What's new

Design audit: Crewers and empty companies

• A company you haven't worked yet used to show an empty chart with a $0 to $1 scale. Now it just says so, with a button to add your first gig with them.
• Last Contacted on the Crewers page reads as plain text with a small pencil — click it to pick a date. The date box on every row is gone.
• Fixed: editing a Last Contacted date in that list never actually saved. It does now.
• Phone numbers display in one consistent format everywhere, however they were typed in.
• Added a search box to the Crewers page — it matches names, companies, emails and phone numbers.

Companies that tell you something

• Every company card now shows what you've earned from them this year, what they still owe you, your average per gig, and either your next booked date with them or the last one you worked.
• A link straight to that company's paystub site sits on the card, and Email, Call and their travel site moved into the card's menu — no more opening a company just to find a phone number.
• Two filters: Active shows companies you've worked in the last year or have a gig booked with; All shows everything. Both carry counts so nothing looks like it vanished.
• Invoice PDFs now show a subtotal under your services and another under your expenses, so the grand total visibly adds up.

Receipts on your invoices

• Attach expenses to a gig, and they carry through to the invoice you generate from it — with the receipt itself included in the downloadable PDF, one per page. Your client gets the proof without you emailing it separately.
• Each attached expense has a Bill to client toggle, so you can track something against a gig for your own records without putting it on the invoice.
• Marking a gig as paid now reliably marks its invoice paid too — including invoices you built by hand on the invoice form, which previously didn't update.
• Adding a paid date or a payment amount on the gig edit form now sets the gig to Paid when you save, the same way it already did from the gigs list.
• On your phone, the invoice list leads with the gig name instead of the company — much easier to spot the one you're looking for.

Company cards that earn their space

• Your Companies page now tells you something: every card shows what you've earned from that company this year and how many gigs — the same math as your Gigs page totals, so the numbers agree.
• The filter buttons on Companies (and the date presets in Reporting) now match the tabs everywhere else.
• On Mileage, Add Mileage Entry is the one main button up top; Saved Routes moved down beside the export buttons where the secondary actions live.
• The tip banners in tax planning are easier to read — bigger text, less clutter.

Polish across the board

• The individual gig view catches up with the new look — clean bordered stat cards instead of rainbow-topped ones, and an ink Edit button.
• Every filter dropdown in the app now looks the same, and the Add New button sits at the right edge of its row on every page.
• The tax planning area got a tidy-up: consistent card borders, breathing room under its headings, and one shade of green for money in your favor — the same green everywhere.
• Small things too: stat cards line up along their tops, the expense summary box lost its odd gradient, and the dashboard's View All links match the app's link style.

Cleaner pages, clearer buttons

• The grey boxes behind your pages are gone — everything now sits cleanly on the page itself, so your lists and cards get the full width and the focus.
• List pages lost their big title bars too: the table's own ink masthead already tells you where you are, and the Add New button now sits right beside the filter tabs where your hand already is.
• One button style for main actions everywhere — the solid ink button. The last of the old gradient buttons is retired.
• The paid and pending amounts on your stat cards are back in color: paid in green, pending in coral, so you can read the split at a glance.

The call-sheet look, everywhere

• Your stat cards are now one clean design across the whole app — flat white with an ink border, a small typewriter label, and the number front and center. The rainbow gradients are gone.
• Every list — Gigs, Invoices, Expenses, Crewers — now opens with an ink masthead strip, like the header of a call sheet, showing live counts and totals for what you're looking at.
• On your phone, gig and invoice cards carry that same ink strip with the date or invoice number and the status, so the thing you scan for is always in the same place.
• Filter tabs match the new look too: the tab you're on is printed in ink, and each count sits beside its name in coral.

Crewed starts looking like Crewed

• The app is taking on the look of a production call sheet — the same identity as the Crewed site. New typefaces (Archivo for text, a monospace face for labels and numbers), warm paper tones instead of cool gray, and squared-off corners.
• Tables now read like the documents you work from: printed-style column headers, and money set in monospace so every digit lines up down the column.
• Buttons got a clear hierarchy — the main action on any screen is now a solid ink button, everything else stays quiet.
• Nothing moved and nothing works differently; this release is purely how it looks. More refinements follow.

Cards everywhere on mobile

• Invoices, Expenses, and Crewers now get the same card treatment Gigs got — no more sideways scrolling on a phone. Invoices show the number, status, company, dates, and total at a glance; Expenses put the amount and receipt link right where your thumb expects them.
• Crewer cards put a full-width Email button and Call button on every card, well away from the edit menu — so reaching out to a contact never risks tapping the wrong thing. Phone numbers are now tap-to-call.
• As before, tablets and computers keep the full tables.

Your gigs, easier to read on a phone

• The gigs list no longer asks you to scroll sideways on a phone. Each gig is now its own card: the event name and status up top, company and date underneath, pay before and after tax side by side, and the invoiced/paid dates along the bottom.
• Everything you could do in the table still works on the cards — change a status, edit a payment or date in place, select gigs to invoice together, sort and filter.
• Tablets and computers keep the full table exactly as it was.

Expense categories get their colors

• Every tax category now has its own color, and it's the same color everywhere — the badges on your expense list, the summary bars, and the charts in Reporting. Travel is always the same green; Supplies is always the same coral.
• Before, chart colors were dealt out by size, so a category could change color whenever your spending shifted. Now they hold still.
• Also in this release: bigger, easier-to-tap checkboxes on the gig and rate card forms.

