Phone policies are easy to write. This one students actually want.
DisConnect turns "put your phone away" into a tap, then gives students somewhere better to be: clubs, intramurals, campus nights, the café down the street. And it pays them for going.
The loneliest hour on campus happens in residence.
It's a Tuesday in October. The first-year down the hall hasn't found their people yet. Making a plan means texting a group chat that's gone quiet, so they open the feed. Again.
Students don't need another assembly about screen time. They need something to do tonight, close by, that feels easy to show up to alone. DisConnect catches the scroll and answers it with three things happening within a 10-minute walk, then rewards them for going.
Your campus already runs hundreds of events a term. DisConnect puts them where students actually look: inside the scroll.
From move-in day to exam season.
A card in every orientation kit
Students get their DisConnect card at move-in or orientation, set up in two minutes with their student email.
Tap to lock, anywhere
Lectures, libraries, study halls, exam season. Students lock their own apps with a tap. Nobody confiscates anything.
Your campus, mapped
We load your clubs, rec schedule, residence events and student union nights into the Discover tab, alongside vetted spots nearby.
Tap in, earn, redeem
Students tap in at events and partners, earn points, and spend them at campus dining, the bookstore, the pub and local venues.
Built for the people who run student life.
Residence Life
Fill the first six weeks, when students decide whether this place is theirs. Floor events show up in the scroll, not on a corkboard.
Orientation teams
A physical card in every welcome kit becomes the thing students carry to every frosh event, all year.
Student unions & clubs
Turnout, finally measurable. Every tap-in is a real person through the door, not an "interested" click.
Libraries & study spaces
Phone-free zones that run on a tap instead of a sign. Great for exam season study halls.
Athletics & rec
Drop-in and intramural sessions pushed to students who are bored and nearby, right when they're bored and nearby.
Student affairs
Anonymous, aggregate reporting: hours reclaimed, events attended, partners visited. Proof your programming is working.
You have a phone rule. Now skip the confiscation bin.
Classroom phone rules are spreading across Canada and the US. Writing the rule was the easy part. Enforcing it turned teachers into phone police and put a pile of phones in a drawer.
With DisConnect, students tap to lock their own apps at the bell. No pouches, no lockers, no standoffs. After school, the Youth Pass suggests age-appropriate things to do nearby: teams, arts programs, the library, the rink.
For teachers
Class starts with a tap, not a negotiation.
For parents
A physical off switch your kid chose to use.
Zero surveillance. We don't know who scrolled.
Individual screen time never leaves a student's phone. Your team sees anonymous totals only: hours reclaimed, events attended, partners visited.
No names. No leaderboards of shame. No reports to parents or profs. Students opt in because it's theirs, not because they're being watched.
Less per student, per year, than one campus latte.
Start small with one residence or cohort. Scale to the whole campus when the numbers come back.
One residence, program or cohort, up to 300 students.

Bring DisConnect to your school.
Tell us where you are and who you're thinking about. We'll come back with a pilot plan and pricing for your student count.
Do students pay anything?
Not when the school covers the licence. Students just download the app and pick up their card.
Is it mandatory?
We recommend opt-in. It works better when students choose it, and most say yes to free.
Can we add our own events?
Yes. Your team can submit events, and we load recurring programming (rec, clubs, residence) for you.
Does it work for high schools?
Yes. The Youth Pass keeps suggestions and rewards age-appropriate, and the card works for classroom lock-ins.
