Students tap out when they leave.

No lines.

No daily enforcement.

Unplugged: Not a Ban, but a Better Way

Unplugged makes it simple to maintain focus in the classroom while supporting students’ responsible device habits. By giving schools a tool to manage devices instead of banning them, students learn balance, and educators regain control over learning environments.

No More Distraction - No More Collection

Keep Learning Focused Without Taking Phones Away

How Unplugged Works Smart Rules, Automatically Enforced

After a one-time enrollment, Unplugged automatically applies the right settings when devices connect to the school network. Policies are triggered based on location, time, or class schedules. For example, when students enter the classroom, distracting apps are paused. During exams, devices switch to a secure mode with only the necessary tools available. And after school, full access is restored so students can stay connected with family and friends.
