Screens without the distractions
Laptops turn classrooms into distracting town squares
We’re restoring the walls — a calm, focused, teacher-led Digital Classroom.
The Missing Digital Classroom.
When laptops enter the room, the town square comes with them. What disappears isn’t effort—it’s boundaries. A classroom insulates learning from the noise, and that structure is what brings focus back.
Lets bring back focus
Stillwell is a classroom browser for laptops.
Students use it like any other browser — to read, write, and work online. The difference is that this one is built for teaching.
When a student enters a class session, the browser takes over the screen much like an exam lockdown tool. Only what belongs in class is available. Teachers decide what belongs.
How a session works
- 1The teacher creates a session
- 2The teacher shares a link with students
- 3When students click the link the classroom browser opens and switches into class mode
- 4The screen goes full-screen, and only the class material is available
Students can close the browser or leave the session — but it’s visible to the teacher, just like leaving a physical classroom.
The physical classroom in digital form.
Setup is quick and simple
No system rollout and no IT involvement.
- Create your first session in a minute
- Students install the browser once through guided flow
- Starting a new session is a few clicks
Once it’s set up, it stays out of your way.
Use Stillwell for…
Not an exam lockdown tool (yet)
Stillwell is designed for everyday classes — quick to start, easy for students to join.
It can be circumvented by simply closing it. That’s intentional for daily instruction, but it means it’s not yet a robust exam lockdown tool.
Use it to run focused sessions — not high-stakes testing.

Our mission
Our mission is simple: improve education by making it easier for teachers to teach.
Removing distractions is the first step. In a class of 20 students, a teacher has at best
3 minutes per student per hour — those three minutes need to count.
Privacy by Design.
Stillwell is built to be safe and easy to use in everyday teaching. Students don’t need accounts, email addresses, or external logins. The platform is designed to avoid collecting personal student information beyond the classroom context, so using Stillwell does not introduce new GDPR risk for you or your school.
