What it is
Mosyle Manager provides Apple device management with workflows designed for K-12 schools and districts. It manages macOS, iOS/iPadOS, and tvOS, including simultaneous management of Macs and iOS/iPadOS devices. Schools can deploy school-owned iPads through Apple Automated Device Enrollment, use Shared iPad workflows, or enroll BYOD devices while keeping school data separate from personal data. App management covers App Store, custom, and enterprise apps, plus macOS PKG and DMG packages; a macOS App Catalog is also available. Classroom tools include class feeds and history, assigned study apps and sites, App Lock, Safe Test Mode, Quick Poll, and live screens for macOS. Integrations include Google, Microsoft, Active Directory, and API. After account approval, the 30-day trial gives access to all features; an unsubscribed account then converts to the free plan. Free is free with no device limit, but it can be configured for iOS/iPadOS or macOS. Premium costs $5.50 a year and OneK12 costs $9 a year, each with a minimum of 30 licenses.
