## What it is
PunchClock is an iOS in/out attendance tracking app that uses iBeacon and geofencing to detect when employees arrive or leave. It requires a companion PunchClockServer and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- track when employees arrive and leave the office automatically
- build an office check-in app using iBeacons
- get push notifications when coworkers change in/out status
- fine-tune iBeacon and geofence placement with Core Location data
- send messages to people currently marked as in

## When to choose
- you need a reference implementation of iBeacon and geofencing in Objective-C
- you want to self-host an in/out tracking system with its companion server

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, supported attendance app
- you don't want to run the companion PunchClockServer
- you target iOS versions beyond what this legacy app supports
