LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2026 / LockedIn has introduced a technology platform designed to address student phone use in schools by limiting access to non-essential applications during school hours while maintaining access to approved academic tools and emergency communication.
The platform automatically restricts access to selected applications, including social media, messaging, and entertainment, during defined school periods. At the same time, it allows continued use of designated educational tools such as email, learning management systems, and other approved applications.
Unlike traditional approaches that rely on physical phone collection or manual enforcement, LockedIn functions in the background without requiring ongoing intervention from teachers or administrators. The system is intended to reduce the need for classroom-level monitoring of device use and to minimize disruptions caused by enforcing phone policies.
The platform also includes measures to address common methods for bypassing device restrictions. According to the company, the system is structured to operate consistently across student devices without requiring continuous supervision.
Emergency communication capabilities remain accessible at all times, allowing students to retain access to essential functions while restrictions are in place.
LockedIn was developed by Brian Ohebshalom and Noah Fakheri, who identified ongoing challenges related to students' phone use in classroom environments through firsthand experience.
The founders began developing the platform to address limitations in existing solutions, which often rely on manual enforcement or systems that users can bypass. The resulting platform is designed to operate as an automated alternative that does not require additional workload from educators.
Early implementation has involved collaboration with schools seeking structured approaches to managing phone usage during instructional time. The company reports that schools are exploring the platform as part of broader efforts to support classroom focus and reduce device-related disruptions.
LockedIn is currently focused on expanding adoption across additional schools and districts, aiming to provide a scalable solution that can be implemented without significant operational changes for educators or administrators.
