The hardest part is getting everyone to install something

Every new group tool starts with the same obstacle: asking twenty people to find, download and set up another app. Some will, some will not, and the ones who do not keep planning in the old chat.

Crews works in any modern browser from the moment someone opens an invite link, so nobody has to install anything to take part. People who use it often can add it to their home screen in a few seconds and get an app icon, a full-screen window and push notifications.

Not at the moment. Crews is a web app you can install directly from your browser to your home screen, where it opens and behaves like a regular app.

How do I install Crews on iPhone?

Open Crews in Safari, tap the Share button, then choose “Add to Home Screen”. Open it from the new icon to use it full screen and enable notifications.

No. Crews needs an internet connection, since calendars, RSVPs and chat are shared live with your crew.

No. Everything works in a normal browser tab. Installing is just more convenient for people who use Crews often.
