Free Attendance Management System
This is the hub for every attendance topic on this site — employee tracking, time and attendance, clock-in apps, leave and late tracking, reports, and industry guides for shops, restaurants, hotels, construction, healthcare clinics, schools and events.
Quick answer
An attendance management system records when people arrive and leave, flags lateness and absences, handles leave, and produces reports for payroll or academic records. Free QR Attendance is a free attendance management system that does this using individual QR codes scanned on existing phones, with Excel/CSV export, leave requests and an employee PIN portal.

Attendance by setting
Workplaces (shops, restaurants, hotels, factories, construction sites, offices, clinics) and education (schools, colleges, coaching centres, school buses). The app adapts terminology for schools and workplaces.
What it does not do
Free QR Attendance does not use fingerprints or face recognition, and it does not run payroll. Fully remote staff who never meet a scanning device are not a natural fit, because a manager or station device scans each QR code.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best free attendance management system?
For small and mid-sized teams that want no hardware cost, Free QR Attendance is a strong free option: QR check-in/check-out, late flags, leave requests, an employee PIN portal and Excel export, with a free version.
Is attendance management software expensive?
Many tools charge per employee per month and some need biometric terminals. Free QR Attendance is completely free — no employee limits, no paid tier — and runs on phones you already have.
Can it manage leave?
Yes. Employees can request leave from the PIN portal and managers approve or reject it in the workplace app.
Where is my attendance data stored?
Your attendance data stays on your device — we don't collect or store it on our servers. Your employee directory, attendance history, leave records and reports are kept on your own device. If you use companion stations or the employee portal, scans, leave requests and a recent-attendance snapshot travel through our server encrypted and expire automatically; they are never used to build a cloud attendance database.
Are there any limits on the free version?
No. Free means free: no employee limits, no scan or usage caps, no trial and no paid tier.
