Where the phone is
You set the room's boundary once, by standing in it. A check-in from outside that circle is refused. A shared code can travel across campus; a location cannot.
Students check in from their own phone. Sejeli confirms they are physically in your room — by GPS, by a code that changes every twenty seconds, or by Bluetooth when there is no internet at all. You get the record. You keep the lecture.
A check-in is a claim. Sejeli does not take the student's word for it — the phone has to prove where it is, and it can do that three ways. The last one is the reason this exists.

The code on your screen regenerates every twenty seconds. A photo of it sent to someone at home is worthless before it arrives.
Basement labs. Halls with two hundred phones on one access point. Days the campus network simply goes down. When GPS cannot get a fix and there is no connection, your phone and your students' phones hear each other directly over Bluetooth, and attendance is recorded from that — with no internet at all. The record syncs when a connection comes back.
This is the hard part, and it is the reason to choose Sejeli over a form with a link in it. A form needs the network. A room does not.
Everything below is built and running today. Nothing on this page is planned — it is what the app does.
Set the thresholds your faculty actually uses. Sejeli measures every student against them, per lecture group and per lab, and tells you when a warning is due — before exam week, not after.
A lab group keeps its own timetable and its own roster. Cancel a session for a public holiday with a reason, and it drops out of every student's percentage instead of counting against them.
The moment a session ends the record is final. Export the term whenever the department asks, in the format they ask for, without reconciling anything.
Open Lab A1, tap Start. The check-in window is open before you have put your bag down. The room's boundary was set once, in week one.
One tap each. Nobody reads a list aloud, nobody passes a sheet, and the students who are not there are the only ones you have to think about.
Your phone keeps listening over Bluetooth; theirs keep answering. The check-ins are recorded in the room and sync on their own when the connection returns.
Late arrivals can no longer check themselves in. You can still mark one from the roster — with the time they actually arrived, so "I was there" is a fact on the record and not a debate in your inbox.
Nothing to enter, nothing to reconcile. A student who has slipped under your policy is flagged, and the warning is one tap away from their record.
The student side is one screen. Register once with a student ID, then every session is a single tap. The phone can stay on the desk with the app open — that is all Bluetooth needs.
Are you a student? Sejeli for students is a phone app. Your instructor will send you the install link.
Sejeli was made by a dentistry demonstrator in Egypt whose lab sections kept losing teaching time to attendance — and whose rooms do not always have a signal. It is not a concept. It runs on real phones today, and its first faculty pilot begins in late September 2026.
