A list you can actually use
Replace the clipboard before it creates more work
A guest list is useful only when the details are readable, the visits stay connected, and the records can move into your approved workflow.
One-time forms lose the return visit
MemberMaker keeps visits connected to the same guest, making repeat attendance easier to recognize.
The list should work after the event
Export a clean CSV for an approved spreadsheet, contact tool, or follow-up process without retyping paper sheets.

Install MemberMaker on your iPad or Android tablet, sign in to the same account, and select your organization. Open fullscreen mode so visitors can check in at your table or entrance.
3. See live sign-ins in your browser
Keep the dashboard open to see arrivals and departures update automatically. Review visitor history, answers, and checkout status, then export records when you need them.
Optional visitor checkout
Know when a visit ends—not only when it starts
Enable checkout for your organization and choose the return window. When an open visitor enters the same email or phone again within that window, MemberMaker checks them out immediately instead of making them repeat their profile and prompts.

Yes. MemberMaker has no subscription or paid plan for its focused visitor and guest check-in workflow. Create an organization, configure the visitor experience, and use a supported phone or tablet at arrival.
Can guests enter their own details?
Yes. Fullscreen kiosk mode gives guests a guided self-service flow for the identity field, profile details, custom prompts, review, and confirmation.
Can the app recognize returning guests?
Yes. New visits stay connected to an existing guest when the configured email or phone identifier matches.
Can a guest check out?
