Features
Check attendance. Share records. See the totals.
Keep the roster, records, and reporting in one place, so you spend less time tallying paper attendance sheets.
Swipe to take attendance
Swipe a name to record attendance, or apply the same status to several members at once. Check-in times can be saved automatically.
Check types you define
Present, Absent, Late — or Remote Learning, Field Trip, Night Shift. Name them, color them, and add memo templates for the reasons you write over and over.
Attendance totals and Excel exports
Review attendance by period and by member. Export records as an Excel file for reports or to share with others.
Run the group as a team
Invite co-admins as Editors, or give read-only access to Viewers. Everyone sees the same attendance data in real time.
Corrections without the messages
Members submit a request to fix a past record. You approve or reject it with a reason, and the record updates itself.
Members can check themselves
Members sign in to see their own history and totals by type — so nobody has to ask whether they were marked absent.
Also included
Cloud sync · Automatic time stamps · Multiple checks per day · Lock today's record · Excel export · Multi-language support
Try it at your next class, practice, or gathering.
A closer look
How it works
Up and running in three steps
Start with an organizer account. Your members don't all need to sign up.
1
Create your group
Set up a group for each class, team, or gathering. Every group keeps its own check types and its own roster.
2
Define your check types and rules
Set the statuses and colors your group actually uses, then choose whether time is stamped automatically and whether a day allows more than one status.
3
Add members and start checking
Enter names or import a roster from your contacts or Excel. Each attendance check feeds into your records and statistics.
Put it to work at your next session
Schools & academies
Keep separate class rosters and record late, early, or excused absences. Review a student's history before a parent meeting.
GuidesChurches & small groups
Keep a roster for each ministry or small group. Let co-teachers and leaders take attendance on the same shared list.
GuidesClubs & communities
Record participation at each meeting or practice. See how often members have attended over a chosen period.
Companies & teams
Set up team rosters and the statuses you need. Give colleagues permission to edit, or read-only access to review records.
Frequently asked questions
Is Attendable really free?
Yes. Attendable is free to download and use on iOS and Android. The app contains ads, with no feature locked behind a paywall.
Can I create my own attendance types?
Yes. Beyond Present and Absent, you can add statuses such as Remote Learning, Late, Field Trip, or Work from Home, each with its own name and color.
Can several people manage the same group?
Yes. Invite others as Editors to manage attendance with you, or as Viewers for read-only access. Everyone sees the same data in real time.
Do members need their own accounts?
Not necessarily. You can track a whole group on your own. If members do sign in, they can review their own records and request corrections to past entries.
Can I keep my records when I change phones?
Attendance records are saved to the cloud and linked to your account. Sign in with the same account on your new device to access your existing records.
