traffic light hold the volume and pace during group work, no shouting.
Reward Good Answers
Praise pops and a mystery box celebrate a good answer the second it happens.
Little Extras, Handled
Glossary spotlights and the other small jobs get handled, so you stay with the class.
The full belt
Teach in your language, or a mix of both.
Notes, questions, and read-aloud all come out in the language you taught - Bahasa Malaysia, English, or a mix - so the tool is never the reason a student cannot follow along.
Practice - Photosynthesis
Real screenshot
The same practice question shown in your lesson's language, with a tap-to-read-aloud button and the language it is set to.
It Follows Your Lesson
Notes, answer options, and definitions come out in the language you taught. Subject terms and formulas stay the same.
Made For Multilingual Classes
Switch between Bahasa Malaysia and English mid-sentence - the rojak most classrooms actually speak. The finished materials still come out in one clear language.
Pin It, Or Let It Detect
Set the language at the start, or leave it blank and it picks up the language from the words you use.
Read Aloud In A Matching Voice
Students tap to hear a question in a voice that fits the language, Malay included.
Every lesson, ready to print.
One click turns the class into a booklet - a Student Copy to hand out and a Teacher Copy with the answers already filled in - so you have a worksheet and its answer key in seconds, even on the days screens are not an option.
Printable booklet
Real screenshot
The Student Copy and Teacher Copy side by side - blank answer lines for students, answers filled in and an answer-key badge for you, with themed cover art from the lesson.
Student Copy And Teacher Copy
One click makes both - blanks for students, answers filled in for you, with an answer-key badge on the teacher pages.
Choose What Goes In
Practice, notes, and extras, each with a count. Tick what you want in the booklet.
Paper That Links Back Online
Each page can show a QR code to the online version, the class space, a game, the notes, or the map.
Mind Map And Label-The-Diagram
A one-page map of the lesson, plus diagram sheets with blank labels for students and answers for you.
Colouring Pages And One Art Sheet
Clean colouring pages for young learners, and one sheet of all the art drawn for the lesson - every character, scene, and prop.
For A Class With No Devices
The whole lesson on paper for a no-device room or a no-wifi day. Everyone still takes part.
See how the class actually went.
The moment class ends, you get a clear summary of the lesson - who understood, what the room missed, and the reports already written for you.
Lesson report
Real screenshot
The after-class report - how much of the class understood, a concept-by-concept breakdown, and the ready-made parent and leadership reports.
A Profile Of Each Student
For every student, it builds a map of what they know well and what they do not. Numbers for you to read, never a judgment.
It Updates Live
The class summary updates mid-lesson, so you can revisit anything before class ends.
What The Class Got Stuck On
It notes where the class got confused, what you re-explained, and the questions students asked.
Every question, checked - and yours to change.
Quiet checks run on every one, and each item is tagged with where it came from and how hard it is - so you can trust it, review it, and add to it.
Turn On Fact Check
Switch it on and it checks your lesson and marks likely mistakes - a wrong date, number, or name - as review cards to accept or dismiss.
No Unfair Questions
It removes options that could also be right, checks the true-or-false ones, and removes fill-in questions with more than one right answer.
Only What You Taught
It builds from what you actually said, ignores the jokes and side comments, and never invents facts.
See Where Each Item Came From
Every question links to the point in your lesson it came from, so nothing is a mystery.
Tagged By Difficulty
Each item is labelled easy to hard, so you can see the mix quickly and adjust it.
Add To Any Set, Anytime
Reword a set into new versions whenever you want more, without starting over.
Ignores Off-Topic Chatter
It filters out off-topic chatter and trick words from the room, so they do not shape the materials it makes or the questions it asks.
Built to just work.
You teach. Downtime quietly handles the things that used to go wrong - and plenty more you will never notice.
It Fixes Its Own Mistakes
If a game or a graphic comes out wrong, it rebuilds it right away. You get the working version, not the broken one.
Playable Even Early In Class
Launch a game before you have covered much and it fills the gaps, so there is always something to run.
Sixty Students, Handled
For a live game, it splits a big class into separate game rooms on its own, so everyone gets a turn.
Your Old Lessons Never Change
When Downtime improves, the sessions you already made are never rebuilt, changed, or charged for again.
Good for the whole classroom, and the whole school.
One tool that works for the people in the room and the people responsible for them.

Parent and leadership reports, written for you
No student ever came to class for an app. They came for you.
Skippy never takes the front of the room.
It lives on a screen, not at the whiteboard. It listens while you teach and builds the materials around your lesson. It never runs the class. You do.
It does not plan your lesson or decide how you teach.
It works from the lesson you give. It does not write the plan or run the room. The teaching stays yours.
All it gives you back is your time and your evenings.
Those evenings you were about to lose to worksheets? That is the downtime we are named for.
One plan. Everything included.
No tiers to compare, nothing held back. Your first 5 classes are free - no card needed.
