Built for schools with unreliable connectivity

The open-source
School Workspace

Attendance, assignments, messaging and parent access in one place. The register works with no connection at all, and syncs itself exactly once when you are back.

Why Zafarios

Built Different, By Design

For Every Stakeholder

Parents, teachers, students, and administrators—each gets a tailored experience designed for their needs.

Mobile-First Design

An Android app that installs and runs on a real handset. Take the register from your phone, with or without a connection.

Schools Kept Apart

Each school sees only its own records. Cross-school reads are refused at the database and again at the app, and we test both directions.

Open source

Zafarios is open source. You can run it yourself.

The software is open. A school that has its own server can install it, keep its own data on its own machines, and change what it needs to change. Nothing is held back behind a licence check.

Running a server is work, and most schools would rather not. That is what we sell: hosting, setting it up, moving your existing records in, connecting it to what you already use, training your staff, and support you can call on.
