How does LockedIn enforce phone-free policies?

LockedIn uses OS-level features — Guided Access on iOS and Screen Pinning on Android — 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 has nine-vector circumvention detection that monitors for attempts to bypass the system, including fake device detection, screen mirroring detection, split-screen attempts, developer options usage, and more. Any attempt to circumvent the system immediately alerts school administrators through the real-time notification system.

What happens in an emergency?

Unlike physical pouches that completely lock away phones, LockedIn maintains the ability for schools to quickly unlock student devices in emergency situations. Administrators can instantly release all students from lock-in mode through the dashboard, ensuring student safety is never compromised.

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. On iOS, it uses Guided Access for device locking, and on Android, it uses Screen Pinning. Both platforms 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.
