Messaging for schools and libraries on managed devices

Who this is for

Teachers, librarians and IT staff running managed Chromebooks or locked-down desktops.

The problem

Nothing can be installed on a managed device, most messengers are blocked outright, and the ones that are not have no meaningful safety story.

How Naven handles it

1. Runs entirely in the browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing for device management to approve.
2. Pre-send screening against a published policy, plus age bands and verified parental consent (COPPA) before an under-13 account can send.
3. No public directory and no algorithmic feed, so there is no discovery surface pointing students at strangers.
4. Channels give a class or club a space without running a server.

What it costs

Nothing. Naven is free, with no advertising, no paid tier and no data sale. There is no card, no trial and no phone number.
