I started building it after running into a frustrating problem at work. We were paying for a fairly large enterprise attendance/presence system but realistically only using about 10–20% of what it could actually do. The rest was complexity and features nobody touched.
At the end of the day we really just needed a simple answer to a simple question:
“Who’s in the office today?”
So I started building a much simpler real-time presence board in my spare time while working full-time.
Attendr focuses on being simple, fast to deploy, and easy for teams to actually use.
Would love to hear how other teams track office presence these days.
Hi Scott
I recently came across Attendr and took a few minutes to look through the product — really interesting what you’re building.
I’m currently building Defectra, a startup-focused testing service that helps founders catch product bugs before users run into them.
We run quick real-world tests on key flows like signup, onboarding, navigation, and mobile responsiveness, then deliver a clear bug report within 48 hours.
If it’s helpful, I’d be happy to run a small free test on one core flow of Attendr and share the findings with you.
Either way, wishing you the best as you keep building.
