Features

More than a seating chart generator.

SweetSeat is built around the constraints teachers already juggle when they make a seating plan.

Design your actual room

Build classroom layouts using multiple desk shapes, rotation, snapping, grouping and room annotations. The optimiser works with the seats you create rather than forcing the room into fixed rows.

  • Square, trapezoid and semicircle desk types
  • Desk rotation, duplication and grouping
  • Room text boxes and resizable images
  • Door placement and front/back orientation
  • Fit room and responsive canvas handling

Add a class quickly

Type students directly, paste a class list or use spreadsheet workflows. Student information can then flow into the needs and seating screens.

  • Bulk student entry
  • CSV/XLSX-style workflows supported by the app
  • Student rename tools
  • Sorting by first name, last name or gender

Set student needs without losing the big picture

Use placement settings and relationship matrices to capture considerations that can be difficult to balance simultaneously.

  • Front/front, front, back and back/back placement
  • Behavioural spreading
  • Near-door and learning-support flags
  • Working groups
  • Next-to and do-not-place-together preferences
  • Strong teacher preferences shown separately

Try Me uses only synthetic students. It mirrors the SweetSeat screens and interactions, with stage-boundary resets that prevent temporary room or Student Needs edits from being carried into the fictional Best Fit preset.
