Manoeuvres
This phone is not signed in aboard
This is CREWWIZE in the browserChrome cannot build the real app here — it needs a Google server the
boat has no route to, so “Add to Home screen” gives you a link that
looks like the app and loses the microphone when the screen locks.
Install the real app from this boat.
Update availableA newer CREWWIZE is on the boat.
Off — you will not be alerted with the screen locked
This boat cannot be reached
Nothing below is current. If you are away from her, your fleet and your
voyages can still be read from Crewwize.

What are you writing?
Diagnostics
Records three seconds, then plays it straight back. Nothing leaves the boat.
Choose who is called, then tap one. The boat writes it into the log the
moment it starts. A man overboard and All hands always call everybody.

Briefing
Phones waiting to join
Scan the square on the phone in front of you, or check its four
characters by eye. Anyone on the boat's wifi can appear here, so one of
the two has to happen before you approve.
Two kinds of square work: the one a phone draws when it asks to join,
which says which handset, and a crew member's boarding pass,
which says who they are. Scanning a pass fills in the name; you
still say which phone it belongs to.

No internet. It is frozen into every entry they write and can never be
edited.
Getting a new phone aboard
Hold your phone up and let them scan. Both come from this vessel — there
is no internet out here and none is needed, and nothing leaves her.
Open Crew and tap your name, so the log records who is writing.
?
This name is frozen into every logbook entry you write. The log is append-only,
so a correction is a new entry — it never rewrites the old one.
Your name
Your name is kept with your Crewwize account and is changed there, not on
the boat — this vessel has nowhere to send a correction to it. Change it
ashore and it arrives here on the next sync.
Entries you have already written keep the name they were signed with. That is
not a limitation to work around — it is what makes the log worth trusting.
Your name
The crew calls you by your first name; the logbook records you in full.
Entries you have already written keep the name they were signed with. That is
not a limitation to work around — it is what makes the log worth trusting.
Access is not authenticated.
The appliance is running with anonymous access enabled, so anyone on the boat's
wifi can reach it. Device enrolment replaces this.
Enrolment required.
Only devices bound to a crew member can write to the log.
This device
Passkey on this phone
Ashore
Paste the code from Security on crewwize.com to let this app show
your fleet and your voyages when you are away from the boat. It can only
read them, and it gives this phone no power on any vessel — a
boat's own binding is hers, given aboard and taken away aboard.
Unbinds the device from your name. The next person to pick it up must say who
they are before anything they do reaches the log.
Night is the default because white light costs about twenty minutes of adapted
night vision, and this screen is used in a dark cockpit.
Device
The screen holds the orientation you pick and does not follow the device. A
screen that flips while you are bracing against a swell and reaching for
“Tack” is a mis-tap, not a convenience.
Rotation
Your microphone in a manoeuvre
Open is the default and the right answer for almost everybody: the
microphone opens by itself when you speak, so during a manoeuvre you touch
nothing at all. Push to talk puts a button on the call screen for a
berth where the microphone must stay shut. Open mic sends everything,
for when the automatic answer is getting it wrong.
This browser will not hold the orientation.
iOS gives no app the ability to lock rotation. The layout changes, but the
screen still turns with the device — use the iPhone’s own
Rotation Lock in Control Centre to hold it.
This vessel’s server
—
Internet
—
Measures the connection to CREWWIZE and uses about 1.3 MB of data.
Spare card
A complete copy of this server's card. If her card fails, put the spare in its place and she starts as herself.
Write a spare card?
The spare holds everything on this server — the logbook, the crew’s emergency information and her key — unencrypted. Keep it as safe as the server itself. Never run it while her own card runs in another board: the logbook would split in two.
Switch off
Shut her down before you disconnect the power, so nothing is lost.

Details
Clears the copy of the app held by this icon and fetches it again.
An app started from the home screen keeps its own copy, which the browser
cannot reach. The ship’s log is on the boat and is never touched.
For information. She updates herself when she has internet and
nothing is happening aboard — never during a manoeuvre. There is nothing
to do here and no control that reaches her.

Estimate — not a navigational bearingRead by this phone’s compass, inside a steel boat,
beside its own speakers and magnets. Nobody has swung it and it reports no
accuracy. Use a hand bearing compass for anything that matters.
