Kihon Staff is on the App Store ยท three more in progress

Kihon on your phone

Kihon is a web app that works everywhere, and native apps for the places a browser tab is the wrong tool. Running a class, standing at a door, or driving a route are not desk jobs.

iPhoneiPadWeb, everywhere

Every app here is included. Kihon does not charge per app, per seat, or per feature, and nothing in this list is an upgrade. If your school has Kihon, your team has these.

The apps

Kihon Staff On the App Store

The day, in your pocket. The duty sheet you tick as you go, who is worth a call, today's classes, the standing week, and the inquiries waiting on a reply. See what it does

Kihon Portal In progress

For families. Attendance and rank, the schedule, what you have been billed and why, and a direct line to the school. Available in a browser today. See what it does

Kihon Device In progress

Turns an iPad into a front-desk appliance: check-in, self-service signup, the pickup station, and the lobby screen. Paired to one school, no personal account on it.

Kihon Driver In progress

For after-school routes. Who is being collected today, from which school, and a signed record of every handover.

Why native, and not a website in a shell

Because the difference shows up on the days that matter. A native app puts a new duty on your lock screen without you opening anything. It keeps working in the dead corner of the building where the wifi does not reach. It uses the keyboard, the share sheet, and the accessibility settings you already have set up, rather than an imitation of them.

Most school software gives you a website with an app icon on it. That is cheaper to build, and you can feel it every time you use one.

What they never do

The detail is in the Privacy Policy, which covers every app on this page, and the Terms of Service.

Need help with an app?

Support is a person, not a ticket queue. Each app has its own page with what it does and how to get unstuck: start with Kihon Staff support or Kihon Portal support, or write to us and a human answers within a business day.
