CrewMate is a personal organizer built for airline cabin crew and flight crew. It keeps your trips, duty periods, and layovers — plus the small tools you reach for between flights — in one place, so you spend less time hunting and more time resting. What you can do: • Track your schedule — trips, duty periods, flight legs, layovers, and off-duty time, entered your way. • Layover toolkit — currency, tipping, units, time-zone helpers, and nearby-place suggestions for wherever you land. • Translator — quick text, voice, and photo translation for getting around on a layover. • Ask Eddie — an in-app assistant for quick, crew-aware answers. • Jumpseat countdown — a focused timer for booking-open moments. • Seniority tracking — keep your number and milestones in view. • Plan B — a recovery assistant to help you think through disruptions and your own next steps. • Private crew notes — a personal rolodex of the people you fly with, kept just for you. Built for crew life: fast to enter, easy to read at a glance, and respectful of your data. CrewMate uses no third-party advertising and no cross-app tracking. Free at launch. Important: CrewMate is an organizing and advisory tool only. It is not an official system of record and is not a substitute for your airline's official systems, crew scheduling, dispatch, flight operations, or any regulatory authority. Always verify operationally significant information against your airline's official sources before acting on it.
