Classroom first
Software should fit the way classrooms actually work, not force educators to work around the software.
Blacklink builds thoughtful technology for the people who make education happen every day.
The Blacklink approach
Schools already have enough complexity. Blacklink exists to make the technology layer simpler, clearer, and more useful.
Every product starts with a problem. Then we build around the people who actually experience it.
The ecosystem
A growing collection of focused tools, connected by one Blacklink experience.
01 / SCHEDULING
Adaptive bell scheduling software designed around the real rhythm of a school day.
02 / COLLABORATION
Fast, flexible notes for exit tickets, brainstorming, and formative assessment.
03 / PLATFORM
Products, infrastructure, identity, and integrations designed to work as one system.
A place for educators to create, organize, and share reusable educational resources.
Weather awareness and alerting technology built to help schools respond to severe weather.
What we believe
The technology matters. So does the way we choose to build it.
Software should fit the way classrooms actually work, not force educators to work around the software.
We build our infrastructure around protecting the people and information entrusted to our systems.
Education technology should be usable by as many people as possible, regardless of how they access it.
Products should work together. A school should not need a different workflow for every tool.
Who we build for
Simple tools that stay out of the way and let students focus on learning.
Reliable systems designed around the daily reality of classrooms and campuses.
Infrastructure that scales from one classroom to an entire school district.
Under the surface
Blacklink is more than the interface. The infrastructure behind every product is designed to make the experience feel effortless.
BellRinger is the first scheduling tool our staff actually likes using — it fit how our building already runs instead of forcing us to change everything.
Questions
Answers to what schools ask us most before getting started.
Stickies is free for individual teachers and classrooms. BellRinger is a paid product for schools and districts — BellRinger OSS, our open-source edition, is free to self-host. Reach out for pricing and district plans.
Every Blacklink product shares a single account and sign-in. Create an identity once and it carries across BellRinger, Stickies, and everything we ship after them, so there's no separate password to manage per tool.
As little as the product needs to function. We don't sell data, we don't build advertising profiles, and we minimize what we collect by default. Our privacy policy and data practices spell out exactly what's collected and why.
