Mobile Attendance App
Not every employee clocks in at a fixed device. Synktime's mobile attendance app lets field teams, sales staff, delivery drivers, and remote employees check in from wherever they are working.
No hardware required. Just a phone.
What Is the Mobile Attendance App?
It is an iOS and Android app that replaces a physical time clock with GPS-based check-in and photo verification. An employee opens the app, checks in, and their location and identity are confirmed in the same step.
For companies with no fixed office or a workforce split between site-based and remote staff, this is the entry point into Synktime that needs zero installed hardware.
How It Works
Employee opens the app -
Available on iOS and Android, in 50+ languages.
GPS confirms location -
The check-in is tagged with where the employee actually is, not just a timestamp.
Selfie verifies identity -
A quick photo confirms the person checking in is the employee assigned to that account, this is what prevents buddy punching.
Data syncs to the dashboard -
Managers see check-ins in real time, alongside any biometric-device data from other staff.

Frequently Asked
Does the app work without an internet connection?
It needs a connection to submit a GPS and photo-verified check-in, since that data syncs to the cloud in real time.
Can office staff use a biometric device while field staff use the app?
Yes. Both feed into the same dashboard - see Biometric Attendance Integration for the device side.
Does GPS check-in drain an employee's phone battery?
Location is captured only at the moment of check-in, not tracked continuously through the day.
