Today
The view that answers the only question worth asking between two classes.
- Current or next class, with its room and its teacher
- Countdown and progress bar on the class in progress
- Tempo session link, only when the portal marks it visible
Your Aimaira portal, finally readable.
A local client that reads your student intranet: the class you are in, its room, the week, grades and absences. It talks to the portal you type in and to nothing else — there is no BetterAimaira server in between.
Free, open source, GPL-3.0
Unofficial client, unaffiliated with the Aimaira vendor or with your school.
Built for a day of classes
Your current class, the moment you open it
The app opens directly on your current or next class: its room, its teacher, how long is left. Nothing to look for.
Your whole week, on any screen
The same seven-day schedule, as a grid on a wide screen or a list on your phone. No information is hidden to save space.
Never a blank screen, even offline
The app shows what it already knows first, then checks for anything new behind it. You always see when it was last updated.
Schedule
The same week as the portal, at the density your window allows.
- Week grid as soon as the width permits
- Day picker and detailed list on a narrow screen
- The portal’s own schedule settings honoured, Sundays included
Grades and absences
The values exactly as the portal returns them, never inferred from a translated sentence.
- Grades and assessments with their scale and weight
- Absences and lateness, with the reason when there is one
- Documents and questionnaires, read-only
Your credentials never leave your device.
Not an intention — the way the app is built. The Rust core is the only part that talks to the portal, and it has nobody else to call.
- No cloud relay
- Requests go straight to the portal whose address you entered. There is no server in the middle, so there is nothing in the middle to leak.
- System keychain
- If you choose to save your password it goes to Windows Credential Manager, the macOS Keychain, the Android Keystore or the Linux Secret Service. Never in plaintext in a file.
- HTTPS only
- An HTTP portal is refused before a single credential is sent. Whatever page you paste is reduced to its HTTPS origin first.
- Read-only
- This version cannot write anything to the portal. No administrative procedures, no billing, no submitted answers.
- Usage counting, if you agree to it
- On first launch the app asks whether it may count its own usage. With no identifier: each launch sends a number drawn at random and never saved, so two openings cannot be tied to the same person. Declining sends nothing, not even the refusal. This site asks for its cookie instead: decline it and your visit is still counted without one, and the only thing kept on your device is your refusal.
We do not know your password.

Questions
Will it work with my school?
Development currently targets one reference Aimaira instance. You paste your own portal address on first launch, and any page of that portal will do: it is reduced to its HTTPS origin before connecting. Compatibility with other instances will be assessed once the reference instance is validated.
Where does my password go?
Nowhere, unless you ask to save it. If you do, it goes to your operating system’s secure store, never to a config file or the local database. Session cookies stay on the Rust side and are not exposed to the interface.
Can I change anything from the app?
No. This version is strictly read-only. Administrative procedures, billing and any remote write are out of scope.
Why does Windows get an installer and macOS does not?
Because the release pipeline currently builds the Windows installer, the Android APK and the iOS IPA. macOS and Linux build locally with bun run desktop:build, and then read exactly the same update feed.
Does it work offline?
Yes, on data already synced. Every view paints its cache immediately and states its condition explicitly: loading, empty, stale, offline, session expired or failed. A sync that fails says so rather than passing stale data off as fresh.
Is this official?
No. BetterAimaira is an unofficial client with no connection to the Aimaira vendor or to your school. The code is open and auditable.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The project is released under GPL-3.0, with no account to create and no ads. No advertising trackers either: this site asks for its measurement cookie and counts your visit without one if you decline it, and the app only counts its own usage if you agree to it on first launch — with no identifier, and never your school data.
I found a bug.
Open an issue on the repository with your platform, the version shown in the app, and what you were doing. The error codes the interface displays are stable and help a lot.
This is not a stable release yet.
BetterAimaira is in prerelease. The main views — sign-in, schedule, grades, absences — work against the reference instance, and the rest is moving. Install it now and you will hit rough edges; an issue beats giving up.
