How it works

Simple for teachers. School-managed for IT.

Ripplet is deployed as a private, school-managed instance with domain-restricted sign-in and role-based access.

1) School-managed sign-in

Teachers and students sign in using Google Workspace or Microsoft. Only approved school domains can access the app.

  • No shared passwords
  • Personal email accounts are not supported
  • Roles can be auto-identified or assigned by admins

2) Classes and tools

Teachers create classes and enable tools per class. Students join via a class code (with optional approval).

  • Unique 6-character class code
  • Tools can be hidden without deleting data
  • Classes can be deactivated and preserved

3) Works on any device

Ripplet is a responsive web app that adapts to the device being used — ideal for schools with mixed hardware.

  • Runs on iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android (phones/tablets)
  • Runs on Windows PCs, Chromebooks, and Macs
  • No special installs required for basic use

Optional: Add to Home Screen

On iOS and Android, users can add Ripplet to their Home Screen so it launches and feels like a dedicated app.

  • Quick access for students and teachers
  • Full-screen, app-like launch experience
  • Works with school-managed sign-in
