crwl is a social journaling app built for nights out on the town. Start a live session to log where your crew is hanging, track stops on a movement timeline, and record drink counts without fumbling between tabs. Friends following you get real-time updates and can drop cheers or comments right from their feed. You can explore active sessions on the Live tab, revisit highlights in the home feed, or dive into detailed stats on each session card. Group sessions let multiple hosts sync updates from the same outing, while the notification center surfaces cheers, comments, and friend requests with a single tap. Data stays in sync across iPhone and web, and there’s no manual export or syncing required—just open the app, tap “Start Session,” and keep the story of the night going.
