About AppCafe School Management

A complete, end-to-end school management platform built for Indian schools.

What Is This Platform?

AppCafe School Management is a modern web application that brings every aspect of school administration into a single, role-aware portal. Built on ASP.NET Core 8 and designed specifically for the workflows of Indian schools (CBSE, ICSE, and State Board), it connects administrators, teachers, students, parents, support staff, and bus drivers — each with their own tailored experience.

This site (school.appcafe.in) is a live demonstration of the platform. Schools that adopt AppCafe get their own private, self-hosted or cloud-hosted instance with their own data.
