Know who is coming – to every rehearsal, training session and meeting. Attendance collects replies up front, records who actually turned up at check-in, and breaks every response down by your groups. All on your own Nextcloud server. SELF-CHECK-IN BY QR CODE OR NFC Put a printed code on the door or stick an NFC tag beside it. People scan or tap as they arrive and the attendance list fills itself. One code covers every appointment – the app matches the scan to whichever one is running. Nobody stands at the entrance with a list any more. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS New appointments, reminders and replies arrive right away. Your server encrypts the message; our relay only forwards it and cannot open it. ANSWER ON THE GO • Yes, no or maybe with one swipe, with an optional comment • Change or withdraw a reply at any time • Unanswered appointments first, the count as a badge on the icon • Response summary by group and team, with everyone's comments CREATE AND MANAGE APPOINTMENTS • Recurring appointments: daily, weekly or monthly • Category, location and a description with Markdown • Attachments straight from Nextcloud Files • Restrict visibility to individual people, groups or teams • Response deadlines, automatic reminders, guests invited by email • Copy, cancel, close and reopen appointments CHECK PEOPLE IN • Search by name, filter by status • One tap per person, sorted by group or team • Check-in summary right inside the appointment FOR EVERY KIND OF GROUP Choir, orchestra, sports club, fire brigade, congregation, volunteers: the app shows not only how many are coming but who, from which group. Twelve yeses do not help when the basses are missing. ALSO IN THE APP • Several Nextcloud accounts side by side • Calendar subscription for Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook • Light and dark, following your system YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Everything lives on your own Nextcloud server • Sign-in through Nextcloud Login Flow: your password never reaches us • No account with us, no trackers, no ads, no third-party SDKs • Credentials encrypted in the device keychain WHAT YOU NEED A Nextcloud server running version 32 or later with the free Attendance app installed, and your own account on it. NFC check-in needs a device with an NFC reader. PRICING Free for 30 days, no payment details. After that a personal licence just for you, or one licence covering your whole Nextcloud – every licence includes every feature. The Nextcloud app itself stays free and open source, with or without the mobile app. Terms of use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Additional terms: https://anwesenheit.app/terms-app Privacy policy: https://anwesenheit.app/privacy-app

Check-in Machine reads name badges and manages attendance for classes, meetings and events. Create a project and enter or import a roster, then hold a name badge in front of the front camera to match it on the device. BLUETOOTH CHECK-IN Create a room on the host. Scanners enter a join code and wait for host approval, then multiple iPhones or iPads can scan together. The host manages the roster and records; scanners send only locally recognized text and receive results. Images, videos and complete rosters are not transmitted. Bluetooth collaboration needs no internet connection or account. PROJECTS, GROUPS AND ROUNDS Keep separate projects for different classes or events. Use flat or grouped rosters and see who has or has not checked in. Create multiple rounds within a project, each with its own roster and records. MANUAL CHECK-IN AND FILES Check in attendees manually, undo check-ins and edit rosters. Import or export JSON rosters, or share a complete .checkinproject file containing attendance rounds. ON-DEVICE PROCESSING Text recognition runs on the device. Camera images are never saved or uploaded. No registration, ads, tracking or third-party analytics. Rosters and records stay on the device until you choose to export, share or delete them. Available for iPhone and iPad, with Simplified Chinese, English and Japanese interfaces. In landscape on iPad, view scanning and attendance side by side. Scanning requires camera access; collaboration requires Bluetooth access. Keep the app in the foreground on all participating devices. Collaboration pauses when disconnected and requires rejoining. A result is not successful until the host confirms saving; offline scans are not replayed. Recognition depends on text clarity, size and lighting.
