For students

Pro is free while you study.

Dorm Wi-Fi, campus networks and a phone hotspot at the end of the month are hard enough. If you’re a student, Kilobat Pro costs nothing.

Free

The app’s proxy isn’t answering.

Sound familiar?

The app and the CLI are free for everyone. Pro adds the rest.

Send a short note to our support address from your school email. No school email? Attach anything that shows you’re enrolled this term.

We reply with a Pro license key, usually within a day. Paste it in Kilobat › Settings.

The same tools as everyone else, pointed at student problems.

Campus or dorm Wi-Fi won’t load
A login page, DNS, a blocked port or the server.
Why can’t it connect? names the layer that fails, so you know whether to fix it yourself or ask IT. Free
Hotspot data gone mid-month
Backups, photo sync and updaters on a metered network.
Mark the hotspot metered, set a budget, and Travel keeps updaters and background apps off it. Pro
Long runs stop overnight
The Mac goes to sleep.
Keep the Mac awake exactly while Claude Code, Codex or a build runs, even with the lid closed. Free
Calls and online exams freeze
Another app, the Wi-Fi or the Mac itself.
The speed and stutter tests say whether a call will hold up; the call report says why it froze. Pro

Who counts as a student?

Anyone 13 or older enrolled in a degree-granting course: high school, college, university or a coding bootcamp that grants a diploma.

How long is it free?

The license is yours to keep, like a paid one: version 1 and its updates, on two Macs.

What do you do with my email?

We use it to check you’re a student and send your key, then delete the message. No mailing list, no account.

Can teachers get it too?

Email us and tell us how you’d use it in class.
