Employee attendance app — clock in from any phone

Dawmly is a time and attendance app where every employee clocks in and out from their own phone, with the time and GPS location saved on every punch and no fingerprint machine at the door. It calculates lateness and overtime, exports attendance to Excel, and keeps working offline. Free forever for up to 3 employees, no credit card.

How it works

1. 1

   Add your team

   One by one or from a single Excel import, then send them the app link.

2. 2

   Employees clock in by phone

   One tap in the Dawmly app on Android or iPhone saves the time and location.

3. 3

   See it live

   From the web dashboard or the admin app: who is in, who is late, who is absent today.

What every punch records

Each clock-in and clock-out saves the exact time and the GPS coordinates it was made from. On Growth you can also require a selfie with each punch for admins to review (photo capture and review, not face recognition).

Lateness and overtime, worked out for you

Dawmly matches each clock-in to the employee's shift or normal start time and records the minutes late. On Growth you set a late policy once (deduction multiplier, warning threshold, and when repeated lateness turns into a part-day deduction) and it lands on the payslip automatically. Try the arithmetic in the lateness deduction calculator.

Approved overtime flows into payroll with your day, night, rest-day and holiday multipliers. For a quick check, use the overtime calculator.

A replacement for the fingerprint machine, not an add-on

Dawmly does not connect to fingerprint terminals like ZKTeco; it replaces them. There is no device to buy or repair and no queue at the door, and the same app covers branches, field staff and on-site workers. Moving off a device? Follow the step-by-step switch guide.

Works offline

Basements, sites and warehouses lose signal. A punch made offline is stored on the phone and sent when the connection returns, and offline mode is on by default on every plan. See how it works.

Multiple branches and field teams

Unlimited branches from Starter: each manager sees their branch, the owner sees all. On Growth, draw a geofence around each branch so clock-ins count only inside it, and track field visits.

Attendance reports, ready for Excel

Instead of a hand-kept attendance sheet, filter the report by period and branch and export to Excel or CSV (Starter), or PDF on Growth. Still on a spreadsheet? Download the free attendance sheet template, and when the team grows, move everyone into Dawmly with one Excel import.

What each plan includes

Free covers up to 3 employees. Paid plans are priced in EGP per employee per month — see pricing.
