SynDesk is the first live tool on Make, from KC Studio. It builds classroom seating charts in seconds, and it’s free.
Draw your room once, add your students, and SynDesk does the balancing: students with accommodations are seated first, peer supports stay close, and pairs that shouldn’t sit together are kept apart. Every seat comes with a plain-English reason, so you can see why the chart looks the way it does. Then drag to swap, lock the seats you want fixed, and print.
Your roster never leaves your device
There’s no account and no server. Everything you enter is saved in your browser on your own computer and nowhere else, so there’s nothing to sign up for and no student data to hand to anyone. To move to another computer or keep a copy safe, download a backup file from the dashboard and open it on the other device.
What’s in the first release
- A room builder for rows or table groups, with the door, windows, whiteboard and your desk.
- Student lists you can type in or paste from a spreadsheet, with accommodations, peer supports and avoid-pairing rules.
- A seating generator that explains every placement.
- Drag-and-drop adjustments and locked seats.
- Backups, CSV export, and offline use once it’s loaded.
- A sample class, so you can try it before typing a single name.
Open SynDesk and try the sample class.
