Blackout Education
The software solution to end smart phone distraction
Automatically Restrict Smartphones
Blackout will automatically restrict devices preventing social media apps and all other non-essential apps from being accessed.
Right Place, Right Time
Control when, where and how devices are blocked, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Privacy is Key
User trust is critical to us. We only ask for the relevant permissions to restrict iOS & Android devices, we do not track any other app activity on the phone or users device behaviour.
Smartphone Addiction Crisis
Create a Focused Learning Environment
Smartphones are a major distraction. Banning them helps students concentrate, reduces hours of wasted time, dramatically improves academic performance and increases enthusiasm for extra-curricular activities.
Save our Children
Research conclusively proves smartphone use in school-age children severely affects mental health, contributing to anxiety, depression, stress, sleep deprivation, suicide, unemployment, porn addiction, gaming addiction, body dysmorphia and social isolationism.
Improved student behaviour
Smartphones can fuel online bullying, harmful content sharing and violent conflicts among students, staff and families
The Flaw in the Phone Ban
Parents value staying connected with their children throughout the day, especially for emergencies or coordinating after-school plans. While concerns about distractions are valid, an outright phone ban can heighten parental anxiety. That’s why Blackout offers a smart solution—restricting access to apps and social media while still allowing traditional calls and SMS messaging.
Enforcing a phone ban also comes with challenges. Confiscations can lead to conflict and drain valuable staff time. With Blackout, schools eliminate this burden by fostering cooperation rather than confrontation.
Additionally, many students rely on smartphones for learning, medical needs, or emergencies, particularly if they lack access to laptops or tablets. Blackout ensures these students remain digitally supported while minimising disruptions, offering schools a balanced approach to technology management.
