Support phone-free classrooms—without the hassle.
TRUCE Family enforces phone-free policies automatically—no confiscation, no pouches, no lockboxes. Students keep their phones, distractions disappear, and teachers get back to teaching.

TRUCE Family takes a fundamentally different approach. Students keep their phones. Emergency calls always work. But distractions—apps, notifications, camera—are automatically blocked when and where they should be.
Why current approaches fall short
Schools have tried everything from pouches to app-based filters. Here’s how they stack up against TRUCE Family.
| Physical Pouches | VPN-Based Filtering | TRUCE Family | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency access | ✗ Phone locked in pouch | ⚠ Depends on VPN status | ✓ Always available |
| Staff burden | ✗ Daily handling & management | ✓ Low | ✓ None—fully automated |
| Offline enforcement | N/A—phone is locked away | ✗ None—VPN only blocks internet | ✓ OS-level—works offline |
| Bypass risk | Damage pouch or use 2nd device | ✗ High—disable VPN, airplane mode | ✓ OS-level with tamper alerts |
| Camera blocked | N/A—phone is locked away | ✗ No—camera still works | ✓ Yes—on campus |
| Parent visibility | ✗ None | ✗ None or very limited | ✓ Full parent dashboard |
| IEP / medical exceptions | ✗ Difficult to manage | ⚠ Manual configuration | ✓ Automatic exception handling |
| Value after school | ✗ None | ✗ None | ✓ Full family platform |
