Captains
Captains set up the church, invite people, and manage the roster. They also build the Sunday schedule and see who has checked in.
Less chasing and texting
Kirk helps your church's safety team schedule crew, check in on Sunday morning, and get help to the right people fast. No more group texts.
For iPhone. Apple Watch coming soon. App Store link coming soon.
The problem
How Kirk solves it
01 · Schedule and swaps
Open posts are easy to spot and easy to fill. Swaps happen in the app, not in a group text.
No more guessing who is on which post, or swapping by group text.
02 · Live Sunday check-in
Each crew member sees their post and arrival time, then checks in. Captains see how many of the crew have arrived.
No more finding out at the door.
03 · Report in seconds
Medical, Safety threat, Child or family, and Other go to every active member of that church. It shows the type or a general label, and the zone when one is set.
No more scrambling to reach the right people.
04 · Stuck radio alert
A stuck radio isn't an emergency, so it stays apart from real alerts. Stuck radio reports a radio that is stuck on. It does not transmit audio. Crew get a notice, someone finds the radio, and the channel is clear again.
No more blocked channel and no idea whose radio it is.
05 · Crew chat
Direct messages, a group chat, or a note to everyone on the roster. A captain can delete incident reports. Notes to everyone cannot be deleted by anyone. Deleted chats are hidden, not erased. Optional incident descriptions are deleted after the time captains set (1 to 90 days).
No more guessing what was said or done.

Built with care
An alert shows the type or a general label, and the zone when one is set. Message text can appear in notifications. A new-message notification can include the first 60 characters of the message and no sender name. That text passes through Apple, Expo and Google. People can hide message text in notifications.

Captains and church admins see only their own church. Crew in your church can see each other's phone numbers. Kirk has one platform owner. They can see church setup and look up any person by exact email across churches (role, sign-in state, and last sign-in time). They can create churches, edit the public site copy and ops banner, keep church notes, archive a church (which blocks everyone in it from signing in until it is restored) or rename a church, reissue invites, and revoke access. They can promote an existing member to captain, issue a captain invite, and set a church's primary captain email. Kirk does not check in children. Read Safety and privacy
