Mintage Pulse
Clock in with a glance. No cards. No buddy punching.
Mintage Pulse turns an Android tablet into a face-recognition time clock. Employees look at the camera, Pulse checks it’s really them, and the clock-in lands in Mintage TimeKeeper with a photo and location.
- Face recognition
- Liveness check
- PIN and profile backup

The problem
Sign-in sheets can’t tell who was there
Cards get shared, codes get passed around, and paper is filled in after the fact.
- 01
Buddy punching
A card or a code can be lent to a friend. A face can’t.
- 02
Paper and guesswork
Sign-in sheets get filled in late, from memory, or not at all.
- 03
No proof
When an hour is disputed, there is nothing to show who was actually there.
The solution
The clock that knows your face. And keeps the photo to prove it.
Pulse recognises each employee, checks they are a real person standing at the kiosk, and records the clock-in with a photo and location. Your attendance records finally match who actually showed up.
How it works
From box to first clock-in
Pulse runs on an Android tablet you mount at the entrance. Setup takes minutes.
- Step 1
Pair the tablet
Scan two QR codes from Mintage Workforce settings. Pulse connects securely and opens in kiosk mode.
- Step 2
Enrol your team
An admin captures five guided poses per employee right at the kiosk: centre, left, right, up and down.
- Step 3
Clock in with a glance
Employees look at the camera. Pulse checks it’s a real person, recognises them and records the clock-in.
- Step 4
Review in TimeKeeper
Every clock event arrives in Mintage TimeKeeper with its photo and location, ready for payroll.
Features
Built for the front door
Fast for employees, honest for payroll.
Face recognition
Clock in or out by looking at the camera. Pulse recognises the employee and greets them by name.
Liveness check
A passive anti-spoof check runs alongside recognition, so a photo held up to the camera doesn’t pass. Your company can switch it off in TimeKeeper.
PIN and profile backup
For anyone the camera can’t serve, a PIN or an optional wall of profiles still works, and each one takes a clock photo for the record.
Photo on every clock event
The verification frame is attached to each clock-in and clock-out, so disputed hours have evidence behind them.
GPS-tagged events
Location is captured with each clock event, so you know the punch came from the kiosk where it should.
Breaks and clock-outs
After recognition, employees start a break or clock out with one tap. In and out in seconds.
Guided enrolment
Admins enrol employees at the kiosk with five guided poses and clear feedback on each one.
Wall or desk, either way
Runs full screen in portrait or landscape. In landscape the controls move aside, so the tablet never covers its own camera.
Always up to date
Pulse updates itself from Google Play when it starts, so every kiosk runs the current version.
Face data, handled with care
Our Mintage Pulse Privacy Policy sets out exactly which face data Pulse collects, where it is stored, who can see it, and how employees can withdraw consent and have it deleted.
Mintage Core
Part of your Mintage setup
Pulse captures the clock-in. The rest of Mintage does everything after.
Mintage TimeKeeper

From the build journal
How Mintage Pulse is being built
Overtime requests at the kiosk
Employees on a planned shift can now ask for overtime at the kiosk. Pulse also asks for missing profile photos and handles kiosks that do not use face clocking.
Hands-free clocking, and an iOS port begins
Pulse can now clock people in without a tap, enrolment drops to two photos, and work started on an iOS version of the kiosk. The iOS app is not released.
Pulse joins TimeKeeper, with PIN and QR clocking
Pulse now sends clock events to Mintage TimeKeeper and gains new ways to clock in: a PIN, a rotating Connect QR code, or tapping your name.
