The Story Behind Umbar
The idea behind Umbar came from home. My wife teaches both online and in-person classes, and I'd watch her juggle attendance in one app, schedules in a spreadsheet, fees in a notebook, and parent communication across WhatsApp groups. She tried several tools, but nothing brought it all together.
It starts with a marketplaceβstudents browse classes, view instructor profiles, and request trials without needing an account. After enrollment, both sides get the tools for daily class life: schedules, attendance, records, payments, announcements with acknowledgements, and direct messaging.
Every feature exists because someone needed it in real life. It's built with care and a deep understanding of what instructors and students actually go through.
