A learning management system for small teams
The featherweight LMS that lives in your Google Workspace.
Courses, learning paths, 30/60/90 onboarding, assignments, and reporting - stored entirely within Google Sheets files in your company's own Google Drive. No servers. No subscription. No lock-in.
What it does
A real LMS, just without the typical hassle of user licenses and monthly subscription costs.
Feather is built for a one-to-three person L&D or enablement team at a company of up to 150 people, though it is capable of scaling well beyond these numbers.
For IT - the safe-to-approve brief
Your data never leaves your Workspace. We never see it, or store it, and have no access to it.
Feather installs from the Google Workspace Marketplace and runs inside your Google environment. All application data - people, paths, assignments, progress, results - is stored within Google Sheets files in your company's Drive. Geddes Labs operates no servers and never retains a copy of any of your content.
| Permission requested | What Feather uses it for |
|---|---|
| drive.file | Create and access only the files Feather itself creates in your Drive (the tenant workbook and course workbooks). Feather cannot see the rest of your Drive. |
| spreadsheets | Read and write those workbooks - they are the entire database. |
| gmail.send | Send assignment notifications and due-date reminders from the assigning admin's own address. Feather never reads mail. |
| script.external_request | Only the optional AI authoring assistant, calling the AI provider you choose with your own API key. Off unless you use it. |
| script.scriptapp | Install and remove the optional nightly job (report snapshots and reminders) that an admin turns on from the admin page. |
| openid, email | Standard sign-in, to identify users and enforce roles. |
Everything is stored in ordinary Google Sheets files in your Google Drive. Uninstall Feather and you keep all of it, readable, forever.
There is no Feather cloud to compromise. We operate no servers - once you install the app to your Workspace, its yours, just like your data.
The privacy policy covers every permission above, including Google's Limited Use requirements.
Pricing
Pay once. Own it.
Subscription pricing exists because traditional LMS vendors host your data - and want a bigger slice of your budget as you add more licenses for additional learners. Feather LMS doesn't host your data - you do. And anyone in your organization with a Google account can use Feather LMS - there's no user licensing whatsoever. Feather LMS grows with your organization, no matter how many learners, managers, or editors you add to the mix. No subscription, no renewal - just a single one-time purchase.
