What ShepherdOS is
ShepherdOS is a web service for churches managing children’s registration, check-in, safeguarding, attendance, and collection. QR check-in and verified check-out are time-stamped and audit-trailed. Safeguarding tools include allergy badges, consent tracking, and accessible emergency contacts. Parents can register children, submit consent, pay fees from a phone, and sign photo, medical, and participation consent digitally. Push notifications cover check-ins, collection reminders, and emergencies. A live dashboard combines attendance, reports, and volunteer assignments. The Multi-Church feature gives each church separate branding, data, and policies. The site also lists AI Pastor, Kids Faith Zone with Bible stories and faith activities, and AI-generated daily reflections. Starter costs £29 a month for up to 50 children and two events. Pro costs £79 a month with unlimited children and events. Enterprise has custom pricing and adds multi-site, API, SSO/SAML, retention controls, and account management.
