A private social app for your school
Madefor gives a school a private social app of its own, under its own name, on a server it owns. Madefor is a custom, privately hosted social app for churches, clubs, schools and community groups.
Two ways to run your community's app
A hosted platform and your own private app solve the same problem in different ways.
A hosted platform
- Runs on the provider's servers, alongside many other organizations
- Your members' data lives in the provider's systems, under its policies
- The provider sets the product, its roadmap and its terms
- Can bundle other tools — such as giving or church management — in one service
Your own app with Madefor
- Runs on a server you own, or one hosted privately for you alone
- Native iPhone and Android apps under your name, logo and colors
- A private social feed, groups, chat and events at the center
- No ads, no algorithm, no data selling
- You decide who can see, post and manage each page
What Madefor gives a school
Classes, clubs and parents
Groups for each class, club and parent community, each with its own chat, polls and files.
Announcements and events
Push notices to the whole school or one group, and a calendar with RSVP.
Forms and sign-ups
Trip consent, club registrations and volunteer lists, answered in the app.
You decide who sees what
Separate spaces for students, parents and staff, with permissions for every page.
Questions
Can students, parents and staff see different things?
Yes. Every page has its own permissions, and leaders can check exactly what each role sees with “View as”.
Where is the data stored?
On a server your school owns, or one hosted privately for your school alone. It is never shared or sold.
Are there ads?
No. There is no advertising and no tracking.
Does it carry our school's name?
Yes. The app is published with your school's name, logo and colors.
What does it cost?
It depends on your school's size and needs. Send a request and we'll give you a clear answer.
