Attendance, recognized.

attend is a Windows desktop application that uses AI-powered facial recognition to manage attendance in real time.

Built for attendance, powered by faces

Privacy-focused, offline-first attendance management with advanced facial recognition technology.

AI-powered recognition identifies faces as they appear, so attendance is captured live using ArcFace embeddings and FAISS similarity search.

Two independently configurable daily sessions with automatic duplicate prevention and manual override capabilities for administrators.

Operates entirely on your local machine without cloud connectivity. All student records and biometric data remain under your control.

Enroll students individually or in bulk from a directory. Supports JPG, PNG, and BMP formats with automatic FAISS index updates.

No GPU required. Optimized for CPU-based processing with ONNX Runtime, making it accessible on standard hardware.

Optional biometric data encryption, seven-day unknown face retention, and administrative action logging for compliance.

Designed to run on standard Windows hardware without dedicated GPU requirements.
