Old-school notice board without the cork
Keep learners
informed.Without the distractions.
Reaching them shouldn't mean putting a phone in their hand. Notices go on the wall they already walk past — no app, no group chat, nothing to scroll.
Built for schools
Why now
You can't reach a phone that's in a locker.
More schools are putting phones away for the school day — and every channel a school has invested in goes away with them. An app, a WhatsApp group, a push notification: between the first bell and the last, none of them arrive. A screen in a corridor asks nothing of anybody.

Corkless, on a screen in the corridor Time change
Nothing to install, nothing to join
No app, no group, no login, no data. A notice on the wall is read by whoever walks past it, which is everybody, on their way to somewhere else.
Up before the next bell
A room changes at nine and the notice is on the wall a minute later. Nothing waits for Friday's newsletter, or for somebody to check their email.
No phone to unlock
Phone bans are really about social media. Reading a message on a phone means unlocking it — and everything else on it. A screen needs none of that.
Why it's different
Notices name an audience and a place, never a screen.
Every other system asks which screens should show your message. Ask that and you have to answer it again for every screen you ever add. Corkless asks two things instead — who it's for, and where it applies. Every screen is told the same two things, and the routing follows on its own. Both are yours to name: a school that boards says hostel and school, one on two sites says north and south.

"Dinner is at 18:00."

It appears on
Only the hostel screens. The same notice on a screen in the school building would be telling the day pupils something that is not for them.
That evening
The notice goes down by itself. Nobody walks the building taking off old notices.
Next term, a new screen goes up
Say who it is for and where it stands. Every notice is already there. Nothing is re-sent, re-tagged or re-scheduled.
Your words, not ours
It already speaks the way your school does.
Who a notice is for, where a screen stands, and the templates a school actually posts — named the way that school names them, in the language it sends them in.

More of what it does
Features designed around a school, not an office.
More than one campus
A notice for one campus stays on that campus — it doesn't turn up in the other one's corridor. Anything meant for the whole school still reaches every screen, without you posting it twice.
Approval where it matters
A closure waits for a second pair of eyes before it goes anywhere. Everyday notices don't. You decide which kinds need signing off, once.
You see where it lands before you post
Say who a notice is for and the screens that will show it are listed back to you, by name, while you're still typing.
Take it down at once
Cricket back on after all? Pull the notice and it's off every screen in seconds — no walking round the building, no waiting for it to expire.
You'll know when a screen goes quiet
Every panel says when it last checked in. A dead screen shows up on a list rather than as a blank wall somebody mentions three weeks later.
One audience, as many screens as you like
Tell a second screen it is for the same people and everything is already there. Nothing to copy across, and nothing to keep in step afterwards.
The practical part
It runs on the screen already hanging in your corridor.
A Corkless Player on the wall
A small box that boots straight to your notices and switches the screen on and off for you. Nothing to install, no account to make.
Sign in with Microsoft
Your staff already have accounts. No new passwords, no separate user list to keep up to date when someone leaves.
Hosted in South Africa
Your data stays in the country, on infrastructure in Johannesburg.
Corkless Player
The screen looks after itself.
Off at night, on in the morning
Set the hours once and every Player keeps them. One screen can keep its own hours, or be left alone entirely. Works with most televisions' own HDMI control.
You can see whether the screen is on
Not only whether the player is alive — whether the thing on the wall is actually showing anything. A dark corridor stops being a guess.
It comes back by itself
After a power cut it boots straight to your notices. No login screen, no dialogue to dismiss, nobody walking down with a keyboard.
Put one screen up, free.
One noticeboard, on one screen, at no cost. Sign in with the Microsoft account your school already gave you, register the school yourself, and ask whoever looks after your directory for one role. That is the whole of the setup.
Try it on a screen you already have — any browser will show your notices, which is enough to see whether this belongs in your corridor.
