Tech Lockdown's Supervised Mode Setup Tool is a fast, easy-to-use way to enable Supervised Mode on your iPhone (or iPad). It's available for Tech Lockdown members on the dashboard when setting up your iPhone.
The Supervised Mode Setup tool needs to be installed on either a Windows or a Mac computer. Expect the full process to take around 5 minutes, and ensure you have a charging cable on hand that you can use to plug your device.
On Windows, you will also need to download and install iTunes for the tool to work correctly. Our setup wizard will show you which version you can use, and once Supervised Mode is set up, you can decide to uninstall iTunes later.
