Everything Skylight does, feature by feature

Skylight reads your Plano ISD Skyward (Qmlativ) account and rebuilds it as something quick to check and safe to keep on your phone.

The gradebook

Live grades, recalculated rather than repeated

Skylight does not just reprint the number Skyward shows. It reads your assignments and their category weights and works the grade out, which is what makes the what-if calculator possible at all.

  • Every class with its period number, so the list reads in the order your day happens.
  • 9 Weeks 1 and 9 Weeks 2 side by side, plus the semester exam and the semester grade.
  • Assignments grouped by category, with the weight each category carries.
  • Grade over time, derived by replaying your assignments in order.
AP Calculus BC · Period 1
Major grades 50% of grade 94.0
Minor grades 30% of grade 90.7
Daily work 20% of grade 87.5
What-if

Change any score, add an assignment that doesn't exist yet, or delete one. The grade recalculates against the real category weights.

To finish 9 Weeks 2 at 93, you need 96.5 on the next major grade
What-if

Two questions, answered in your browser

“What happens to my grade if I get this?” and “what do I need on the next one?” Both are arithmetic on data your browser already has, so neither one is ever sent to a server.

What do I need?

You need 96.3% — 96.3 out of 100 points.

Every number on this page was worked out in your browser. The real what-if calculator works the same way: nothing you type is sent anywhere.

GPA

GPA and academic history

  • Ranked, cumulative and unweighted GPA.
  • Academic history: the courses and marks behind those numbers.
  • Figures are calculated from configured rules — estimates, not an official transcript or official rank.

GPA rules differ by district, by year and by course. Skylight computes yours from rules it has been configured with, which is enough to plan with and not enough to argue with. Anything official comes from your counsellor.

Notifications

New grades, as one readable line

Skylight compares what it just loaded with what it saw last time and describes the difference in a sentence: “100 on new test · Ovr 90 → 92”.

  • An activity feed of every change it has seen
  • Desktop notifications while a tab is open
  • Web Push to your phone with the app closed
  • Installable to your home screen — no app store app needed
  • Background checks every 15 minutes, only if you opt in
And the rest

The smaller things you notice on day two

Attendance & schedule

Your attendance record and your class schedule, in the same app as the grades they belong to.

Light and dark

Follows your operating system by default, and you can pin it either way. The whole interface is neutral gray so colour can mean one thing only: how a grade is doing.

AI overview (opt-in)

If you ask for it, an automatic summary of how things are going. It is sent only your course names and grades — no name, no login, nothing else — runs on Cloudflare Workers AI, and nothing about it is stored.

Guest mode

No account at all. Sign in with your Skyward login, read your grades, close the tab. Nothing is saved on the server.

Ready to see your own grades?

Sign in with your Skyward login, or try guest mode, which stores nothing on the server.
