Use Rhythm for activities that repeat, such as math every weekday or a weekly nature walk. With HomeTrail Plus, you can add a different title, instructions, and link for a particular date on the website without changing the repeating activity.
Set up the repeating activity
Add the activity in Your Rhythm, choose its students and weekdays, and set its start and end dates as needed. It then appears on the matching dates in Day and the Planner.
See Add, Update, and Schedule Rhythm Items for setup steps.
Plan the details for a date with Plus
- Open Day, or switch the Planner to week or month view on the website.
- Find the activity on the date you want to plan and select its pencil (Plan day). In week and month view, the pencil sits beside the activity.
- Add any of Title for this day, Notes or instructions, and Link for this day. For example, keep “Riverbend Math” as the repeating activity and give Monday the title “Fractions practice,” with that day's instructions and lesson link.
- Select Save plan.
The day title appears underneath the repeating activity. Day also shows a short instructions preview; the Planner keeps the card compact. Use the pencil to edit the plan. If you saved a link, select the day title to open it, or Open link if you did not add a title.
These details apply only to the selected date and are shared by the students assigned to that activity. They do not rename the repeating activity or change its weekday schedule. Links and instructions are saved with your family's plan; adding a link does not import its contents.
Saving a plan does not mark the activity complete. When the learning is done, use its usual completion checkbox. Unchecking completion keeps the saved title, instructions, and link. Closing the form without saving does not add a plan.
Creating and editing these dated details requires Plus. If your subscription ends, saved details remain visible, and opening the editor shows them with a Plus prompt.
Use Plan day in the parent app
In parent-app versions that include Plan day, open Day or choose a date in the Planner calendar, then expand From your Rhythm if needed. Select Plan day, enter a Day title, Instructions, or Link, and select Save plan. The pencil opens saved details; the external-link icon opens the lesson link. The app Planner shows the selected day's activities underneath its calendar; week and month activity lists and Copy Week are website controls.
If your installed app does not show Plan day, use the website. Availability depends on the installed app version; updating the website does not update the app on your phone.
Copy a week of one-time plans
For separate, dated activities, Copy Week lets you reuse a week in the Planner:
- Open the Planner in week view on the website and navigate to a week with planned activities.
- Open Actions → Copy Week.
- Choose the destination week, select Copy, and review the copied activities.
- Adjust the plans to fit your family's week.
Use Rhythm to manage a repeating schedule. Use Copy Week when you want to reuse one-time planned activities from another week.
Watch: Copying a Week in HomeTrail. The older walkthrough shows the copying flow; the current Copy Week control is in Actions.
