How to use Naven on a school Chromebook

A managed Chromebook usually blocks installs and app stores. Naven has neither, which is most of why it works on one.

Step by step

  1. Open navenapp.com in the browser

    That is the whole installation. There is no extension and no app to add.

  2. Sign in with the school email address

    Naven emails a six-digit code. No phone number is involved, which matters on a device with no SIM.

  3. Add it to the shelf if you want

    Chrome's install option pins it like an app. This is optional and changes nothing about how it works.

Questions

Does Naven work on a managed Chromebook?

Yes, as long as the network allows navenapp.com. There is nothing to install, so install restrictions do not apply.

Will my school see my messages?

Not from Naven. A network administrator can see which sites a device reaches, as they can for any site.

Can a school use Naven for classes?

Channels are the usual shape for that — one per class or club, joined by a link.

Try it in the tab you already have open

No install, no phone number, no card, and no new password. Sign in with the Gmail, Outlook or other email address you already have.