Expense trackers, now in Reporting

• The stacked category bars from your Expenses page now also live on Reporting's Expenses tab, right next to the breakdown donut.
• These follow whatever date range you've picked — This Month, a quarter, a custom range — so you can see where the money went for exactly the period you're looking at.
• New "Client Paid vs Claimable Mileage" chart on the same tab: how much of your driving clients reimbursed versus what you can claim on your taxes, in miles and dollars.

Reporting, one tab at a time

• Reporting used to be one very long page — overview numbers, then quarterly taxes, tax planning, and seasonal trends all stacked underneath. Each of those now has its own tab: Overview, Income, Expenses, Companies, Taxes, and Trends.
• Taxes puts your quarterly estimates and the tax planning cards side by side, and Trends holds the seasonal analysis. One thing on screen at a time.
• Tabs remember where you are. The web address updates as you switch, so you can bookmark the Taxes tab, refresh without losing your place, or send someone a link that opens exactly where you meant.
• Changing the date range stays on the tab you're looking at instead of jumping you back to the start.

More swiping, less scrolling

• The swipeable cards from last release now cover the rest of the app on a phone: your Tax Planning cards, the Tax Planning Tips, the Key Insights on Seasonal Trends, and your Mileage summary.
• The Expense Summary by Tax Category stayed a list on purpose — its bars are sized against each other, so seeing them one at a time would defeat the point. It just got tighter, so it takes up about a third less room.

Swipe through your numbers on mobile

• On a phone, the summary cards on your dashboard, gigs list, invoices, and reporting used to stack into a tall column you had to scroll past to reach anything. They now swipe sideways instead — one flick per card, dots underneath to show where you are.
• The dashboard fits two stats per swipe, so the whole year-to-date row takes about the space of a single card. Everything below it starts that much higher up the screen.
• Nothing changed on a tablet or a computer — the cards still lay out side by side there.

Your dashboard stats are now shortcuts

• The seven numbers at the top of your dashboard are clickable. Tap Gigs to open this year's gigs, Mileage for your trips, Earned for Reporting — each one takes you straight to what it's counting.
• Outstanding and Overdue open your invoices already filtered to just those invoices, so you can go from "8 outstanding" to chasing them in one tap.
• Invoices also has a new row of filter tabs — All, Draft, Outstanding, Paid, Overdue — each showing how many are in it.

New IRS mileage rate — automatic

• The IRS raised the standard mileage rate to 76¢ per mile, effective July 1, 2026 (it was 72.5¢). Crewed now applies the right rate automatically based on the date you drove — trips before July 1 stay at 72.5¢, trips on or after July 1 use 76¢.
• Any July trips you already logged were updated to the new rate for you, unless they're already on an invoice. Billed trips are left exactly as they were sent.
• Your tax export and reports reflect both rates for 2026, so your mileage deduction is calculated correctly across the change.

Add Crewed to your home screen

• Crewed now installs to your phone like an app — its own icon, full screen, no browser bar. On iPhone, open Crewed in Safari, tap the Share button, then "Add to Home Screen."
• It holds up when your signal doesn't. On a weak connection Crewed loads instantly instead of the browser's error page, so opening it courtside or in a parking garage still works.
• Same login, same account — nothing to download from an app store.

Stronger protection for your sensitive data

• The tax IDs (EINs) and calendar connections Crewed stores are now protected by a single, rotatable encryption key.
• If a key ever needs replacing, it can be rotated and your existing data re-encrypted with no downtime and nothing to re-enter — older data always stays readable during the switch.

Mileage, end to end

• Set a per-company or per-gig mileage rate, and trips bill at the right rate automatically.
• Each gig now lists the trips logged against it — miles, rate, and whether they're billed.
• Editing an invoice? Attach any unbilled trips for that company in one click.

Mileage stays put when you edit a gig

• Editing a gig no longer unlinks the mileage trips you logged against its days. Rename a gig, tweak a day, or add a new one — your tracked trips stay tied to the right day.
• Remove a day and its trips simply detach from that day while staying on the gig, so nothing goes missing.

Your logo moves with your account

• Move your data to a new account and your business logo comes with it. Crewed copies the image into the new account, so your invoices and emails keep their branding without a re-upload.

A cleaner way to get help

• Request Support has its own page now, so you can send a ticket from anywhere in Crewed.
• The Report a Bug button sits in the corner of every page when something looks off.

Quarterly tax reminders

• Crewed emails you before each estimated-tax deadline with your current 1099 estimate, so the date never sneaks up on you.
• Turn it off anytime in Settings under Invoices & Tax.

One invoice, several gigs

• Worked a few gigs for the same client? Roll them into a single invoice. Crewed merges the pay, mileage, per diem, and billing codes, with a line for each gig.

Invoice overview

• Click any invoice to see everything in one place: subtotal, tax, reimbursements, line items, and notes, with Download PDF right in the header.

Confirmed gigs on your calendar

• Mark an event with your confirmed-gig color in Google Calendar and it shows up in Crewed as confirmed.
• Gigs now carry a Confirmed status alongside Pending, Invoiced, and Paid.

A clearer gig view

• Multi-day gigs tag each day by type (travel, prep, shoot, OT), each with its own rate and call time.
• Open a gig for a clean, read-only summary with overtime and premiums broken out, so the day rows add up.

Rate cards

• Save a client's pay structure once: a base rate plus the premiums they actually pay (OT, night, per diem, mileage).
• New gigs for that client start pre-filled, so booking a job takes a few fields instead of a blank form.

Your gigs on Google Calendar

• Crewed can add your gigs to Google Calendar for you. Turn it on in Settings and new gigs show up on your calendar without retyping anything.

Mileage tracking

• Log your drives and Crewed tracks the deductible miles for tax time.
• Link a trip to a gig and it can ride along on that gig's invoice.
