No. Students do not need an account. They simply scan a session QR code or enter the access code to reach the check-in page. From there, they submit their student ID, the 4-character PIN, and the challenge answer. Lecturers, however, need an account to create and manage sessions.
Vigilo is a real‑time attendance verification system that uses QR codes, PIN challenges, and peer validation to ensure accurate check‑ins for lectures and events. It supports projector‑based, peer‑to‑peer, and hybrid modes.
I'm documenting everything — the builds, the bugs, the rejections, the wins.
If you're a developer building in Africa, or just building something real from scratch — follow along. This one's for us.
Vigilo lets lecturers run attendance with a rotating PIN — no paper, no QR projectors failing mid-class, no Excel chaos afterward.
Built for Nigerian university realities. 500-student lecture halls. Unreliable infrastructure. All of it.
The goal? To eliminate the manual grind and bring transparency to student attendance.

After countless sleepless nights and a journey that involved borrowing laptops just to keep the code moving
Vigilo is finally live. 🛡️
It’s not just an attendance tracker; it’s a smart ecosystem for the modern university.
You're a university lecturer.
You prepare slides, answer emails, grade assignments, hold office hours.
Why are you also playing detective with attendance?
"Were you really here?" "Why does my sheet say 47 but I count 43?"
Vigilo: GPS + unique links = attendance that just works.
