What Mosyle Manager is
Mosyle Manager is Apple device management software with workflows designed for K-12 schools and districts. It manages macOS, iOS/iPadOS and tvOS, including simultaneous management of Macs and iOS/iPadOS devices. Schools can use Apple Automated Device Enrollment for school-owned iPads, Shared iPad workflows, and Apple User Enrollment for BYOD while separating school data from personal data. The software installs and updates App Store, custom and enterprise apps, as well as macOS PKG and DMG packages; it also offers a macOS App Catalog. Classroom tools include class feeds and history, assigned study apps and sites, App Lock, Safe Test Mode, Quick Poll and live screens for macOS. Listed integrations include Google, Microsoft, Active Directory and API. After account approval, a 30-day trial provides access to all features; unsubscribed accounts then convert to Mosyle Manager Free. The free plan has no device limit but can be configured for iOS/iPadOS or macOS. Paid plans are listed at $5.50 per device per year for Premium and $9 per device per year for OneK12, with a minimum of 30 licenses for each.
