A link to Kinmu appears.
Open the link
Open the link and sign in if asked. If you are already working, choose Take a break / Resume / Clock out in What would you like to do?.
For a clock-in, you see “Clock-in registered successfully”.
If you don’t see it
- If you see “Camera access needed”, tap Allow camera. If camera access is turned off, tap Open settings and allow it.
- If you see “This QR code is not valid for check-in.” or “Invalid or expired QR code”, make sure you are scanning your company’s QR code at your workplace.
- If the scanner doesn’t open when you tap the button, your company doesn’t require the QR code. Your clock-in is recorded directly.
Common questions
How do I take a break or clock out with the QR code?
Scan the same QR code again. In the app, tap Clock out and scan the code. In the browser, choose Take a break, Resume or Clock out in “What would you like to do?”.
Why do I see “Manual clock-in not allowed” on the web?
Your team requires you to clock in with the QR code at your location. Scan it with your phone.
Does scanning the QR code record my location?
Only if your company has enabled location check-in, and only at the moment you clock in. Kinmu never tracks you in the background.
Result
Your clock-in is recorded with the time you scanned the code.
