Face-based attendance
Employees are recognised by face on the phone itself, with a liveness check to resist photos and screens.
Attendance for Android
Smart attendance management for modern organizations
Record attendance with on-device face verification and touchless punching, plan work with shifts and calendars, and review everything in clear reports, even when the internet is down.
- Free during early access
- No extra hardware: an Android 7.0+ phone
- Works offline
A one-month free trial is planned for launch. See the proposed plans.
Features
Everything attendance needs, on one phone
Set up once, and a single phone at the entrance becomes your attendance kiosk.
Touch or touchless
Choose two buttons, one button, or fully touchless punching where recognition alone records the punch.
Employee management
Codes, departments, designations, shifts, calendars and face enrolment, with active and inactive employees.
Shifts & timings
Day, night and flexible shifts with grace time, expected hours, breaks and half-day thresholds.
Work calendars
Working days, week offs, full and half-day holidays, and schedule changes from a date you choose.
Reports
Daily attendance, late coming, early going, absences, overtime, work hours and missing punches, exportable to CSV and Excel.
Take attendance the same day you install. Default working days, a department and punch buttons are ready for you.
Get started
Touchless punching
Look at the phone. That is the punch.
In touchless mode nobody touches the screen. The app checks that one real person is in front of the camera, recognises them against your registered employees, and records the punch. With two-button or one-button modes, the employee taps to confirm.
Unknown faces are not matched to anybody, and the app asks for one person at a time when it sees several.

Who can do what
Administrator and attendance-only user
Hand the kiosk to a receptionist or guard without handing over your organization.
Administrator
- Manage employees and face registration
- Configure shifts, calendars and holidays
- View and export reports
- Correct, review and lock attendance
- Manage the organization, settings and cloud sync
- Request or cancel account deletion
Attendance-only user
- Open the attendance screen
- Record punches with the configured method
- Manage employees, shifts or calendars
- Open reports or settings
- Change the organization
Offline first
Every punch is saved on the phone the moment it happens. No connection is needed to take attendance.
Face data never reaches our cloud
Face templates stay on the phone where the employee was registered and are never uploaded to our cloud. They leave it only in an encrypted backup file an administrator exports.
One organization, one boundary
Each organization's data is kept separate, on the phone and in the cloud.
FAQ
Common questions
Does every employee need the app on their own phone?
No. Elixir Attendance runs on one shared Android phone or tablet at your workplace, used as an attendance kiosk. Employees do not install anything. Using several kiosks for one organization is planned.
How does face attendance stop someone punching for a colleague?
The employee must be recognised against the face registered for them. An on-device check stops faces shown on a phone or monitor screen, and the optional head-turn check is the one measured to refuse a printed photo. Faces that match nobody are not recorded as anybody. No face-recognition system is perfect, so administrators can review and correct attendance.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Face recognition, punching and reports all run on the phone. Punches are saved immediately and uploaded to your cloud backup when the phone is back online.
Are employees' face photos uploaded to the cloud?
No. Face templates and enrolment photos are never sent to our cloud: the cloud backup holds employee details, shifts and punches, never face data. They leave the phone only in an encrypted backup file that an administrator chooses to export and keeps.
Can we use it without touching the screen?
Yes. Choose touchless mode and recognition alone records the punch. New organizations start with two buttons, Punch in and Punch out; one-button and touchless modes are a setting away.
Which phones does it run on?
Android phones and tablets running Android 7.0 or later, with a front camera. Location features need the phone's location services.
What does it cost?
Elixir Attendance is free to use during early access. Paid plans with a one-month free trial are planned; the proposed plans show what each would include.
How do we delete our account?
The administrator can request deletion in the app or on the Account Deletion page. Data is permanently deleted after 30 days, and the request can be cancelled until then.
Something else? Contact support.
Ready to simplify attendance?
Elixir Attendance is an Android app. Install it on a phone at your workplace, register your organization and verify your email, and you can take attendance the same day. Default working days, a department and punch buttons are set up for you.
