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 as Sheets in your company's own Google Drive. No servers. No subscription. No lock-in.
What it does
A real LMS, sized for the team that actually runs it.
Feather is built for the one-to-three person L&D or enablement team at a company of up to about 150 people: everything you need to run structured training, and nothing designed for a procurement committee.
For IT - the safe-to-approve brief
Your data never leaves your Workspace. Ours never touches it.
Feather installs from the Google Workspace Marketplace and runs inside your Google environment under each signed-in user's own permissions. All application data - people, paths, assignments, progress, results - is stored as Google Sheets in your company's Drive. Geddes Labs operates no servers and holds no copy of anything.
| 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 ordinary Google Sheets in your Drive. Uninstall Feather and you keep all of it, readable, forever.
There is no Feather cloud to compromise. The vendor-risk review is the Marketplace listing itself.
The privacy policy covers every permission above, including Google's Limited Use requirements.
