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.

## Get your license

1

### Download Kilobat

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

2

### Email us from your school address

Send a short note to [our support address](mailto:ping@kilobat.app?subject=Kilobat%20student%20license) from your school email. No school email? Attach anything that shows you’re enrolled this term.

### Paste the key

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

## What students use it for

- **Campus and dorm Wi-Fi.** Why can’t it connect? names the layer that fails: the login page, DNS, a blocked port or the server, so you know whether to fix it yourself or ask IT.
- **Hotspot data.** Mark your phone’s hotspot as metered, set a budget, and Travel keeps updaters and background apps off it.
- **AI agents and long builds.** Keep the Mac awake exactly while Claude Code, Codex or a build runs, even with the lid closed.
- **Calls and exams online.** The stutter test and the speed test say whether a call will hold up before it starts.

## Questions

**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.
