Teaching tools

Ünflat in the classroom

Turn on school mode on a device, give out seats, and run a closed class.

For class seats, contact [email protected] or use the Contact us page.

School mode turns the app into a closed class on one device. Each student gets a seat. Shared pieces stay inside the class. Students need no password, email address, or outside account to sign in.

Setting up a class

Turn on school mode to show the School section in Settings. Select Set up a class. Setting up needs a Teacher code from Ünflat. Ask for a code at [email protected]. The Teacher code is needed each time a class is made (on each device, and again after a class is closed); reopening a class’s desk uses the teacher password.

The School seats panel has a class name and the teacher’s name (both optional), a teacher password (at least 4 characters), and a student list (one student name per line, at least one).

School seats
Class name (Room 12) · Your name (Ms. Petrov) · Teacher password (just for you)
One student per line: first names are plenty.
Make my class
The setup sheet. Paste your student list and every student gets a username.

Select Make my class. The app makes a username (e.g., sunny-otter) for each student on the list. Students sign in with only this username, with no password. The teacher password locks the teacher’s tools, not the rest of the app.

Joining a class

Students sign in on the start screen by selecting I have a class name and typing their username. See Ünflat student view .

Class sharing

In school mode, the class box replaces the community. The class box fills the Today tab. The Community switch is turned off on the Figs, Scenes, and Patterns tabs.

  • Students see only classmate pieces the teacher approved. Shares go to the approval tray before they are posted.
  • The only outside pieces are the Ünflat featured shelf and Learn tutorial cards.
  • You check shares at the class desk .

Models, scenes, and patterns can be shared to the class box. Sets and clips can’t.

Class storage

A class is saved only on the device. On shared devices, each device needs its own class set up. Closing a class deletes the student list and class box pieces from the device for good.
