Getting your calls on your phone

Stage Company™ sends your calls to your phone as notifications. On your phone, the app and its notifications are called Company.

iPhone and iPad

An iPhone only sends notifications to apps on its Home Screen, so put Company there once. It needs iOS 16.4 or later.

  1. In Safari, open stagecompany.app and tap Share — the square with the arrow. Can't see it? Tap ••• or ≡ in or beside the address bar, then Share.
  2. Tap Add to Home Screen (tap View More or scroll down if it isn't showing). Leave Open as Web App on if you see it, then tap Add.
  3. Open Company from your Home Screen and sign in — your notifications turn on there. When your iPhone asks, choose Allow.

In the Home Screen app, type your email and tap Email me a sign-in link. The app shows a picture while it waits. Open the email and tap Sign in to Stage Company™: the link opens in Safari, which asks Which picture is the app showing? Tap the same picture, then go back to Company — it signs itself in. Didn't ask for the link? Tap None of these — I didn't ask, and nothing signs in.

Android

Open stagecompany.app in Chrome. Tap Install app when it appears — or the ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen. Open Company, sign in, and choose Allow.

A computer

Nothing to install. Open My profile → Notifications on this device, tap Turn on notifications and choose Allow. For a window of its own: on a Mac in Safari, File → Add to Dock; in Chrome or Edge, the install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar.

Choosing what buzzes

My profile → What reaches your phone. It applies on every device where you've turned notifications on.

  • Calls always come through: when you're called, a call time moves, or a session is cancelled.
  • You choose the rest: Show calls (in productions that run a Run of Show), Memos, Chat, Cast Notes, Library and Sign-ups.
  • A call time that moves, or a session that's cancelled, is emailed to you too. A new call reaches your phone and the app, not your email.
  • Sent a report? Word that it was read always comes through.
  • There are no quiet hours in the app. Your phone's Do Not Disturb or Focus does that job.

Production team: My profile → Admin notifications sets what reaches you about each show. Incident reports, and reports about a chat message or a Library item, always come through.

Notifications not arriving?

  • Check this device: My profile → Notifications on this device. If you see Turn on notifications, tap it.
  • "Notifications are blocked": allow them in your phone's settings (on an iPhone, Settings → Notifications → Company), then come back and turn them on.
  • On an iPhone, open Company from the Home Screen, not from Safari.
  • Signed in with the show password? Notifications need your own sign-in: the emailed link, or Face ID or a fingerprint.
  • Changed your sign-in email? Turn notifications on again on each device.
  • On Android, if they won't turn on at all, your phone may not have Google Play services, which Chrome needs. Firefox works without them.
  • Still nothing? My profile → Something wrong? Tell us, or email info@stagecompany.app.
