Employee time clock kiosk software
with zero logins.
Mount a tablet at the entrance, set up a shared PC at the breakroom, or use any touchscreen on the floor. Employees tap their PIN or scan their badge and they're clocked in — no username, no password, no phone required.

Three ways to punch in
Tap a number. Punched in.
Three seconds flat.
The kiosk displays a simple on-screen number pad. The employee taps their assigned PIN and the clock-in is recorded instantly. No typing a username, no hunting for an email address, no password resets. Fast enough to keep a line moving.
- Each employee is assigned a unique numeric PIN from the admin panel
- The kiosk stays in a locked state between punches — no one can browse to other parts of the app
- Wrong PIN shows an error and resets — no account lockout needed
- Works on any touchscreen tablet, phone, or standard keyboard — no special hardware
- Ideal for breakrooms, lobbies, and anywhere a mounted tablet makes sense
- GPS coordinates captured on punch if the device has location services enabled
Scan and go.
No typing at all.
Connect any USB badge reader or barcode scanner to the kiosk device and employees can punch in with a single swipe or scan. Because USB readers output text just like a keyboard, there's nothing special to configure — plug it in, open the kiosk, start scanning.
- Works with any USB HID badge reader — magnetic stripe, RFID, proximity, smart card
- Works with any USB barcode scanner — 1D, 2D, or QR code — in keyboard-emulation mode
- Print employee barcodes directly from the admin panel — no special badge printer required for barcode IDs
- Each employee's badge or barcode ID is assigned in their employee record
- The kiosk focuses the PIN field automatically so scans are captured without any clicks
- Scan-to-punch takes under a second — ideal for manufacturing shift changes and retail check-in
Any device. Any browser.
Running in minutes.
The kiosk runs entirely in a web browser — there's nothing to install. Open the kiosk URL on any shared device, lock it into kiosk mode, and it's ready. Works on iPad, Android tablets, Windows touchscreens, and standard desktop computers.
- iPad / iOS tablet — use Guided Access to lock Safari to the kiosk URL
- Android tablet — use a kiosk browser app (e.g. Fully Kiosk Browser) to pin the URL
- Windows touchscreen — run Chrome or Edge in full-screen kiosk mode (
--kioskflag) - Shared PC — open the kiosk page in a locked browser profile; employees can't navigate away
- A $80–$150 Android tablet mounted with a wall bracket is the most common setup
- USB scanner or badge reader plugs directly into any of the above — no pairing, no Bluetooth
Shared device.
Individual accountability.
Every punch on the kiosk is tied to the specific employee who entered their PIN or scanned their badge — not to the device itself. Supervisors see exact punch times, and every record is logged the same way as a personal device punch. Combine with GPS geofencing for an additional layer of location verification.
- Each punch is attributed to the employee, not the shared kiosk device
- Buddy punching is deterred — PINs are personal and badge/barcode IDs are unique per employee
- Kiosk punches appear in the real-time dashboard alongside web and mobile punches
- All edits to kiosk-generated punches are tracked in the audit log just like any other punch
- GPS location is captured if the kiosk device has a GPS signal — useful for confirming the device is still on-site
- IP restrictions can be applied to the kiosk device's network connection for an extra verification layer
