Who is in, who is out, who was seen today.

What your staff get
The whole register, on screen
Every resident is listed the moment a staff member logs in — typing a name filters instantly, and the search forgives typos, missing accents and names in either order. One tap — or one swipe, on a tablet — records the check-in, timestamped and attributed to whoever recorded it.

The morning starts with the attention list
Missed check-ins, open breaches and residents never yet seen surface automatically. Nothing depends on someone remembering to check — the list is there when the day shift arrives, ordered by who needs attention most.

Thirty days of history, per resident
Each resident's last 30 days at a glance: seen, missed, or not required. A pattern of missed days is visible before it becomes a problem — and the record behind it is never edited in place: a correction is on the audit trail with its reason.
Green: seen · Amber: missed · Grey: not required
Who's in, right now
A separate In & out view — the gate register — records residents signing in and out at the gate and keeps a live count of who's in, with a full movement log for any day — the answer to the fire-drill question in one look. Staff, visitors, contractors and suppliers are signed in and out on the same screen, so the count is everyone in the building. In & out and the daily register are deliberately separate records.

Roll call on every warden's phone
One tap starts a drill or a real evacuation; every other phone on site shows the same list within seconds. Wardens mark people safe as they see them, ticks appear on each other's screens, and the people who need assistance are first on the list with their need beside them. It works with no connection and merges when the network returns. The drill is kept as a record. How the fire roll call system works.

From a spreadsheet to a working register in a morning
Bring the list you already have. Import a CSV with the headings you use and see a verdict for every line before anything is written: ready, already on the register, or the problem to fix. Rooms, ID numbers and evacuation needs come across with it. The same sheet can be imported again after fixing a line, and nobody is ever added twice.

Screens show sample data, not a real site's residents.
A statutory register you can stand over
Nothing edited in place. A wrong check-in or movement is taken off the register with a reason — the whole entry, who removed it and why stay on the audit trail — and a missed one is added at the time it happened, marked as entered by hand. Every entry carries who recorded it and when, and nobody can act as somebody else.
The day closes itself. At local midnight — the site's own timezone, computed on the server — anyone required but not seen becomes a recorded miss. A tablet with a mis-set clock can't shift what "today" means.
GDPR is handled properly. One click produces a resident's complete file for a subject access request. Departed residents can be erased on schedule, with the erasure itself logged. Data lives in Frankfurt, encrypted in transit and at rest.
Roles that match the job. Staff record. Supervisors also manage the resident register. Admins also manage accounts and run GDPR export and erasure — and every rule is enforced in the database, not just the screen.
Who is CheckSteady for?
Any accommodation or residential centre that needs to know who's in, who's out, and who has been seen today — emergency and supported accommodation, hostels, student residences, nursing homes, refuges and any site with a visitor desk, across Ireland and the UK. One site or a group. If your register is a paper book at the desk, this replaces it.
The visitor, contractor and staff sign-in log, with its live on-site count and fire roll call, also suits sites with no residents at all: offices and reception desks, construction sites and contractor-heavy premises, schools, clubs and community centres.

Aimee TyrrellFounder, Tenzing Digital
I was a product manager at Google. Now I run Tenzing Digital, in Dublin.
I built CheckSteady because centres that must know every day who is on site had nothing off the shelf that worked.
How is CheckSteady priced?
Per site, per month. Every feature included. No charge per resident or per staff account.
A busy winter shouldn't change your bill, so it doesn't. The daily register, the door log, the attention list, history, roles and GDPR tooling are all in — there is no tier where the audit trail costs extra.
Book a demo and we'll quote you for the sites you actually run — or start a free trial first and look around before you talk to anyone.
Common questions
What is CheckSteady?
CheckSteady is a web app with two jobs: a daily check-in register, and a visitor, contractor and staff sign-in and sign-out log with a live count of who is on site and a fire roll call that counts everyone. It was built for accommodation centres in Ireland — IPAS centres, emergency and supported accommodation, hostels, student residences and residential care — where the day closes itself at local midnight and missed check-ins are recorded automatically. The visitor log suits any site with people coming and going. It is made by Tenzing Digital in Ireland.
How does the daily check-in work?
Every resident is listed on screen when a staff member logs in. Typing a name filters the list, forgiving typos, missing accents and names in either order, and one tap — or one swipe on a tablet — records the check-in, timestamped and attributed to whoever recorded it. Where a centre allows it, adults can check themselves in at a self check-in tablet by the door, and those check-ins are marked as made at the tablet.
What happens at midnight?
At local midnight — the site's own timezone, computed on the server — the day closes itself. Anyone who was required to check in and was not seen becomes a recorded miss, and the morning starts with a list of exactly who needs attention. Nothing depends on a staff member remembering to close the day, and a tablet with a wrong clock cannot shift what today means.
Is the daily check-in a rolling 24-hour deadline?
No. The rule is at least one check-in per calendar day, midnight to midnight in the site's own timezone. A resident seen at 09:00 on Monday and 10:00 on Tuesday attended on both days and is not marked late, as a rolling 24-hour clock would mark them.
Does it run fire roll calls?
Yes. One tap starts a practice drill or a real evacuation, and every warden's phone shows the same list within seconds. Residents who need help to evacuate are first on the list with the need beside the name. It works with no connection, merges the marks when the network returns, and keeps the record of who was marked safe and when.
Can CheckSteady sign in visitors, contractors and staff?
Yes. On the Visitors tab, staff, visitors, contractors and suppliers are signed in on arrival with a name and an optional company, and signed out when they leave. Your own site staff list becomes one-tap buttons. Everyone still signed in is counted on site and appears on the fire roll call, and the visitor log for any date range downloads as a spreadsheet.
Can a business with no residents use CheckSteady?
Yes. An office, a construction site, a school or a club can use it as a digital visitor book and contractor and staff sign-in log with a fire roll call: Visitors and Evacuation are on from the start, the rest can be turned off under Settings, and the resident register stays empty once the sample residents are removed. Pricing is per site, per month, whatever is switched on.
Can records be edited afterwards?
Not edited, no — nothing is changed in place. A wrong check-in or movement can be taken off the register by a staff member with a reason, and a missed one added at the time it happened, marked as entered by hand; the whole entry, who did it and why stay on the audit trail. Drills are append-only. Every entry carries who recorded it and when.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. Check-ins and movements queue on the device and send themselves when the connection returns. The roll call marks people safe offline and merges the marks across phones afterwards.
How does CheckSteady handle GDPR?
Data is hosted in the EU, in Frankfurt, encrypted in transit and at rest, and each centre's records live in their own separate database schema. One click produces a resident's complete file for a subject access request, and departed residents can be erased on schedule, with the erasure itself logged.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — a free seven-day trial of a single site with no card, which starts with sample residents to explore; you remove them from Admin when you are ready for your own list. When a trial ends the site becomes read-only rather than being deleted.
How much does CheckSteady cost?
It is priced per site, per month, with every feature included and no charge per resident or per staff account. We quote against the sites you actually run.
