Help your studentsdo CAS,not chase it.

CAS Finder is a free app that helps IB Diploma students find activities near home, keep notes as they go, and write reflections in their own words. Then they log everything in ManageBac themselves.

Three problems you'll recognise.

“I don't know what to do.”

Students struggle to find activities near home, Service most of all, so CAS starts late.

Nothing written down.

By the time a reflection is due, the details of each session are gone.

Last-minute reflections.

Written the night before, or by a chatbot, and they read that way.

Where it helps. Where it stops.

CAS Finder follows the route your students already know, from finding an experience to logging it. It never does the work for them.

It does

Find places near homeChecked places, places worth asking about, and ideas to start, by strand. Service missions also come from the French government's volunteering listings (API Engagement), marked as public listings and not checked by us.
Keep quick notesA few lines after each session, private to the student.
Coach reflectionsShort questions turn the student's own answers into a reflection, linked to the seven learning outcomes, with the reason for each.
Plan the CAS projectA project tracker and a map of every experience, showing which reflections are done.
Get it into ManageBacManageBac's New Experience form, field by field, ready to copy. Advisors are notified by ManageBac as usual.

It won't

Replace ManageBacStudents log experiences there themselves. CAS Finder has no access to your school's ManageBac.
Write reflections for studentsThere's no AI. The coach asks questions and puts the student's own answers together.
Ask anything of the schoolNo accounts, no student lists, no data from you.
Contact anyone for studentsMessages to supervisors are prepared in the app and sent by the student.

What your students see.

The coach asks; the student answers. Before anything goes into ManageBac, a short checklist shows what the reflection covers, and the app offers to say an app was used.

The coach quoting a student's own note back, the student's answers, and the third of three quick questions: what will you do next time? — **Questions about their own notes**The coach quotes what the student wrote after each session and asks three short questions, or six for a bigger experience. Every sentence in the reflection is theirs.

The coach quoting a student's own note, “Worked on footwork for the whole session”, and asking what they know about themselves now. — **Questions about their own notes**The coach quotes what the student wrote after each session and asks three short questions, or six for a bigger experience. Every sentence in the reflection is theirs.

A finished reflection: the learning outcomes it shows and why, a checklist before pasting, and a switch to add a note that an app was used. — **Honest about the help**Each learning outcome comes with the student's words that show it. A switch adds a line saying they used a reflection app, in the spirit of the IB's academic integrity policy.

Ready to paste: says what you did, says what you learned, linked to a learning outcome. — **Honest about the help**Each learning outcome comes with the student's words that show it. A switch adds a line saying they used a reflection app, in the spirit of the IB's academic integrity policy.

A student's CAS network in CAS Finder, a made-up student: each experience is a station on its strand's line, filled once its reflection is done, with planned experiences dotted. — **Their CAS network**Every experience is a station, filled once its reflection is done. Only on the student's phone or laptop. There's no teacher dashboard.

Built for students aged 15 to 18.

CAS Finder keeps as little about students as it can, and nothing they write is shared.

Students aged 15 and over.The age is asked before anything else.
Notes and reflections are private.No school staff or other students can read them. There's no tracking dashboard: ManageBac already does that.
No home address on our servers.The exact point stays on the student's device; only a rough area is kept, to find places nearby.
Nothing goes to an AI.The coach is a scripted set of questions.
Stored in the EU, deleted on request.Accounts and notes are stored in the EU. One button in Settings removes a student's account and everything in it. Read the privacy policy.

“This is really amazing. It's actually enjoyable to log my CAS.”
