One device.
School during class.
Private after the bell.

S.O.S. is a device-level school-session governance and network-integrity system. During class it turns a student's own phone into a secure, school-managed learning environment — then returns it to a fully private personal device the moment the session ends. No school hardware. No surveillance. No confiscation.

Built on the device students already own — cheaper than 1:1 hardware, more humane than confiscation, private by design.

🔒 School Mode — on the student's own phone A student in class whose phone shows School Mode with social apps paused during class

When class starts, the distraction pauses — automatically.

No pouch to collect, no device to confiscate. Social media and games are quietly paused on the phone the student already owns — then handed right back the moment the bell rings.

The problem

Personal phones are the #1 classroom distraction — and every existing answer forces a bad trade.

A majority of U.S. states now mandate "bell-to-bell" phone policies, leaving ~13,000 districts and ~98,000 schools scrambling to operationalize one. The hard part: the device causing the problem is owned by the student and family, not the school.

✗ Confiscate

Pouches, lockers, caddies

Removes the distraction and the educational value. Per-student cost, daily friction, loss disputes, and parents who can't reach their kids.

✗ Buy hardware

1:1 district devices

Expensive to buy, image, repair, and replace — and it does nothing about the personal phone still in the student's pocket.

✗ Surveil

Enterprise MDM / monitoring

Enrolling a child's personal phone into always-on district IT management is exactly what families refuse — and rightly so.

Why it matters

The case for a smarter phone policy.

Confiscation removes the distraction and the learning. S.O.S. keeps the phone in the lesson while the noise stays out.

The instructional case

Families won't enroll a child's personal phone into district surveillance — and they shouldn't have to. Authority that ends at the bell earns their trust.

The parent-trust case

Software on the device students already own costs a fraction of 1:1 hardware — and there's no fleet to image, repair, or replace.

The budget case
