School management software · Udupi & Manipal

Free school management software for Udupi & Manipal schools.

Kindred gives an Udupi or Manipal school its student information system, geofence-verified teacher attendance, live bus tracking, in-app fees, per-period marks, homework, behaviour notes and a private parent–teacher line — in Kannada, Hindi or English — for no licence fee and no per-student charge. Built in Karnataka, hosted in India, readable from any time zone.

The parent who isn't in the country

Udupi district sends more of its parents abroad than almost anywhere else in Karnataka. In a single classroom you'll have children whose father is in the Gulf, whose mother handles school alone, and whose grandparents do the pickup. For those families the class WhatsApp group is actively hostile: 200 messages overnight, the one that mattered buried at 2am local time, and no way to search it later.

Kindred is the opposite shape. Every announcement lands in one indexed feed that's still there in the morning. Attendance, homework, marks and behaviour notes are a record, not a message that scrolled past. And a parent overseas has the same private thread with the class teacher as the parent at home — voice notes, read receipts, no phone numbers exchanged, no time-zone penalty.

An academically intense parent body

Manipal is a university town, and the schools around it serve families where academic detail is not a nice-to-have. A single line on a term-end report card is not an answer to how a child is doing in physics.

Kindred records per-period attendance rather than one daily tick, homework with the reference photo attached, test marks the moment they're entered with a trend line across the term, and behaviour observations tagged positive, neutral or concern. Parents see the shape of a slide while there's still time to act on it. How academic tracking works →

The Udupi–Manipal commute

Students move between Udupi town, Manipal, Brahmavar, Kaup and Malpe daily, and coastal monsoon weather turns a predictable 20-minute run into an unpredictable one for four months of the year. Kindred pings the driver's GPS every 15 seconds onto a live map with ETAs against real conditions, alerts the parent with a timestamp the moment their child boards and again on arrival, and gives the driver a one-button SOS.
