What it does

Swipe to take attendance

Swipe each name right for present, left for absent. Auto-saves as you go — no "Save" button to forget. A class of 30 takes under 30 seconds.

Your roster stays on the phone

Student names and attendance records never leave your device. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Nothing for anyone to leak or lose.

Reports at a glance

Attendance rate, member counts, session history — everything you need for a parent conference or admin check-in, in one screen.

Pricing

Simple. No ads, no upsells.

Try Attenda free for 7 days. After that, $4.99/month or $39.99/year. One subscription, that's it.

Reserve early access

Get on the list before launch and we'll send a promo code for 30% off your first year — $27.99 instead of $39.99 — as a thank-you for waiting with us. One email when Attenda goes live, then nothing. No drip, no list-sharing.

Why on-device

Your students' data stays where it belongs — on your device.

Attenda doesn't run a server. There's no cloud sync, no telemetry, no analytics, no tracking. The roster is in your phone's local storage, nowhere else — there's nothing to leak even if someone wanted to.

Export anything to CSV or PDF when you need to share with parents or admin. And if Attenda ever shuts down, your data is still yours: it lives on your phone, not in our cloud.

FAQ

Questions we expected.

Will there ever be a free version of Attenda?

Not planned. Attenda is a paid app with a 7-day free trial — that pays for development without ads or data resale. If the price doesn't fit, the free teacher tools on AnchorKite cover some of the same needs.

How does Attenda work without the cloud?

All your groups, rosters, and attendance records live in your phone's local storage — the same place your photos and texts live. The app doesn't make network calls to send data anywhere. You can verify this by putting your phone in airplane mode: Attenda will still work perfectly.

What if I lose my phone — does my data go with it?

Anything stored only on your phone is at risk if the phone is lost. Attenda lets you export your data to CSV or PDF at any time, and we recommend doing this periodically — say, at the end of each term. Some teachers email the export to themselves as a simple backup.

Can I export my attendance records?

Yes. Export to CSV (for spreadsheets) or PDF (for printing or sharing with parents) any time, from any group's report screen. There is no premium tier — full export is included in the subscription.

When will the iPhone version be available?

Android first. There's no firm iOS date yet — getting iPhone hardware for proper testing and going through App Store review are both gating the iOS version. Sign up for the waitlist and you'll get an email the moment iOS is live.

Does Attenda fit my classroom or group?

Attenda is designed for any setting where someone takes attendance for a group: K-12 classes, college courses, after-school clubs, sports teams, scout troops, music ensembles, religious education classes. It doesn't tie itself to a specific gradebook, so it works across age ranges and contexts.

How is Attenda different from my school's official system?

Attenda is a personal tool, not a replacement for your school's official records system. Many teachers use both: the school system for the official record, Attenda for the moment of actually taking attendance — because school systems are usually clunky for in-class use. Transfer totals over at the end of the day.

Is there a discount for waitlist signups?

Yes. Everyone signing up before launch gets 30% off their first year — $27.99 instead of $39.99 — delivered as a promo code in the launch-day email. After year one, the subscription renews at standard pricing.
