Getting started with Attendlr

Attendlr is built for trainers and instructors: you track your students, attendance and payments in one place. Your students don't sign up or log in — you record everything for them, and they're records in your roster, not app users.

This guide walks you through everything you need to get going: your account, a few basic settings, and your first student.

Tip: You don't need to set everything up at once. Add a few students, record attendance for the first session, and figure out the rest as you go.
  1. Create an account with your email or Google account.
  2. Verify your email address using the link we send you.
  3. Answer a few quick questions after signing in: your name, language, currency and timezone.
  4. On the Home screen's Get started checklist, add your first student.
  5. In the same place, add a location, then create a class type.
  6. Record attendance for their first session.

Why does location come before class type? Because a class type refers to a default location, so the location has to exist first. Sessions and attendance, in turn, are built on the class type. The Get started checklist disappears on its own once all three are done, and you can dismiss it any time with the X.

You can also use Attendlr in a browser with the same account, at app.attendlr.com. The web app is always up to date and requires sign-in — you'll see the same data as on your phone. One difference: you can only buy a subscription in the mobile app; on the web your subscription is read-only.

You can switch between Hungarian, English and German in Settings, any time.
