Attendance app with QR code

An employee attendance app that works with the phones your team already has. Each person shows a QR code from the Clocknico app to a tablet or USB scanner at the entrance — clocked in or out in a second. No badges to buy, no fingerprints to store.

How it works

  1. Create a kiosk in HR settings and open its link on a tablet at the door (or a computer with a USB QR scanner).
  2. Employees open My QR code in the app and hold the phone up to the kiosk.
  3. First scan of the day clocks them in; the next one clocks them out. The kiosk greets them by name.

Three working times, counted separately

Not every hour is the same. Define up to three working times — for example Office, Field and Overtime, or Day, Night and Weekend. Before scanning, employees tap one of three coloured buttons on their phone; the choice is built into the signed QR code, so it can’t be changed afterwards.

  • Each working time has its own colour — on the phone, on the kiosk welcome screen and in reports.
  • Hours per working time in the attendance report, the team calendar and each person’s own calendar.
  • Payroll CSV with a row per person per working time, in decimal hours.
  • Working from home? People clock in online from the app; remote hours are counted as their own working time.

Built to be trusted

  • Codes change every 30 seconds and work only once — a screenshot sent to a colleague is useless.
  • No biometrics — no fingerprints or face photos to store and protect.
  • One kiosk per entrance — switch one off instantly if a device is lost.
  • A separate database for every company — how we protect your data.

More than a check-in log

  • Attendance report — who is in today, late arrivals, attendance vs. time tracked on projects.
  • Monthly hours for payroll — every person, every month, with a CSV in decimal hours.
  • Time off — leave requests with approvals, sick leave with sick notes, holidays and a team calendar.
  • Personal calendar and free-time scheduling for the whole team.

Price

The attendance kiosk is included in every plan — and Clocknico is free for teams of up to 5 users. Larger teams pay €1.50 per user per month on the yearly plan.
