BJJChat Attendance System provides check-in, class scheduling, and attendance tracking for Brazilian jiu-jitsu academies, as part of a broader set of gym, coaching, technique-study, competition, and community tools. Members can check in by QR code or optional hands-free face recognition; a tablet kiosk also supports manual member search. Admins can set up recurring or one-time classes with capacity limits and coach assignments. Attendance features include daily, weekly, and monthly reports, student streaks, coach-hour tracking, multi-location management, and a real-time occupancy dashboard. Coach Mode adds configurable round timers, shark-tank rotation, AI matchup suggestions, and sparring-match recording. The free plan includes over 20 training tools, curriculum and belt progression, AI coaching, scheduling and check-in, and a technique library with over 1000 techniques. The plan is billed forever with no tiers or per-member fees and allows unlimited coaches and students. With permission, iOS can write verified check-ins to Apple Health and scheduled classes to iOS Calendar; Android can write exercise sessions to Health Connect. Billing, CRM, and SMS remain on the roadmap.
