The easiest way to take attendance every week

OneTap is attendance tracking software for programs that check the same people in, session after session. Staff, members and students check themselves in by QR code, sign-in link or iPad kiosk, so the queue is gone in minutes. The attendance record is there for whoever asks: last Tuesday, this year, or all seven years you are required to keep.

Built for next Tuesday. And the one after that.

Most check-in apps handle one date well. Fewer handle the next one, and the one after that.

A recurring sheet runs on the days you choose, a weekly class, an after-school program, a training series, a monthly meeting.

OneTap opens the next session on its own, and the same QR code always points at today’s sheet. Nothing to print again, nothing to resend. Last week’s record sits right next to this week’s.

Everyone scans that one code, so a line of two hundred clears in a couple of minutes. Your staff work the same sheet while they do it, each from their own phone, and there is only ever one version of today.

The record is already here before someone asks.

Did all your people complete the required training?

Every session, every person, already filed.

Every session keeps its own record: the date, the method, and who was there. Pull one person or a whole year and hand it over.

    Location, time, photo and signature land on the record. The check-in QR refreshes every 20 seconds, so a screenshot is expired before a friend can use it.

We asked the people who do it every session.

  • “I’ve been doing nonprofit work for 19 years and so I’ve used a variety of other check-in programs over the years at different nonprofits. … I liked the simplicity. I liked that I could upload the list myself. I liked that … the onboarding … the ability to master the software was quick and easy.”
    Regina RalstonDirector, National Kidney Foundation
  • “I’m so glad to get rid of excel, I finally found what I have been looking for! OneTap makes it easy for me to have profiles with student information, easily accessible, and take attendance quickly. I want to take attendance quickly, and simplify my life, and I’m willing to pay to do it.”
    Jessica S.Teacher, San Bernardino City Unified School District
  • “We recovered $700+ in revenue using OneTap for attendance tracking, this program helps us capture student’s data more easily.”
    Errin H.Gym Trainer, Soteria Training Services
  • “OneTap made our All Staff Meeting registration process worry-free and very professional. App was very user-friendly and loved being able to free up some of my team at registration. This has definitely helped us in moving away from paper for other meetings and training.”
    Daphne S.Executive Assistant, Health Choice Network
  • “I came into the position of Director for our before and aftercare, and camp programs almost 3 years ago, and the system of attendance was not streamlined. Pen and paper, with an info transfer to a spreadsheet for billing. Your software allows my staff to track daily attendance in real time, and being able to pull a report with total elapsed time each month keep my billing precise and down to a 30 minute job. It’s the best, truly.”
    Lisa KinnerDirector, CVMS

You are charged for how many people you check in. Not for sheets or sessions.

We make one thing. An attendance app. So we make it very well.

The attendance tracking software you’ll compare us against is really an HR system, an event platform or a form builder with attendance bolted on the side. It’s their eleventh priority. It’s our only one.

That shows up on a wet Tuesday with forty people at the door, and it’s why we’re not built to catch anyone out.

The people you check in aren’t suspects. They’re the reason the program exists.

And it’s been used, not just launched. Our longest-running program has run this way for over six years.

The questions that come up on every call.

Can I take attendance online?

Yes. OneTap is an online attendance system: people check in by scanning a QR code, tapping their name on a shared iPad, or being checked in by an admin, and every check-in writes straight to a digital attendance register you can filter and export.

It runs in any browser, so you can take attendance online from a laptop, phone or tablet. Every plan includes collaborators, so your whole team works from the same page rather than their own copy.

Is there an iPhone or Android app?

The best attendance tracking app for mobile use is the one nobody has to install. The person checking in points their phone camera at a QR code, and there is no check-in app for them to download.

For admins, OneTap Check-In is a free iOS app for iPhone and iPad. On Android, admins use the web dashboard, which does the same job. OneTap Visitor, on both platforms, lets people keep their own pass and check-in history.

Does OneTap work for training programs, schools and workplaces?

Yes, all three. Training programs run a course or a mandatory series on one roster, and because people check in and out of each session, every record carries the time in and the time out as evidence for CEU or CPE credit.

Schools, districts and universities use OneTap as their school attendance software, for class registers, homeroom, clubs and dismissal, then export it straight into the gradebook.

And as an employee check in app, staff scan a QR code at the entrance and their arrival and departure land on the record. It is not a payroll or timesheet system.

Is OneTap a free attendance app?

Yes, free forever for up to 20 people, with no credit card and no trial clock. Paid plans start at $49.99 a month billed yearly and scale with the size of your roster.

Can OneTap replace our LMS?

No, and it is not meant to. An LMS holds your courses and your content. OneTap holds who turned up.

Most teams run both and pass the attendance across, using the API, webhooks or Zapier to feed an LMS, Workday or their own database.

If what you want to retire is an attendance tracking system, an attendance management system, a spreadsheet and a paper sign-in sheet all running alongside each other, then yes. OneTap holds the roster, the online attendance register, the reports and the records in one place. One attendance application, one record.

How long does it take to set up, and does it run itself?

About five minutes: import your people from Excel or CSV, print a QR code, and put it where people arrive.

After that, recurring sheets open the next session on their own, and people who have checked in before are remembered, so nobody re-registers.

Does OneTap work as an event attendance app?

Yes. OneTap works as an event attendance tracker. A single event is $24.99 one time, valid for 14 days and good for up to 500 people, or you can add events to an account you already run.

Know what it is built for, though. OneTap is designed for programs that repeat, so the roster, the recurring sheets and the year-end export are where it earns its keep. For one conference a year and nothing else, a dedicated event platform may suit you better.

Can I see one person’s history, and export it?

Yes. Open any profile to see every session they attended and the dates, or export one person’s history on its own without pulling the whole roster.

As attendance monitoring software it exports to Excel, CSV or PDF over any date range, with the columns you choose. Teams who need it to land somewhere automatically use the API, webhooks or Zapier.

How do I stop people checking in for each other?

Give each person their own check-in code, so there is no list to tap and no name to borrow.

The check-in QR also refreshes every 20 seconds, so a screenshot passed to a friend has expired before they can use it. You can also restrict a sheet to a time window, a location, or people already on the roster.

Is my data secure, and how long are records kept?

Yes, and mostly because of how little we keep. The people you check in never create an account. No app, no signup, nothing for them to join. With check-in codes the roster never appears on screen, so nobody reads who else is on the list on the way to their own name.

We don’t collect biometrics, and location works as a restriction rather than tracking: it can require someone to be at the door to check in. What’s on your sheet is what you put there, and you can export or delete it whenever you want.

Signatures, timestamps and check-in history stay available for years, which is what accreditation bodies and pharma auditors ask for. Everything runs on AWS in US data centres, and our uptime is published live and independently monitored at status.onetapcheckin.com.

Move from Paper Sheets to OneTap

You’re already writing it all down. The only difference is where it goes, a drawer or a record you can filter by person, session or site. Put it on OneTap and your morning doesn’t change. Only the drawer does.
