Smartphone and tablet clocking apps
Low-cost staff attendance recording with QR codes, biometric options and more
easyLog offers a range of low-cost clocking apps that turn Android, Apple and Windows-based smartphones and tablets into convenient and reliable attendance recording devices for all kinds of workplaces, locations and staff. Our employee clocking apps are quick and simple to use and provide a dependable record of workers’ attendance for accurate timesheets and pay.
Clocking data is automatically transferred to your easyLog software, ready for viewing and reporting immediately and many of our staff attendance apps can be customised with your own company logo and colour scheme, if required.
Employee clocking options for smartphones
Simple to download and install, our smartphone clocking apps turn employee-owned or company-issued handsets into reliable and accurate attendance recording devices. Our smartphone apps are continually in development – these are some of the options available.
One of our most popular clocking options because of it’s flexibility and low cost, our Location Clock QR code app is an ideal way of recording staff attendance at multiple sites. Employees use the app on their phone to scan a free-to-download QR code whenever they clock in or out of a workplace, providing a record of location, date and time. Clockings are backed-up by geolocation coordinates and other in-built security features so attendance is recorded accurately, even if a worker tampers with the clock on their phone. Nothing could be simpler – or more cost-effective. Watch a short video on Location Clock.
Our QR Booking app works in much the same way, with workers scanning a QR code with their phone or a tablet to identify a job against which time is being booked. Read more about job recording with a QR code app.
With our Location Confirm app, employees use their phone to choose from a list of sites on a drop-down menu when they arrive and depart. The software compares the clocking with geolocation data to confirm it. A simple and effective clocking app for a wide variety of locations. Watch a short video on Location Confirm.
We also offer a web-based attendance recording option called eLogESCAR that enables temporary workers and even visitors to clock in and out securely without having to pre-register. All they have to do is scan a QR code with their phone to open a webpage and then fill in their details. Simple.
Turning a tablet into a biometric clocking device
Our easy-to-use attendance recording apps turn everyday tablets into multi-function clocking terminals. Most suitable for staff working in a fixed location, they offer a flexible and cost-effective staff attendance management option for employers of all sizes.
For employers who want the reassurance that only a biometric attendance recording option can provide without the initial outlay and ongoing costs associated with a dedicated terminal, easyLog has developed a pair of tablet-based clocking apps that confirm identity via a stored photographic image. These biometric apps are ideal for workers who are determined to beat the system by clocking in on someone else’s behalf or where correct identification is essential for site safety.
Geo Clock with Photo is a fast and convenient clocking app that compares a photo of the employee taken with the tablet with facial recognition software. It combines this with geolocation data, providing a record of identity, time and location. This app is also available for smartphones and in a manual photo identification version without biometric functionality. It is ideal for recording staff attendance securely in changeable locations.
Our Face Log app is a fixed clocking option that supports facial recognition using a photo taken with the tablet’s in-built front camera. Clockings are not accepted if there is no match and are backed up by geolocation data, ensuring an extremely reliable attendance record. Face Log also offers voice recognition, speech activation and manual photo identification, if required. Read more about facial recognition.

No signal or data credit? No problem
If there is no network signal, easyLog’s apps still allow employees to record attendance on their phones. The data is simply stored and transferred, along with the clocking times, when the next clocking is made or the app is opened within range of a broadband connection.
All our apps also include a number of in-built security features, such as cross referencing the time on the phone and identification of the phone being used, that prevent clocking fraud.
Other attendance recording apps for versatile tablets
The Clock with ID attendance app allows workers to clock in and out via a PIN or drop-down menu on an ordinary tablet, turning it into a fixed or portable attendance monitoring device at minimal cost. We also offer similar apps for phone and tablet to record visitor attendance and manage roll call lists.
If you prefer tags to QR codes, the NFC Clock app enables employees to record attendance by using a tablet or smartphone to scan a proximity tag. Read more about clocking with NFC tags on our night checks page.
