Teacher is overwhelmed by students demanding extra paper copies of assignments, especially at due dates, and lacks a low-effort system to provide replacements without managing excess paper.

Digital assignment distribution via LMS requires upfront digitization and assumes students can print, which may not be feasible; physical binder system relies on students keeping papers and doesn't handle lost or missing copies efficiently.

It integrates with existing LMS and school printers, tracks usage, and reduces lost paper load by providing automated reminders and organized digital filing.

Automatic due date reminders and 'missing assignment' notifications to students
Digital binder mirroring physical organization with Post-it style annotations
Analytics on which students frequently need extra copies to identify organizational issues

Target Users: Middle and high school teachers who distribute paper assignments and struggle with lost copies and extra copy requests; also useful for schools with 1:1 device programs.

Revenue Model: $5/month per teacher subscription or school-wide license at $2/student/year; freemium with basic upload and request features.
