Our software is designed to give school districts control over which applications can be accessed on student devices during school hours, helping to maintain a distraction-free learning environment. We use Mobile Application Management (MAM) technology to manage app usage remotely and allow schools to create device policies tailored to their specific needs. In combination with the Screen Time API (iOS) and Digital Wellbeing (Android), our software can block core functions such as text messaging, calls, camera, microphone access, and all applications on the device. This ensures that students remain focused during school hours while still allowing emergency functions as necessary.

Yes, both students and parents can request specific applications to be approved for use on student devices during school hours, such as health-related or medical apps. If an app is required for medical, safety, or educational purposes, the software allows school administrators to review and grant access on a case-by-case basis. This ensures that necessary apps are available while maintaining a distraction-free learning environment.

Yes, opting out is possible, depending on your school district’s policies. We always refer to each district's specific guidelines, as outlined in the student handbook and MetaMorph contract. Some districts may provide alternative compliance measures for those who opt out.

Yes, but access is limited to essential functions only. School districts will only see whether the software is active on a device and can approve certain apps for use upon request. We are FERPA-compliant, prioritizing student safety and privacy. We do not store or share personal data, nor do we permit access by third parties, school districts, or law enforcement to private information. Our software focuses strictly on managing and optimizing device usage for educational purposes, not on content moderation.

Our software is designed to work on various devices, including iOS and Android smartphones. We aim to ensure compatibility across the most common devices used by students, but certain features may vary based on device type and operating system.

While our primary focus is on managing app usage, depending on direct preferences, we may use geofencing to ensure students are on school grounds during school hours to engage with the software. This feature is designed to help schools comply with district policies and ensure that the software is engaged within the intended areas. Student privacy is a top priority, and location data will only be used for this specific purpose and not shared with third parties.

Our software is designed to have minimal impact on device performance. It runs efficiently in the background to ensure a smooth experience for users and minimal battery drain, focusing only on managing app access as needed during school hours. By limiting certain features on phones, devices are likely to last longer throughout the school day, enhancing overall performance and battery life.

Our software is intended for school-based management rather than parental controls at this time.

No, teachers will not have access to personal information on students’ devices. They may only see compliance indicators, such as whether the software is active or whether a restricted app is in use. This helps teachers maintain a focused classroom environment without compromising student privacy.

We continually update our software to ensure it remains effective, secure, and compliant with the latest privacy standards.

Yes, our software is designed to allow essential functions, such as emergency calling, during restricted periods in case of emergencies. Schools have the flexibility to set up specific exceptions to ensure students have access to these critical functions when needed. The availability of this feature depends on school policies and is outlined in the MetaMorph contract and the student handbook to ensure compliance with district guidelines.
