Unique Feature
Turn Any Tablet Into a Time Clock — No $400 Hardware.
PIN-based kiosk mode runs on any shared tablet or iPad. Employees enter their PIN, the system captures a photo for verification, and the punch is recorded. Eliminates buddy punching without biometric hardware. Setup takes minutes. Costs $0.
PIN In. Photo Taken. Punch Recorded.
A simple, fast, fraud-resistant clock-in experience that runs on hardware you already own or can buy for $100.
PIN Entry
Each employee is assigned a unique PIN by their admin. At the kiosk tablet, they enter the PIN on a clean keypad interface. The system identifies them instantly.
Photo Capture at Punch
The moment the PIN is entered, the tablet’s camera captures a photo of the employee. This visual record verifies the person entering the PIN is the person it belongs to. Buddy punching eliminated.
Instant Punch Recording
Clock-in time, employee identity, photo, and location are recorded immediately. The punch appears on the manager’s real-time dashboard within seconds via the WebSocket live feed.
Runs on Any Tablet
iPad, Android tablet, Amazon Fire — anything with a browser and a camera. Lock the browser to kiosk mode using the device’s built-in guided access or kiosk settings. No proprietary hardware.
Live in Minutes. Not Days.
Setting up kiosk mode doesn’t require an IT department, a support call, or a technician visit.
Enable in Settings
Toggle kiosk mode on in your company settings. Configure PIN requirements, photo capture, and which employees have kiosk access.
Assign Employee PINs
Admins set PINs for each employee. PINs are stored securely as bcrypt hashes — they can’t be extracted even if someone accesses the database.
Lock the Tablet
Use your tablet’s built-in kiosk or guided access mode to lock the browser to the Cloud Time Manager kiosk screen. Employees can’t navigate away.
Mount and Go
Stick the tablet to the wall with a $15 mount, plug in a charger, and your time clock is live. Total cost: the tablet you already own or a $100 purchase. Total setup time: under 10 minutes.
One Shared Device for the Whole Team.
Kiosk mode works anywhere a team shares a single clock-in point.
Restaurant Host Stand
Mount a tablet at the host stand or back-of-house. Staff PIN in at the start of every shift. Photo capture ensures it’s them.
