Real change doesn’t start with a policy. It starts with one simple shift — and the willingness to try.
Our pilot program lets your school test screenfree in a real-world setting. No pressure. No big rollout. Just space to see what happens when phones are out of the way — and students are truly present.
screenfree Pilot Pack - what's included
50 screenFree pouches for two classes. (25 faraday/Signal blocking and 25 standard lockable pouch)
3 unlocking stations- one for each class and an extra to switch between to ensure a smooth unlocking experience
Quick-start guide — no training sessions required
Optional support if you would like
Simple feedback process (we’re learning too)
More than a pouch — it’s a shift in school culture
Why screenfree?
Schools Can’t Compete with the Feed. But they Can take Control
Brain Drain is Real
Phones Sap Thinking Power - Even switched off and nearby, phones reduce working memory, focus, and cognitive capacity. It’s not just distraction — it’s diminished brain function
Willpower Isn't Enough
It's Not a Fair Fight - Expecting self-discipline around the most addictive technology ever created is like handing car keys to a 7-year-old — it’s not fair, and it’s not safe.
Addicted by Design.
Attention is the Product - Teens average 8+ hours of screen time daily. One in three say they’re addicted - and Schools are paying the price.
Performance Suffers
Hijacked Attention, Leaking Grades - Students with phone access during lessons consistently score 20%+ lower on tests and retain less information.
Teacher Burn-out
Burnt-Out Teachers, Switched-Off Kids - Poor enforcement drains staff energy and erodes classroom culture.
Eroding Culture
School Should Feel Different - Phones undermine connection, engagement, and a sense of community. When everyone’s half-present, the culture frays.

screenfree FAQs
How does the pouch work?
Each student locks their phone in a secure pouch using a magnetic pin system. They keep the pouch with them throughout the day. At the end of school, they unlock it using the designated unlocking station.
Do students keep their phones?
Yes. screenFree doesn’t collect or store phones — it creates a physical boundary without removing ownership or causing friction.
What happens if a student needs access during the day?
That’s up to your policy. Some schools create designated unlocking times or allow supervised access when necessary.
How long does it take to set up?
Most schools can pilot ScreenFree with minimal setup. We provide a simple guide — and most teachers and students understand it in minutes.
