The record

Purpose: Shinnpad provides lesson management for independent music teachers, including scheduling, rosters, payments, a parent portal, and bookkeeping and tax tools.
Calendar scheduling: Teachers can set rotating A/B or red/green campus days, which Shinnpad shifts around holidays, breaks, and days off.
Payments: Studio Pro supports online card payments and autopay through Stripe, with payments going to the teacher’s connected Stripe account and bank.
Free-plan limit: The free Studio plan supports up to 10 students and includes manual payment tracking, a read-only parent portal, a public studio site, and manual bookkeeping tools.
Bookkeeping: The product tracks mileage, expenses, and income and can produce a year-end Schedule C summary, but it does not file taxes or provide tax, accounting, or legal advice.
Integrations: The privacy policy lists Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Resend, Photon, OSRM, Open-Meteo, and Nager.Date as service providers or APIs used to operate the service.
Data security: The maker says studio data is isolated and protected at the database level on managed, backed-up infrastructure, and that a dedicated cybersecurity team scanned the app for vulnerabilities.
Privacy: The privacy policy says Shinnpad does not sell personal or studio data, does not use third-party advertising, and stores and processes data in the United States.
Parent portal limit: A parent portal link gives anyone who has it access to that family’s read-only summary of upcoming lessons and balance; the teacher can rotate the link.
Data export: Users can export students, families, and payments to a spreadsheet at any time.
Support: Support is available through in-app Settings or by email; typical replies take 2–3 business days, while Studio Max includes priority support with a one-business-day reply aim.
Intended users: The maker describes Shinnpad as built for independent music teachers and says Studio Admin serves music directors, non-profits, and organizers running multiple studios.
Company: The privacy policy identifies Hollon Productions LLC as the company behind Shinnpad.
Tax report limitation: Shinnpad prepares a Schedule C summary for a CPA to use but does not file anything on the user’s behalf.
