What is the Admin Dashboard?

The Helperbird admin dashboard gives administrators a clear view of how Helperbird is being used across their school or district. It shows total users, usage trends, and which features are being used most.


What You Can See

The dashboard includes:

Yearly Breakdown

Total users, total views, and overall adoption for the current year.

Last Week

New users and uninstalls from the past 7 days so you can track week-over-week growth.

Last 14 Days

New users and uninstalls from the past two weeks.

Last Quarter

New users and uninstalls from the past 90 days for a longer-term view of adoption.

Recent Users

A list of the most recent users, showing their domain and how many times they have used Helperbird. This helps you see which schools and organizational units are actively using the extension.

Most Used Features

A breakdown of which Helperbird features are being used most. This helps you understand how students and staff are benefiting from the tool.


License Management

Helperbird licenses are managed through Google Admin Console or Microsoft Intune, not through the Helperbird dashboard itself. This integrates directly with your existing device and user management workflows.

Google Admin Console:

  1. Go to Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions.
  2. Select the organizational unit you want to license.
  3. Force-install Helperbird and add your subscription key to the JSON policy.
  4. All users in that OU are automatically licensed.

Microsoft Intune:

  1. Push the Helperbird extension and subscription key to your target user groups or devices.
  2. Helperbird activates automatically on managed devices.

When you add or remove users from your organizational unit or device group, their Helperbird access updates automatically. There is no separate license assignment step inside Helperbird.


How to Access the Dashboard

The admin dashboard is set up for your organization by the Helperbird team. Contact us at Helperbird support and we will get your dashboard ready.

Once set up, you will receive a link to access your dashboard. The dashboard updates automatically and does not require any installation.

I have ADHD and yesterday Helperbird and the text-to-speech function (available in free version) turned a 28-page reading assignment from a two-day task to roughly two hours, maybe three at the absolute most. It helped tremendously! And I loved that the text-to-speech has such a fluid voice compared to a lot of others I've used! Honestly, the fact that this was created by someone who knows the struggles is something I love, because then it has neurodivergency in mind. I've tried too many things in the past that were created by neurotypical folk trying to be helpful to us and I do appreciate it, but it doesn't work as well because our brains work different. Highly recommend!

Helperbird does so many things that are game changing for me! By far the two most important are the font changes and the highlight ruler. I can change fonts to something dyslexia friendly. The ruler helps me stay on the line I'm trying to read. These two things change the blur into words! Tech support has been great when I have had problems!

I really liked the ease of setting up and also accessing the tool while you are on chrome. I had no trouble, and within a week found myself using it without even noticing.

They were super fast with response time when helping me meet a deadline and very kind when corresponding. If the app is anything like their customer service then I am happy with my purchase!
