Attendance the same day
Marked in class, visible on your phone that afternoon — not discovered at the end of term.
SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMOne system for the school.
One system for the school.
An app for every parent.
Admissions, attendance, exams, fees, scholarships, library and communication — run from one place by your office and staffroom. Parents and students see the part that concerns them, on their phone.
Built and run by the team behind Own Sandbox — we teach in classrooms, so the software was written by people who have sat in one.
The questions parents ask the office all day — answered before they ask.
Most calls a school receives are the same six questions. When parents can see the answer themselves, the office gets its day back.
Results as they are published
Every exam, subject by subject. The report card lands in the app the moment the school releases it.
Fees without the queue
What is due, what is paid, and every past receipt. No trip to the office to ask.
The daily diary
What was taught today and what is due tomorrow — from the teacher, not from a friend on WhatsApp.
Leave, applied from the phone
Apply for leave, the class teacher approves it, and attendance updates itself. No note in a diary.
A line to the class teacher
Message the teacher directly, tied to your child, so nothing gets lost in a group of ninety parents.
FOR STUDENTS
Their own login, not their parent’s.
Older students get their own account. It is a small thing that changes how they treat their own record — attendance and marks stop being something that happens to them and start being something they watch.
- Their timetable for the day
- Their own attendance record
- Marks, subject by subject
- Homework and the daily diary
- Study materials the teacher shares
- Fees status, visible to them too
Everything the office and staffroom run on.
Not a student database with extras bolted on. Every line below is a working screen sharing the same records — so a fee concession shows up on the ledger, the report card and the parent’s app at once.

BUILT FOR INDIAN SCHOOLS
Software that already knows how your school works.
Most school software is built elsewhere and translated. This one was built here, for the boards, the fee cycles and the paperwork you actually deal with.
- CBSE exam pattern out of the box — FA1, FA2, SA1, SA2 and Annual, not an American GPA
- Fees in rupees, dates in Indian format, report cards that print the way your board expects
- Category fields (General / OBC / SC / ST) where your records already need them
- Scholarship and concession tracking, which most international systems have no concept of
- Sibling and family grouping, so one fee conversation covers three children
Web, for the school
Office staff, teachers and the head open it in a browser. Nothing to install, nothing to keep updated on twenty machines.
Mobile, for families
Parents and students get a phone app with their own portal — attendance, results, fees, diary, notices and messages.
Everyone sees only their own
Access is decided by role, and checked on every request — not merely hidden in the interface. Office staff get only the sections you grant them, and changes take effect immediately.
See it with your own school’s data.
The honest way to judge school software is to watch someone do one of your real jobs in it — mark a section’s attendance, generate a report card, close a month of fees. That is what a walkthrough is.
