Given the importance of the meaning of a presence, it is necessary to have a tool that can regulate the presence process to be more accurate and efficient. Honesty and time discipline must be done in the attendance process. Presence recapitulation is usually done manually, although there are several companies that already use fingerprint devices, but there are some problems that can hinder presence activity. In this case, the creation of an Android-based online presence system uses a geolocation system designed with the Software Life Development System (SDLC) development method with a waterfall model development model and is made using a React Native JavaScript-based framework, PHP and MySQL as a database. The result of this research is the construction of an online presence application using the Android operating system.
