What is ClassroomScreen?

ClassroomScreen is a browser-based classroom board built for K-12 teachers to display at the front of the room on a projector, classroom TV or interactive whiteboard. Instead of juggling a timer in one tab, a name picker in another and instructions on a slide, it places all of those tools on a single screen that students can read from the back row.

The product is positioned around low friction: on the free Basic plan there is no sign-up, no credit card and no account needed — you open the board and teach. The company describes ClassroomScreen as privacy-first. Boards, class lists and uploaded images on Basic are stored in the browser, and the noise meter and document camera process sound and video locally, never recording or uploading them.

The board ships with 22 widgets, a template gallery and a lesson runner, and the entire interface works in English and Simplified Chinese.

How ClassroomScreen works

You open the board in a browser and add widgets from a dock, dragging and resizing them anywhere on the screen. Widgets are positioned in proportion rather than at fixed pixel coordinates, so a board built on a laptop keeps the same layout on a projector, a TV or a 4:3 smartboard.

Layouts save automatically in the browser on the free plan, so a board is ready before the bell. Keyboard and clicker support is built in: Space starts the timer, arrow keys or a presentation clicker switch screens, and focus mode hides every control so only student-facing content remains.

The lesson runner lets a teacher plan a lesson as timed steps. When one activity ends, the board chimes and advances to the next step by itself. Readability options include large, high-contrast widgets, the Lexend and Atkinson Hyperlegible fonts, and an OpenDyslexic option.

Main features

Time tools. A countdown timer with ring and disk views, presets and a gentle chime; a stopwatch with lap times to the tenth of a second; a digital or analog clock with date; a day counter for trips, tests or holidays; and the lesson runner for self-advancing timed steps.

Choosing and grouping. A fair name picker that does not repeat a name until everyone has had a turn, and skips students marked absent; a spin wheel for names, prizes or brain breaks; a group maker that builds random, even groups while keeping chosen pairs apart; and dice, coin flip and random number tools.

Class management. A live noise meter that rewards quiet minutes, a red/yellow/green traffic light, a work mode showing voice level 0–4 and the current activity type, a reward jar for whole-class goals, a team scoreboard with a crown for the leader, and a poll widget for emoji check-ins or A/B/C/D questions tallied live.

Text and content. Sticky-note style text for objectives and instructions, a visible class checklist, and a QR code generator that turns any link into a scannable code for student devices. Pen tools and photo backgrounds (gradients, paper styles and uploaded photos) round out the board.

Pricing

Basic — $0 forever, no credit card. Includes all 22 widgets, templates and the lesson runner; unlimited boards and screens auto-saved in the browser; up to 5 class lists with absent tracking; gradients, paper styles and 10 photo backgrounds; the ability to upload your own photo for any screen; pen, focus mode and readable fonts, in English and Chinese.

Pro — $2.90/month, billed $34.80 once a year (a yearly toggle advertises 25% savings; a monthly billing option is also shown, but its price is not stated on the pricing page). Pro adds cloud save so boards, class lists and pictures sync to your account across devices, unlimited class lists, all 34 photo backgrounds, a reusable photo library, and background slideshows that change on a timer.

Pro can be cancelled any time from Settings → Billing. It stays active until the end of the paid period, after which the board returns to Basic and cloud sync stops; boards, class lists and uploaded pictures are kept in the account and local copies keep working. Sync resumes if you upgrade again.

Common use cases

Teachers use the board to pace lessons and keep time visible during tasks, to select students fairly without repeats, to build pairs and teams in seconds, and to manage noise and voice levels without repeated reminders. It also covers whole-class rewards and team points for quizzes and review games, quick polls to check understanding or mood, and QR codes for getting students onto a link quickly. Countdown widgets keep deadlines and school events in view.

Limitations

• No cross-device sync on Basic. Boards and class lists are stored in the browser, so they are tied to that browser rather than an account; cloud sync requires Pro.
• Free-plan caps. Basic is limited to 5 class lists and 10 photo backgrounds, versus unlimited class lists and 34 backgrounds on Pro.
• Pro needs an account. The free plan requires no sign-up, but unlocking Pro requires signing in.
• Two languages only. The interface is available in English and Simplified Chinese.
• Monthly price not published. The pricing page shows the monthly billing toggle but states only the yearly figure.
• Not described on the supplied pages: LMS integrations, rostering, native mobile apps or student accounts are not mentioned. Support is handled through a ticket opened from the account page.

Summary

ClassroomScreen consolidates the timer, name picker, noise meter, group maker and instruction display that teachers otherwise spread across tabs into one projector-ready board. The free Basic plan covers every widget and saves work in the browser without an account, while Pro at $2.90/month (billed $34.80 yearly) adds cloud sync, unlimited class lists and photo slideshows for teachers who work across devices.
