A channel for every class, and families reached without your personal number
A channel is created with every class, teachers and students talk in it, and families get their messages inside String. Built on Matrix, fast, and connected to everything in the system.
- A channel per class, created on its own
- Files, voice notes and polls
- An announcement that reaches everyone
What it does
The school's chat, not a group on somebody else's app
Everything a class needs to talk, in a place that knows the class.
A channel per class
Created with the class, holding its students and its teachers.
Families, without personal numbers
A teacher messages a parent inside String, not from their phone.
A poll in seconds
A question, its options, and the result in front of everyone.
An announcement to the whole class
One message that reaches everyone in the channel.
Files, voice and images
Whatever the class needs to send during the lesson and after it.
Search across every chat
Find the message and the file when you need them, not when you happen to remember them.
How it connects
The channel is built from the class, and reaches the family's app
Nobody creates a group or collects numbers: membership comes from the String class, and what is sent arrives where people are waiting for it.

The chat knows the class it happens in
A channel follows its String class: its members are that class's students and teachers, and what is sent stays with it. And when you want to ask the class something, the poll is right there in the chat.
- Members come from the class itself, with no invitations
- From 2 to 10 options, one answer or several
- The result in front of the class the moment they vote
Who talks to whom
Four sides, one place
Teacher, student, parent and office, without anyone leaving String.
The teacher
- A channel for every class they teach
- Messages a parent without their personal number
- A poll or an announcement in the same channel
The student
- Asks about the homework where the homework is
- The conversation stays with their class, not in a public group
The parent
- The teacher's messages in the family app
- No late-night groups, no swapped numbers
The office
- An announcement to one class or the whole school
- Communication inside the system, not on a personal app
The difference
A group on a messaging app, and a channel inside String
By a group we mean what schools use today on personal messaging apps.
Who is in the conversation
A group on a messaging appWhoever was added by hand, and whoever stayed after leaving the class.StringThe class's own members, under their school accounts.The teacher's number
A group on a messaging appVisible to every parent in the group.StringNobody needs anybody's number.What gets sent
A group on a messaging appLost among photos and messages, tied to no lesson.StringStays with the class, and can be searched.Polls and announcements
A group on a messaging appA message, a copy, a paste, and counting by hand.StringA poll with an instant result, and an announcement that reaches everyone.
Groups are fast, but they do not know the class, keep nothing, and protect nobody's number.

Questions about chat
What schools ask before they leave their phone groups.
On Matrix, an open messaging protocol that enterprise systems are built on.
No. The conversation is inside String, and nobody needs anybody's number.
Yes, they stay with the class, and they are searchable.
It is encrypted in transit and at rest, and student data is never sold.
