Facenox desktop interface
Desktop client

Biometric attendance. Zero subscriptions.

Enroll, verify, and log attendance on-device. No cloud processing required.

Anti-Spoofing

Defeats photo spoofing.

Built-in liveness detection verifies physical presence. It cannot be bypassed with a phone screen or printed photo.

  • Recognition in under 200ms
  • Blocks 2D and 3D spoof attempts
  • Local verification without cloud transit
Offline-First

Works without the internet.

Capture attendance during outages. Facenox stores encrypted vectors locally and syncs logs when the connection is restored.

  • Local attendance capture
  • Automatic sync on reconnection
  • No external API dependencies
Data Privacy

We don't save photos.

Facenox extracts mathematical vectors and discards the source image. Matches cannot be reverse-engineered into faces.

  • Encrypted vector storage
  • Built-in user consent flow
  • GDPR privacy compliance by default
Hardware & spoofing

Hardware-free and spoof-proof.

Zero Hardware Cost

Stop buying proprietary machines. Your existing webcam handles enrollment and capture.

Unfakeable Check-ins

Facenox blocks 2D and 3D face spoofing locally, preventing buddy-punching.

Data Ownership

You own the software and the data. No one can restrict access over a missed payment.
