GateProof · Private Event Check-In

Your guest list
never goes to a ticketing company.

Issue passes, scan at the door, and get an instant answer — with your attendee data staying on your devices, never on a ticketing company's cloud. No account, no percentage fees, works with or without internet.

See the door flow

iPhone · iPad · Mac. Scans stay local on your devices.

VALID

Pass verified on this device

Chaos → control

Still checking names on a list?

Double entries. Long lines. A clipboard, a group chat, and a spreadsheet that nobody trusts. The door is where small events look improvised — or look in control.

The improvised door

Names cross-checked by hand
“Did we already let them in?”
Breaks the moment Wi-Fi drops
Stressful when everyone arrives at once

The GateProof door

Scan, decide, move on
Already-used is obvious
Works with no internet at all
Calm, fast, professional

2-Minute setup

No account. No backend. Under two minutes.

From a blank screen to scanning guests at the door — five steps, one device. The whole point is that you reach a real VALID before you'd finish reading a setup guide.

Point at any QR. Get VALID, ALREADY USED, or INVALID. Works without internet.

Scanner clarity

Binary. Obvious. No second screen.

The most important surface in the whole app is the answer at the door. Three outcomes, each unmistakable — no interpretation required.

VALID

Let them in. Signature checks out, first redemption.

ALREADY USED

Pass was redeemed earlier. No double entry.

INVALID

Not a pass you issued. Stop and check.

Offline reliability

Basements. Fields. Dead zones. No problem.

Scanning is entirely local — no internet required at the door, ever. Optional Wi-Fi sync keeps multi-device teams in step when connectivity is available.

Guest scan

Guest shows their pass QR. The scanner reads it locally. No server call. Result in under a second.

● 100% local

Staff sync

Multiple iPhones on the same venue Wi-Fi or Apple Direct share scan state. Optional — venue connectivity only.

○ Optional Wi-Fi

Underground venues
Festival fields
Pop-up markets
Corporate basements
Remote warehouses

Friction killer

Guests don't install anything.

Issue a pass. They show it. You scan. A pass is just a QR — share it as a PDF, a PNG, or straight through the share sheet. No download wall standing between people and your door.

Issue

Create passes in seconds, with or without attendee details.

Send as PDF / PNG / QR through the tools you already use.

Scan & go

They show it, you scan, the answer is instant.

Scale without a backend

One event. Several doors. Same team.

Create your event on any device — Mac, iPhone, or iPad — then scan on iPhone or iPad at the door while a Mac manages the event and watches check-ins live (the Mac doesn't scan). Put the crew on the same active team and the same connection type, and redemptions sync across doors in near real time — still no guest app, still no ticketing server at scan time.

Wi-Fi

Same venue network

Recommended when every device shares event Wi-Fi — multi-door crews, three or more scanners.

Direct

No shared network

For ad-hoc crews when devices aren't on the same network. Scans still work with no cloud round-trip.

One rule

Same active team

Every device picks the same connection type and the same active team. Mixed setups don't connect by design.

Trust at the door

Passes verified on your devices.

Each pass is signed when you issue it and checked locally when you scan it. You sell certainty, not a cryptography lecture — but the detail is there if you want it.

How it works

Each pass carries a compact, signed payload. Any device holding the event's public key can verify authenticity and integrity on its own — with no “phone home” at scan time. Redemption state lives locally until your team devices sync it across the crew.

Who it's for

Built for organizers who keep their guest list private.

The events where a guest list on someone else's server is a liability, not a convenience: internal, private, regulated — and off-grid.

Professional business meeting in progress

Offsites · all-hands · team days

Corporate & internal events

Your employee roster never touches a third-party platform. Check in staff without exporting who works where.

People gathered around a table at a private event

VIP · weddings · clubs

Private & members-only events

The guest list is the point — and it stays yours. Nobody's cloud gets a copy of who you invited.

Legal · medical · nonprofit

Privacy-first & regulated organizers

Attendee data never leaves your control, so compliance is simpler when it can't sit on a vendor's server.

Fields · pop-ups · markets

Off-grid & independent events

No signal, no account, no platform cut. Guests are checked in locally — even in the middle of a field.
