How does LockedIn enforce phone-free policies?

LockedIn uses OS-level device locking to lock student devices during school hours. Once a student enters the school campus (detected via geofencing), they enter a grace period and must activate lock-in mode. The app sends heartbeat signals every 60 seconds to verify compliance, and administrators are instantly notified of any violations through the real-time dashboard.

How is LockedIn different from Yondr pouches?

Unlike Yondr pouches, LockedIn is entirely software-based — no physical hardware needed. It provides real-time compliance monitoring, can't be circumvented with fake phones, allows emergency access, and doesn't create logistical challenges with distribution and collection. Schools also get detailed analytics and reporting.

Can students bypass or cheat LockedIn?

LockedIn catches every common bypass trick students try. It detects fake devices, blocks Bluetooth workarounds like connecting AirPods, Apple Watches, or Meta glasses, flags student hotspot sharing, and catches screen mirroring and split-screen attempts. Any bypass attempt immediately alerts school administrators through the real-time notification system.

What happens in an emergency?

Students can leave LockedIn mode in less than 2 seconds — they simply exit the app to regain full access to their device. Unlike physical pouches that completely lock away phones, LockedIn ensures students always have the ability to use their phone when they truly need it. Student safety is never compromised.

Does LockedIn track student locations?

No. LockedIn only detects when a student enters campus and when they leave campus — that's it. We never see, store, or have access to a student's location at any other time. There is no continuous GPS tracking, no location history, and no way for administrators to monitor where students are. Campus entry and exit detection is used solely to trigger and release lock-in mode.

How much does LockedIn cost?

LockedIn includes the student app (iOS and Android), admin dashboard, real-time monitoring, compliance reports, custom school schedules, geofencing setup, ongoing support, and training and onboarding. Contact us for pricing details.

How long does it take to set up LockedIn?

Schools can set up LockedIn in as little as one day. Administrators configure their school hours, draw their campus geofence on an interactive map, and import students via CSV. Students simply download the app and log in with their school email. LockedIn provides training and onboarding support throughout the process.

Does LockedIn work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes, LockedIn has native apps for both iOS (iPhone) and Android devices. Both platforms use OS-level device locking and provide the same level of enforcement and monitoring capabilities.

Does LockedIn comply with student privacy regulations?

LockedIn operates within the OS application sandbox on student devices — it does not require MDM enrollment, device ownership, or access to personal data. The app only monitors compliance-related signals (device lock state, campus presence during school hours) and does not access messages, photos, browsing history, or any personal content.
