Frequently Asked Questions. Clear Answers.

ClassBee is desktop-based coaching institute management software created specifically for coaching institutes, tuition centres and test prep academies. The primary database runs locally on your workstation using SQLite, while features such as WhatsApp communication and Google Drive backups utilize internet connectivity when active.

ClassBee is a dedicated desktop application built with Electron, Node.js and SQLite, not a hosted web platform. Your core student roster, fee records and attendance registers are stored locally on your physical computer. WhatsApp messaging and Google Drive backup functions connect over the internet when in use.

Core administrative functions — such as managing student records, recording fee payments, marking daily attendance registers, and previewing or printing receipts — operate against your local SQLite database on your machine. An active internet connection is required when dispatching WhatsApp messages or synchronizing encrypted backup snapshots to Google Drive.

ClassBee connects to your institute WhatsApp account via QR code session pairing using local browser automation (whatsapp-web.js and Puppeteer). All messaging actions — including individual/bulk fee reminders, one-click attendance notifications to relevant students’ parents, report-card PDF sharing, and class announcements — are administrator-triggered with preview and confirmation. It does not require official WhatsApp Business API approvals.

Yes. The software supports one-click attendance notifications directly to relevant students’ parents and one-click report card PDF sharing. Both features are administrator-triggered actions that send verified information directly through the paired WhatsApp session.

ClassBee allows you to generate encrypted database snapshots and save them to your private Google Drive account. It also supports manual local database backup and restore with a Recovery Key and optional passphrase. Google Drive is used for backup archives and disaster recovery, not live cloud synchronization.

No. ClassBee is engineered as a dedicated standalone desktop application. Backup snapshots are for disaster recovery and archive safety, ensuring data privacy and fast local responsiveness.

Yes. From the Institute Settings section, you can configure your institute identity, receipt numbering details, and your custom WhatsApp signature that accompanies messages.

ClassBee is lightweight and runs on standard modern computers. For Windows, 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 with 4 GB of RAM and 500 MB of free storage is supported. For macOS, macOS 11 or newer is supported on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
