Question 1

Is this event check-in tool really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this check-in tool is 100% free to use. It runs entirely in your browser using IndexedDB storage. There's no signup, no payment, and no limits on the number of attendees you can check in.

Question 2

Is my attendee data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely private. All data is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB. Nothing is ever uploaded to our servers. When you close or clear your browser, the data is gone - we never see it.

Question 3

Does this check-in tool work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Once you've loaded the page and uploaded your attendee list, the tool works completely offline. Check-ins are stored in your browser and persist even if you lose internet connection.

Question 4

What CSV formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

The tool automatically detects common column names for name (first_name, last_name, full_name), email (email, email_address), and reference numbers (reference, order_id, ticket_number). Any additional columns are preserved and included in exports.

Question 5

Can I export the check-in results?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can export a CSV file that includes all your original attendee data plus two new columns: checked_in (true/false) and checked_in_at (timestamp). This makes it easy to reconcile attendance after your event.

Question 6

How many attendees can I check in?

Accepted Answer

There's no artificial limit. The tool is optimized to handle thousands of attendees smoothly. Performance depends on your browser and device, but most modern devices handle large lists without issues.

Question 7

What if I need more features like QR scanning?

Accepted Answer

This is a simplified demo tool. The full Hi.Events platform includes real-time QR code scanning, shared check-in lists for teams, fraud protection, and full event management. Visit hi.events to learn more.
