Show HN: Attendr – lightweight self-hosted staff presence dashboard

ScottHudson Friday, March 06, 2026

I built a small internal tool because our team had a constant problem keeping track of who was onsite, remote, or unavailable.

Different teams were using whiteboards, spreadsheets, or chat messages and it was messy for operational teams that just needed a quick "who is around" view.

So I built a simple real-time dashboard that shows everyone's status at a glance.

It runs locally, has no external dependencies, and can be deployed in a few minutes.

Technically it's a small Node.js application using a SQLite database with a simple web dashboard, designed to run entirely on-prem without requiring cloud services.

It has been running internally for a while and is now also running in production inside a government environment, so I decided to clean it up and release it publicly.

Curious what the HN crowd thinks.
