Sign in with your passkey — or create an account, if this
is your first boat.
Confirm you are crew.
Done. Keeping the app on your home screen comes after, and is
optional.
Being on a vessel’s crew list is not the same as being
aboard her — nobody is ever recorded as aboard unless somebody on the
boat says so.
Not on a boat’s wifi
Join the vessel’s own network — it is named after her, like
pepe-crewwize — and this app will find her. Everything at
sea is hers: the logbook, the crew, the calls. This app only carries them.
Making one takes a passkey — Face ID, Touch ID or your screen lock.
There is no password to invent and none to forget. It needs the internet
once; afterwards nothing aboard depends on it.
Write these down now.
Ten one-time recovery codes. They are shown once and stored
nowhere — they are the only way back into this account if the phone
holding your passkey is lost. Each works once.
Sign in with a password instead
I have an invitation code
From the mail that invited you, or copied off this screen before you
installed the app. It is accepted the moment you sign in above.
Or paste a code instead
If a passkey will not work on this device: sign in on crewwize.com,
open Security, make a code for this app, and paste it here. Either
way it only reads your fleet, and it gives this phone no power on any boat
— a vessel’s binding is hers, given aboard and taken away
aboard.
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.

Records three seconds, then plays it straight back. Nothing leaves the boat.
Tap one. Everybody aboard is called, and the boat writes it into the log
the moment it starts.
Watch routine
Not built yet
Named watches, crew put on them by the skipper or the mate, and a
handover that passes the boat from one watch to the next. All of it is
still to come.
Until then this vessel keeps no rota, and nothing here will guess who
has the deck. A watch is handed over by a person, never by the clock.
Sign in to this vessel
Have a Crewwize account? Paste the boarding pass from your account page
and this phone is signed in — no officer, and no internet needed here.
No account, or no signal when you left? Ask to join, then show the
skipper these four characters so they approve this phone and not
somebody else's.

Phones waiting to join
Check the four characters against the phone in front of you before you
approve it. Anyone on the boat's wifi can appear here.

No internet. It is frozen into every entry they write and can never be

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.
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 app, on this phone
The app is served by the vessel and ships inside her package, so these
numbers normally match hers. A difference means this phone has not taken
her build yet.

The appliance, on this vessel
—
This updates the vessel, not this phone. One package carries all
three: the software she runs, the app she serves, and the Android app.
She takes it from the signed repository over her own uplink and restarts
— never by herself, and never while a call is running.
Afterwards each phone takes the new app from her on its own, and an
Android phone is offered the new Android app below.
This updates the app on this phone only. It asks the boat which
build she is serving and takes that one. There is no internet involved
and no update server — the appliance is the only source. To change what
she serves, update the vessel below.
It comes from this vessel over her own wifi. Android will ask you to
confirm — it always does for an app that did not come from a shop, and
there is no shop on a boat.
Stuck on an old build
This clears the copy of the app held by this icon and fetches it again
from the boat. Opening /reset in the browser does not help here:
an app started from the home screen keeps its own separate copy, which the
browser cannot reach. The ship’s log is on the boat and is not touched.
