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
- No tracking, no advertising, no analytics SDKs. There is no third-party code in these apps watching what you do.
- No data sold, ever. Your school's records belong to your school. Kihon holds them to run the service and for nothing else.
- No lock-in. Export everything, free, one click, whenever you like. That is a promise on the pricing page and it applies here too.
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.
