Mosyle launches new service to help parents manage Mac and iPad screen time for K-12 devices at home

Mosyle has launched Mosyle@Home, a new management platform that allows parents to control school-issued iPads and Macs during after-school hours through a dedicated, free-to-use parental dashboard.

Key Points

  • Parents can set screen time limits, pause device access, and view detailed app usage reports for school-issued hardware.
  • The platform includes web filtering tools and the ability to reset forgotten iPad lock screen passcodes.
  • Mosyle@Home replaces the deprecated ScreenGuide service, with a seamless migration process for existing users.
  • The service is available at no additional cost to families when enabled by schools using Mosyle OneK12 or other paid plans.
  • Parents register devices by scanning a QR code to gain control over app restrictions and internet filtering outside of school hours.

Why it Matters

This platform bridges the gap between institutional IT security and parental oversight for school-issued technology. By integrating these controls directly into the device management software, schools can provide families with necessary oversight tools without compromising administrative security protocols.
