WatchCrew helps volunteer patrol teams propose shifts, find partners, keep schedules visible, and coordinate support for neighborhood patrols and public events.
Volunteer teams often coordinate through texts, spreadsheets, and last-minute phone calls. WatchCrew gives the group one clear place to see who is available, which shifts still need people, and what has already been covered.
The first version focuses on scheduling, coverage, notifications, and basic team management — no unnecessary complexity.
Volunteers can propose times they are available. Others can join until minimum coverage is met.
Each shift shows whether it is open, needs people, confirmed, or full.
Support two-person minimum coverage with optional room for additional volunteers.
Notify volunteers when shifts are posted, accepted, updated, or approaching.
Admins and managers can invite users, manage roles, and keep the team list current.
Basic reports help coordinators understand shift count, hours, and coverage gaps.
WatchCrew is intentionally simple: create a shift, invite coverage, confirm the team, and keep everyone informed.
Add time, duration, route/location notes, and required coverage.
Other approved users can join the shift until it reaches the team limit.
Everyone can see whether the shift is still open, confirmed, or full.
Coordinators can review shifts, hours, and participation over time.
WatchCrew is currently being built for a small group first. If you coordinate a similar volunteer team, contact us to discuss early access.
