Built For Schools,
Designed For Focus
Unplugged is designed to give schools a simple, effective way to manage student devices without taking them away. From automated policies to detailed reporting, every feature is built with teachers, IT teams, students, and parents in mind. Here’s what makes Unplugged a complete solution for school device management.
Automatic Policy Modes
Unplugged automates device behavior based on location, schedule, or event. This means less manual work for teachers and IT staff, and more consistent enforcement of school policies. Automatic modes help schools manage devices efficiently without disrupting the learning experience or requiring constant monitoring.
Blocks distracting apps and websites while students are at school. Ensures learning time stays productive.
Returns devices to normal use after school, allowing students to connect with family, friends, or homework apps.
Locks devices into a secure environment for tests or assessments. Only approved apps are accessible, and devices automatically return to normal afterward.
Secure Device Enrollment
Get devices ready for learning with a streamlined and secure enrollment process designed for consistency. For iOS, we leverage Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) as the preferred method, with Apple Configurator as a reliable fallback. For Android, we utilize Device Owner mode through QR code or Zero-touch enrollment. Our structured Registration Day Playbook guides your team through every step, from managing consent forms to final policy verification, ensuring a smooth and successful rollout.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Unplugged supports both iOS and Android devices, making it ideal for schools with diverse device ecosystems. This means schools don’t need to purchase new devices or manage separate platforms. One unified system handles all enrolled devices efficiently.

Powerful Policy Engine
Tailor your device management to fit your school’s unique needs with our flexible policy engine. Create rules that activate automatically based on a student’s location, such as connection to school Wi-Fi, geofences, or Bluetooth beacons. Alternatively, use time-based schedules to automate modes by class period, school day, or special events. This granular control allows you to apply different rules to individual students, specific groups, or entire schools with precision.
Compliance & Reporting
Gain essential visibility into your device fleet’s activity and policy adherence without resorting to invasive monitoring. Our system allows you to track real-time enrollment status and see which policies are active on which devices. View clear dashboards that provide insights into overall compliance and device health, and configure alerts to notify you of potential policy violations or technical issues as they arise.

Privacy & Security First
Trust is our foundation. The Unplugged platform is designed from the ground up to protect student data and comply with FERPA and COPPA regulations. We adhere to data minimization principles, collecting only the information necessary for the platform to function. All data is protected with TLS encryption during transmission and while at rest. Most importantly, we are committed to student privacy—our system does not inspect personal messages, photos, or files.
End‑to‑end protection
TLS in transit and at rest; no inspection of personal messages, photos, or files.
Minimal data collection
Only what’s necessary for platform functionality.
