The document describes a mobile app called Swift Attendance that allows staff to mark attendance using an automated system on their phones. It addresses problems with traditional paper-based attendance like being time-consuming and not allowing for easy editing or report generation. The app provides a user-friendly interface on smartphones for creating classes, adding students, taking attendance, and generating customized reports. Future plans include integrating it with a centralized school/college server and sending attendance updates to parents via SMS. Some limitations are the small phone screen size, storage constraints, potential data loss, and cost for teachers.
