Drafting note
INTERNAL MEMO / FOUNDER NOTE / AUTOSAVED

Most HRMS is built for enterprises.
We're not one.

A sidebar full of features you can't use.

Support that's shared, never yours.

Forms built for an HR department you don't have.

Onboarding that drags on for weeks.

Pricing built for headcounts you'll never hit.

Dashboards nobody on a small team has time to read.

So we built the opposite — simple, frictionless, and made for teams like us.

Three core pillars.
Nothing unnecessary.

We replaced a 20-feature enterprise sidebar with three tightly executed primitives.

📍

Pillar 01 — Frictionless Check-In

Attendance shouldn't take more than 2 seconds of an employee's morning. One tap validates their presence against your office coordinates in that exact instant. No battery-draining background tracking, no continuous location history.

Pillar 02 — Automatic Boundary

Burnout happens when people feel pressured to stay logged in, or panic because they forgot to clock out. Insyde automatically closes open sessions cleanly so nobody's clock runs overnight and nobody has to edit timecards on Friday.

Pillar 03 — Admin Intelligence

A live studio presence roster updates the moment someone checks in. Admins spot attendance trends, manage leave approvals, and push automated end-of-day digests to Basecamp Campfire — all without pinging Slack.

Configured for your exact
working rhythm.

Whether you mandate 3 days in office or run a fully asynchronous creative studio, Insyde adapts to your operating cadence.

Hybrid Creative & Marketing Studios

Agencies thrive when teams collaborate in person on shoot and brainstorm days, but work uninterrupted on deep-focus deliverables. Insyde makes alternating office and remote days effortless.

  • Workplace Premise Geofence — One tap, verified: team members open the app and check in, and the browser validates their GPS against the office premise in that instant.
  • Studio Presence at a Glance — Admins see who's in for brainstorming days without pinging anyone to ask.
  • Internal Policy Assistant — Instant answers on compensatory offs, leaves, and handbook questions without pinging HR.
"Insyde took away 100% of our Monday morning attendance friction. Our team checks in on their phone in 2 seconds."

🚧 Roadmap — Not Yet Available

Multi-City Distributed Operations

Manage multiple office hubs (e.g. Headquarters, Regional Hubs, Satellite Offices) with independent geofences and separate Basecamp campfire channels in a single unified dashboard. This is where we're headed — not what ships today.

Not yet available
Today, Insyde supports one office geofence and one Basecamp Campfire webhook per workspace. Everything below is the vision for multi-hub operations, not a shipped capability.
  • Multi-Polygon Geofencing (Planned) — Configure separate GPS coordinates and radius boundaries per city, beyond today's single office geofence.
  • Hub-Specific Notifications (Planned) — Route HQ updates to HQ and Regional updates to Regional channels, beyond today's single integration.
  • Unified Executive Dashboard (Planned) — Leadership views all hubs on one clean screen without switching accounts.

Frequently Asked
Questions.

Does Insyde track employees' location in the background?

No. Insyde only checks GPS the moment someone taps to check in — there's no persistent background tracking or continuous location logging.

Do I need to use Basecamp to use Insyde?

No. Basecamp sync is an optional bonus for teams that already run on Basecamp — everything else works exactly the same without it.

What happens if someone forgets to check out?

Insyde automatically closes out sessions that get left open, so nobody's clock is silently running all night and nobody has to remember to do it themselves.

Can I use any AI model for the policy assistant?

Yes — Insyde is bring-your-own-key. Connect any OpenRouter or OpenAI-compatible API key, including free-tier models.

How much does Insyde cost?

₹999 per workspace per month, for up to 10 team members — no per-seat pricing.

What's included in the ₹999/month, and what costs extra?

The flat fee covers 120 minutes of on-call support a month, all core platform updates and security patches, and keeping any custom feature you've paid for working through future updates. Billed separately: net-new feature requests, one-off customizations built just for your workspace, and support time beyond the monthly 120 minutes (at a premium hourly rate). Routine maintenance is never a surprise line item.

Is Insyde something we self-serve, or do you manage it for us?

We manage it. Insyde isn't a tool you're handed and left to configure — our team sets up your deployment, keeps it updated, and is who you call when you need help. It's closer to a managed service than a typical self-serve SaaS subscription.

Is my company's data shared with other companies on Insyde?

No. Every team gets its own standalone deployment — your data never shares a database or server with anyone else.

Do employees need to download an app from an app store?

No. Insyde installs as a PWA — employees add it to their home screen straight from the browser, no app store required.
