crosses Tap · String · Log

Know the machine is free before you walk over.

Crosses keeps the stringing machines in your team room on one screen. Check what's open from wherever you are, hold a window when you need one, and tap the machine's tag to start. Every job lands in the room's log.

The whole room, current as of right now.

No sign-up sheet on the wall, no asking the group chat. Status comes from what people are actually doing on the machines, so it changes the second someone finishes.

Status you can trust

A machine is free, in use, or booked. Orange only ever marks what's live right now or what belongs to you, so the room reads the same way every time.

Hold a window

Request a time on a specific machine and get a reminder before it starts. Your own time is outlined in blue on the room's calendar.

Finish and free it

Tap finish and the machine goes green for everyone immediately. The session drops into history with who strung what, and when.

The machines screen. Sample room, real colors.

A session is three moves.

The same three every time, which is why they're on the mark.

01

Tap

Hold your phone to the tag on the machine. Crosses opens on that machine and claims it for you, even from the lock screen.

02

String

A timer runs while you work. Extend it if the job is bigger than you thought. The room sees the machine as in use the whole time.

03

Log

Finishing frees the machine and writes the job to the room's history: racquet, string, tension, who did it.

02

Stuck to the machine

A tag costs about a dollar.

crossesapp.com/m/4f2a9c

One tag per machine.

Pair a blank NFC sticker to a machine once, from inside the app. After that the tag is the shortest path into a session: no menus, no picking the right machine off a list.

With Crosses installed, the tap opens the app straight to that machine and starts the session.
Without it, the same tag opens a web page naming the machine, so a guest stringer or an Android phone still gets somewhere useful.

Crosses is coming to iPhone.

It isn't on the App Store yet. The app is built and in testing on real machines. This page gets the download link the day it ships.
