Face Recognition Time Clock App

Turn an ordinary tablet into a simple facial recognition time clock in just minutes!

TimeTrakGO offers a modern facial recognition time clock system that turns readily available devices like iPads or Android tablets into a secure biometric time clock, no expensive hardware required.

Our time clock app verifies employee identities through facial recognition, giving employees a simple, fast way to clock in and out.

In just a few minutes, you can install the TimeTrakGO Kiosk app on a compatible tablet and begin using it as a facial recognition time clock.

Easily Clock In and Out with Facial ID

Employees simply walk up to the tablet, our advanced facial recognition technology identifies them in under a second, and they can instantly clock in or out.

Facial recognition verifies the person standing at the clock, helping reduce the buddy punching that can occur when employees share badges or PINs.

That means no shared badges, no forgotten PINs, and one less way for a punch to go wrong

Time Off Requests

The time off request feature lets employees submit requests, track upcoming time off, and check PTO accrual balances directly from the time clock.

With detailed insights into available, committed, taken, and earned time, employees can plan their time off with confidence.

Replaces Traditional Time Clocks

A tablet running TimeTrakGO’s facial recognition app replaces the wall-mounted punch clock, badge reader, or paper timesheets some businesses still rely on.

Employees clock in and out with a glance, no lining up for a fingerprint scanner or fumbling for a badge, and you can see who’s on the clock from anywhere, not just the device on the wall.

Biometric Data Privacy and Compliance

Facial recognition relies on biometric data, which means it’s treated differently under the law than a PIN or badge. States including Illinois, Texas, and Washington have specific requirements around collecting and storing biometric data, often including written notice or employee consent before enrollment.

TimeTrakGO maintains a dedicated Biometric Data Privacy Policy that explains how facial recognition data is collected, stored, and protected. If your business operates in a state with biometric privacy requirements, we’d recommend reviewing that policy and checking with your own legal counsel before rolling out facial recognition time clocks.

Beyond Facial Recognition, a Few More Things It Does

TimeTrakGO offers several additional key features designed to streamline time tracking, attendance management, and payroll processes for businesses.

Employee Self-Service: Employees check their own timecards, schedules, and PTO balances without pulling a manager into it.

Role-Based Access: Admins, supervisors, and employees each see only what applies to them, custom roles included.

Payroll Integration: Hours and overtime calculate automatically and export to the payroll system you already use.

Audit Trails: Every change to a punch or a user profile is logged, so you always know who changed what.

Facial Recognition Time Clock App : Frequently Asked Questions

Is facial recognition time tracking legal for my business?2026-07-22T17:32:30+00:00

In most states, yes. A handful of states, including Illinois, have specific biometric privacy laws that may require written notice or employee consent before you start collecting facial recognition data. Check your state’s requirements or your legal counsel before enrolling employees.

Does it work on multiple devices?2024-12-02T16:18:55+00:00

Yes, our time clock app for iOS and Android devices allows you to activate as many devices as needed.

Can it be mounted to the wall?2026-08-06T17:32:32+00:00

Yes. Wall-mounting a tablet is a common setup for a shared time clock station, it keeps the device secure and in a fixed spot so employees always know where to clock in. If you need a mount, maclocks.com and bouncepad.com both sell tablet wall enclosures built for exactly this

Can I prevent access to other Apps?2026-08-06T17:51:04+00:00

Yes. iPads have a built-in feature called Guided Access that locks the screen to a single app and requires a PIN to exit, so employees can’t browse the web or open other apps on the kiosk. Android tablets have the equivalent, called App Pinning, which blocks access to the home screen and other apps until it’s turned off. Both are built in, no extra software required.

What Tablet should I use?2024-12-02T16:18:55+00:00

At TimeTrakGO, we highly recommend utilizing a premium tablet, such as an Apple iPad or a Samsung Android Tablet. However, even more budget-friendly Android tablets are fully compatible with TimeTrakGO. For the best user experience, it’s ideal to choose a tablet with a screen size of 9 inches or larger.

We do not currently support Amazon Fire Tablets.

Is it fast and easy for employees?2026-08-06T17:51:28+00:00

Yes! The TimeTrakGO Kiosk App is built for speed no matter how your employees clock in. A tap-and-go method like PIN entry or facial recognition takes just a second or two, much faster than fumbling with a badge or lining up a fingerprint scan. Employees tend to prefer whichever method feels most familiar to them.

Can I really use a tablet as a time clock?2026-07-21T15:59:25+00:00

Yes, TimeTrakGO Kiosk time clock app transforms your iPad or Android device into a simple employee time clock with PIN entry or optional facial recognition in just minutes. No expensive hardware is needed. Download it for free on Apple App Store or Google Play
