AttendFirst is an attendance app for Indian small businesses that keeps attendance and leave in one record. Staff check in from their own phone with GPS, a selfie, or a QR code. You see who is in, who is late, and who is on leave on one screen. When someone disputes a day's pay, the record settles it.
Built for shops, offices, small factories, restaurants, clinics, and agencies with 3 to 15 staff.
ATTENDANCE
• Daily attendance app for staff: check in and check out from any Android phone
• GPS attendance with the location saved on every check-in, so a check-in from home does not count as the shop
• Selfie attendance, so you know who actually marked it
• QR code attendance at the counter or factory gate, with no biometric machine to buy
• Multiple check-ins a day, with tea and lunch breaks tracked separately from work time
• Overnight and split shifts counted against the shift start date, so a night shift is one day, not two
• Multi-outlet: one attendance register app for every location
LEAVE MANAGEMENT
• Employees request leave from their phone and see their own balance, so nobody asks you "how many leaves do I have left"
• Approve or reject in one tap
• Casual, sick, and privilege leave with accruals and half-day thresholds
• Indian holiday templates: gazetted and floating holidays for 2026
• Weekly off as per the Shops and Establishments Act
• Sandwich leave handled as a written policy, not an argument
REPORTS
• Monthly attendance register (muster roll) for payroll or an inspector
• Export to Excel or PDF in one tap
• Late marks, overtime, and absent days in one attendance tracker
WHY OWNERS SWITCH FROM A REGISTER OR EXCEL
Attendance lives in the register. Leave lives in WhatsApp. At month-end nobody can reconcile the two, so the number used to pay people is a guess, and the owner who suspects something is off has no way to prove it. AttendFirst keeps attendance and leave management in the same record, so the day count you pay on is the day count that happened.
FOR EMPLOYEES
