Patrol sign-on and sign-off
Each patroller signs on at the tower when the patrol starts and signs off at the end. Start and finish times are recorded per person, so the post-patrol log writes itself.

Patrol sign-on and beach roll call for New Zealand surf lifesaving clubs
A patrol log that gets written up after the fact isn't much use mid-incident, and a whiteboard of names doesn't tell you who's actually still on the sand. Clock-In gives surf lifesaving clubs a patrol sign in that patrol members complete on a tablet at the tower: they sign on at the start, sign off at the end, and the club has a live count of who's on the beach in between.
No app and no login for patrol members. The patrol captain and club see the live list, and the same list becomes the roll call if someone needs to be accounted for. Clock-In helps you maintain clear patrol records and supports your club’s emergency procedures — it does not replace your emergency action plan or rescue protocols.
What patrol sign in gives your surf club
Who's on the beach right now
The live view shows everyone currently signed on for patrol. The captain can check numbers before releasing anyone, and spot straight away if someone hasn't signed off.
A beach roll call app when it counts
If you need to account for the patrol — a missing-swimmer callout, a member unaccounted for — switch the live list to roll-call mode and confirm each person in a tap. The muster is timed and saved.
No app for patrol members
Patrollers tap their name to sign on. An optional 4-digit PIN keeps it accurate. Nothing to install on a wet phone, no club logins to hand out.
Clean records after every patrol
Every sign-on, sign-off and roll call exports to CSV for the club's patrol records and any post-incident review.
How patrol sign-on works
- Step 1
Open the link on a tablet at the tower
Keep a tablet at the patrol tower with your club's Clock-In link open. A printed QR code lets patrollers sign on from their own phone.
- Step 2
Patrollers tap their name
Each member signs on at the start of the patrol and signs off at the end — one tap each, with an optional PIN.
- Step 3
Live list and one-tap roll call
The patrol captain sees who's on the beach from any device, and switches the same list to a beach roll call if the patrol needs to be accounted for.

- How does patrol sign-on and sign-off work?
- Patrollers tap their name on the tower tablet to sign on at the start of the patrol and again to sign off at the end. Each person's start and finish time is recorded and can be exported for the club's patrol log.
- Is there a beach roll call app for a missing-person callout?
- Yes. Switch the live patrol list into roll-call mode and confirm each patroller in a tap. The roll call is timed and saved as a record. It supports your emergency procedures; it does not replace your club's emergency action plan or rescue protocols.
- Do patrol members need to install anything?
- No. Clock-In runs in a browser on the club tablet. Patrollers tap their name — no app, no account, no password.
- Can we see who hasn't signed off yet?
- The live view shows everyone still signed on. If a patroller has left without signing off, they'll still be on the list, so the captain can follow up.
- What does it cost for a surf club?
- Starter is NZ$29 a month for up to 25 people; Growth is NZ$79 a month for up to 200 and covers multiple patrol locations. Flat monthly fee, not per patroller, with a free 30-day trial and no credit card.
