Point students at it the way you point them to UKCISA or the NHS.
We'll email the line, the QR code and the poster to from hello@setlyr.com.
Your university's own settling-in guide, inside the app. We set it up with you.
Nobody pays to be in the app. Not a bank, not an insurer, not a letting agent. We name what suits the student.
Every topic is checked against GOV.UK, the NHS and HMRC before it goes in, and re-checked when the rules move.
Checked with over a hundred immigrants. If your team sees something out of date, tell us and we fix it: hello@setlyr.com.
At the bank counter. Holding the council tax letter. The night before the GP visit. The answer is on their phone, in plain English, with what to bring, how long it takes and what it costs.
Ask about a visa and the app says the same thing every time: talk to your university's international student advisers. Check that line first.
Can I work more than twenty hours a week?
Setlyr saysThat's a condition of your visa, so we won't guess. Ask your university's international student advisers. They know your case.
Settling in isn't paperwork. It's whether a student understands how things work here, knows where to ask, and can picture a life after the course. That's where a good first year starts.
Students arrive knowing how the bank, the GP and the council work, so their energy goes on their course and their new life, not on working it out alone.
Money, homesickness and making friends, with every wellbeing topic pointing students to your services and the NHS at the moment it matters.
Students and their families can picture the move before they commit. The Cost Planner shows what it will really cost, city by city.
The bank letter, the council tax bill, the SIM card: answered in the app, so your advisers have time for the cases only people can handle.
Signposting Setlyr needs nothing from you. Partner universities go further: the app carries your welcome, your dates and your campus services, so a new student meets your university first and the UK second.
An extra on top of the settling-in content, not a replacement for it. No student data changes hands.
Alderbridge UniversityAlderbridge University is an invented example, not a partner.
We're building the partner version with a small number of UK universities. You decide what goes in, and your students get it first.
The free sites students find on Google are paid by the banks they recommend. That's the difference.
Three of our first app reviews. Unedited, apart from shortening.
When I was in the middle of my moving process, I downloaded Setlyr, and it made the whole process so much easier… The insider tips in almost every topic give you a really human-like tip that you can't really find elsewhere.
There are so many things that one needs to be aware of from visa, healthcare, taxes and pension and so many other things. Thankfully this app curate all of this information in a personalised and easily comprehensible manner.
Really useful app to have for a migrant recently to the UK! Provides guidance on everything from administrative, to learning how to settle… As a new generation British citizen, I certainly wish I had this when I migrated!
