Phone-free school days,
powered by geofencing.
As students arrive, phones enter phone-free mode automatically.
Students arrive.
The school quietly enters focus.
Students install BeThere once. During school hours, phone-free mode activates the moment they arrive on campus — emergency calling remains available throughout the day.
Set up once. No daily scan, no pouch, no lockers — phone-free mode runs automatically on campus and lifts at dismissal.

Questions schools usually ask first
Short answers before your first meeting.
- Tracking
Does BeThere track students 24/7?
No. It runs only during the school schedule and campus area — never as an all-day tracker.
- Teachers
Do teachers manage phones?
Very little. No collecting, no pouches, no scanning — class just starts.
- Setup
Do students install it themselves?
Yes. App, school code, school email — about a minute on their own phone.
- Edge cases
Deleted app or second phone?
If check-in stops or permissions drop, staff see who needs follow-up.
- Safety
Is emergency access preserved?
Always. The day is phone-free; emergency help is never locked away.
- IT
Do schools need MDM?
No. Students install directly on iPhone or Android — no MDM rollout required.
