For schools

Phones in pockets.
Brains in class.

A smarter way for schools to reduce digital distractions without collecting, locking away, or confiscating student phones.

Operational Efficiency

Less hardware. Less overhead.

Physical phone programs can require pouches, lockers, unlocking equipment, replacements and daily handling. Dedoom moves the policy into software.

✕ No need to purchase magnetic pouches ✕ No need to purchase unlocking equipment ✕ No need to install lockers ✕ No need for daily collection & distribution

HOW IT WORKS

One scan. Then focus.

A unified, software-driven workflow that requires zero physical collection or hardware overhead.

Step 1

Configure

School chooses what gets restricted.

Administrators configure rules once in software. Choose which algorithmic loops, short-form video feeds, and games are paused during instructional periods.

Step 2

Check in

Students scan the school's QR code.

Upon entering campus or class, students simply scan a QR poster. No collecting devices, no assigning cubbies, and zero lost time for teachers.

Step 3

Focus

Configured distractions disappear. Approved communication and school resources remain available.

Dedoom enforces the school's policy seamlessly on-device. Shorts, Reels, and social algorithms vanish, while class learning tools and emergency phone calls continue to work.

Step 4

Check out

The session ends. The phone returns to its normal state.

At the end of the scheduled school day, restrictions lift automatically without requiring teachers to unlock physical pouches or hand back devices.
